Are you starting to crave things? This is normal, you've kicked sugar's butt and sugar is pissed. According to EHow, these cravings will come to an end; "Most people find that physical cravings for sugar will end within three to four weeks after complete sugar withdrawal." I once lost 35 pounds on the South Beach Diet, and I found that I could walk through the check-out line at the grocery store without breaking into a drooling cold sweat craving a Snickers bar, after about two weeks. I also found that when I gave in and had it, it took several days to stop wanting more. I was imagining vanilla wafers, slathered in frosting, with a gummy bear on top... just surfing into my mouth. Yeah, I have issues.

Well, how is it going? Tell Me Everything!!! Now, if it was up to me, I would weigh myself 5-7 times a day, however expert opinions (I'm no expert) vary on weigh ins, for more information check out this EZine article: How Often Should I Weigh When Dieting?
