Okay, so I've been on the South Beach diet for just shy of a year. I cannot express how happy I am I gave it a try. I really was such a sceptic but it actually worked. I reached my goal weight and since then have really only loosely followed the diet. I think cutting out the amount of carbs I was eating and filling up on vegetables instead has been key for me. I still eat out and I still indulge in ooey gooey desserts occasionally and at celebrations I cut myself some slack. Not only did I reach my goal weight but I continued to lose weight and am slightly under my initial goal. I feel great and have a lot more energy.
But you know I have to complain, don't you. Here's the problem. I have all these clothes that don't really fit me all that well anymore. I may have lost nearly 30 lbs but you wouldn't know it because I'm still wearing my extra larges and size 12's. I'm just so cheap I hate to go out and spend all kinds of money on new clothing for me. Some of my clothing I bought just before I began the diet and it's practically brand new! And part of me is worried that this is a fluke and I'm going to wake up one morning needing those size 12's. I really need to go out and do some shopping for me but the Yankee spendthrift part of me is telling me "no!" I need to tell that Yankee to shut up, get in the car and get myself to the store.

Silly silly silly! Get some new clothes, you deserve it. And ... you can always try and get some of your nice older items altered!
You are both right! Wilma, I never thought about getting some favorites altered...genius.
