South Beach diet - Day 22

It has been 3 weeks since i started the South Beach Diet, and this morning the weighing scale shows 175.8 pounds, a drop of 16.4 pounds (7.45 kilo). I am targeting 170 pounds before Ramadhan and 160 pounds after Ramadhan. My target weight is 150 pounds by year end.

There has been plateaus on the way with weight not budging a few days at a stretch. When it happens, i will increase the exercise tempo and eat sparingly. I took V8 vegetable juice when i feel hungry and took some almonds to kill the hungry pangs.

My pants felt loose and i can fit in old jeans now. I have not taken any measurements yet but definitely will do it at the next milestone i.e day 30.
