WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - It just made so much sense to me, sounded healthy and it was something I hadn't already tried. Boy, did I finally do something right!
ANYTHING ELSE? - I use to be an emotional eater, since starting SB, eating emotionally hasn't happened once. I love this WOE and believe it's the best thing for me. I plan on this being a life change, not something I will stop doing after I reach goal. I thank my lucky stars to have all of you for your friendship and support!

I had lost 34 pounds, but hit a major wall and couldn't get back on track with that program. As I resumed my old way of eating and the pounds started coming back, I was frantic--not wanting to hit that 200 mark again. Thank God for Sugar Busters and you all.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? – I started low glycemic eating in November, 1999 with Montignac’s “Eat Yourself Slim” and lost 10 lbs in about 5 weeks. I remained at same weight for about seven months by continuing with this woe before I started to lose again. I’ve since lost another 19 lbs. When I discovered the SB support board – Sweetalk – I decided I should read the Sugar Busters book so I could participate on the board. Then I discovered 3FC.
ANYTHING ELSE? – I like the support everyone gives on this board. I consider Sugar Busters and Montignac’s to be the same WOE so have given my original starting weight as the starting weight for SB.

AGE - 27
BIRTHDATE - 06/25
WHERE YOU LIVE - Paradise! Downtown Honolulu
OCCUPATION - Client services, up-and-coming financial advisor
DATE YOU STARTED SB - Hmm about two weeks ago. Lemme look....my first post was on 3/14/2001 but I have poked my head in here over a year ago.
STARTING WEIGHT - I have been over 215 lbs at one point
WEIGHT WHEN JOINING THIS BOARD - 164
GOAL WEIGHT - 130
HEIGHT - 5'5"
FAV. EXERCISE - Wow! I enjoy running, walking, the stairmaster, stationary bike, real bike, rollerblading, hiking, the crosstrainer, freestyle dancing and weight lifting. I would say the one I spend the most time doing is running. The most enjoyable is rollerblading 'cause I rarely have time to do it.
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Let's not even go there!
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - For most of my life I would ALWAYS either starve or eat until I was in pain. I started my recovery in 1997 with a book called "Thin Within," by Judy Warhol (spelling?). I quickly dropped 30 pounds by following the principles of eating whatever I wanted until I was comfortably full. I joined the gym, doing mostly weights and little cardio. I started to go out and have a more active life. But I couldn't seem to get my food "clean" and had many other problems. In Jan 2000 after almost FIVE YEARS of stalling I joined Overeaters Anonymous and have participated actively, including leading a group, since then. I rejoined the gym and started doing lots of cardio. Once again I quickly dropped 40 pounds, this time reaching 154 pounds. Once again I stalled! After doing a lot of work on my emotional recovery with OA, I'm ready to move on to a different level. Sugarbusters is basically the same principles as OA--no sugar, no white flour, set number of meals a day. OA used to be pretty strict about that way of eating until they got "kinder and gentler." (Rolls eyes). I think that letting go of refined carbs is the breakthrough that I need!
As for joining this group in particular, well I must say at the risk of brownnosing ;) that it was because of Debelli. I remembered her inspirational and energetic posts from when I used to post here in Overeaters Anonymous way back. Everybody else is so friendly and positive too! When I felt ready to move on, this was just a natural place to come for support.
Here is a picture of me in Feb 1997 before I lost the original 30 pounds and was my fattest ever:

STARTING WEIGHT - 300 lbs
WEIGHT WHEN JOINING THIS BOARD - 260
GOAL WEIGHT - 150
HEIGHT - 5'5"
FAV. EXERCISE - Walking on the treadmill
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Too many to name!
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - I read the book and thought "I can do this."
ANYTHING ELSE? - I had given up on the idea of losing weight--certainly of dieting. I was in a bookstore while visiting my parents last summer and just picked up the SB book to look at while I was drinking my coffee (I think I wanted to scoff at the latest diet fad). As I read the book made sense and I thought, "I can follow these nutritional guidelines." I didn't buy the book, but went home and told my Mom that I thought I might go back and get it. She said "don't bother--I have a copy that I got when I joined a bookclub." So I took that as a divine sign that I was indeed supposed to adopt SB as a new set of nutritional habits. As I type this, I have lost 48 lbs and 4 sizes! I still have a long way to go--but since this is a lifestyle change and not a diet, I know that I will continue to lose until I reach a healthy weight.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? -Needed to loose & had heard about SB from a friend. Had a second battle with blood clots in both legs, high cholesterol & triglycerides in Aug of 1998. When I left the hospital weighing 193 lbs, I decided to give SB a try. Now, even though my cholesterol is still high, barely within the upper limits of normal, my triglycerides came down from over 400 down to 75.
ANYTHING ELSE? - Ihad lost 38lbs then got off SB & regained about 15 lbs which I have just about taken back off again. I came across this site when I was in need of some help & support to get back on it. I found what I was looking for & sooooo much more. This board has provided answers, menu ideas, inspiration, motivation, & friendship. I couldn't ask for much more.

WHERE YOU LIVE - Virginia Beach, Virginia
SIGNIFICANT OTHER - Peter, husband of 16 long and wonderful (depending on my mood) years
KIDS - Benjamin-16years-fairly decent teenager. Been through drug experimentation, dyed hair, Satanic music, and general negative mood all last year. Now he is into Saving Arrows a non-violent antiabortion group and a born again Christian. Must say he dresses like he got his clothes out of a trash can but he is oh so pleasant to live with these days. (Thought I'd never hear "I love you mom again" Oh yes, he's a vegetarian. Thank you Lord he's not a Vegan. I wouldn't know what to feed him. We are struggling with him to improve his grades. Wound up the school year with 2 failing grades.
Patrick-11years old-going into middle school(6th). Has the mouth to prove it. A sensitive and caring person. Likes music (thank God no heavy metal) and plays the Viola. Loves body surfing at the beach and gets into family fun night. Really addicted to Playstation too.
William-8 years old-3rd grade. Really likable and happy kid. Fun to be around. Lives to be a pain to his older brother Patrick though. Loves Playstation, boogy boards, and swimming.
As you can see surrounded with testoserone 24/7.
PETS - Please don't call me the cat lady. 4 cats. One origianal, Mitzi, and one adopted stray, Betsy, Then we found out she was pregnant and couldn't part with the babies, Shiela and Sabrina.
OCCUPATION - School bus driver. Wonderful part time (20hr) job and has full time benefits and I can take my kids with me. Who knew I liked kids so much? This is my first year.
DATE YOU STARTED SB - June 29, 2001 had been cutting down on sugar since I heard of it the previous week though. Didn't start until I read the book.
STARTING WEIGHT - 185 lbs.
WEIGHT WHEN JOINING THIS BOARD - 185 lbs.
GOAL WEIGHT - 150 lbs.
HEIGHT - 5'3"
FAV. EXERCISE - Spinning, then running.
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Cold Tequiza in the summer time (beer). Margaritas. No I'm not an alcoholic. Popcorn and milk chocolate and homemade apple pie. Ice cream
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - It made sense to me. I had tried working out intensely for a full year and had lost 18 lbs. At the end I wasn't losing. I have eaten sweets daily since childhood and this seems the only answer to why I wasn't losing.
ANYTHING ELSE? - The total turn around in my 16 year old son has encouraged me to return to church on a regular basis. Working on that. Trying to reach contentment in my current circumstances--working on that now too. I believe that a lot of overweight people fall into the "When this......then that...." pit. Me especially. I want to turn that around personally. Oh and I love womens basketball. Started watching them to see how fit women looked like so I could get an idea of what my body could look like. I was told once at the gym to visualize how I would look with less weight. I seriously couldn't. Well, then I became hooked.

WEIGHT WHEN JOINING THIS BOARD - 161
GOAL WEIGHT - 135 ish- we'll see, maybe less
HEIGHT - 5'3 1/2" (that half is very important)
FAV. EXERCISE - Running (slowly, usually uphill) with my dog, weightlifting, and tennis, but that's a game, not exercise!
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Anything I can put in my mouth? I never met a food I didn't like but I sure miss really crusty breads with loads of butter, and salty, buttery popcorn. and ice cream. and tira misu. and...why did I go here?
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - My dad and step-mom have been doing it for about a year- they didn't need to lose much, but their general health has improved so much I thought I'd try. Past "diets" have usually meant starvation and exercising 3-4 hours a day- works for a while, but then the weight comes PILING back on the minute I start to eat again. SB seems like something I can live with. Also, I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and would REALLY like to avoid becoming diabetic!!
ANYTHING ELSE? - I feel great, can't believe I can actually eat and still lose weight.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - It makes the most sense...I've tried everything else and nothing has worked! I've been on SB for 2 days and I know I can continue this way of eating!
ANYTHING ELSE? - If anyone would like a chat/support buddie, I'd love to be one!
