Good for you! I love the fact you started on an official 'sit on your ass' day.

My problem with New Years resolutions is that the time is so arbitrary. If I need to set a goal I can just do it now. If I wait until New Years then that means I'm not really committed.

I've never done South Beach.  I've done Atkins, and that worked for me.  I'll have to look in to South Beach.  Good job, and congratulations.   :D

Slight calorie reduction and the complete elimination of fructose syrup from my diet has caused me to lose 7 lbs in 2 weeks.

Well, there is a difference between corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup.  Are you avoiding both?

Doesn't matter. If it was seven pounds in two weeks, more than likely it was mainly just water. Practically ANY diet will make you lose that much in that short of time.

Sorry, I should have stated I'm avoiding everything but sucrose.

Refined glucose, fructose, maltose, etc. are off the menu.

No more beer. :-(

At about twelve fifteen, new years night, I threw my cigarette out the window (very theatrically) and claimed I would never smoke again.

Lit up next day, and blamed it on the combination of extacy come down, and weed.
