Default I Hit My First Goal!!!

Finally!!! I am under 300 lbs. I thought I had lost about 12 lbs since the first of April, but I went back and I actually lost about 15 lbs since the middle of March, according to my Fitday record.

I am a 71-year old lady with thyroid and pre-diabetic problems and thought there is no way I could ever lose. I tried Jenny Craig, WW and Atkins but the weight wouldn't budge. So, I switched to SB and it is coming off. I haven't been this weight for over 2 years.

I cannot tell you what a major accomplishment this is for me. I have fought with my weight since I was about 20 years old, and it really got out of control when I was 40 - that's when it went over 200 lbs. Other than doing one drastic diet where I lost 110 lbs in 9 months about 20 years ago, and keeping it off for an hour and a half, and then gaining 130 lbs the following 9 months, I could not find any food plan where I wasn't either starving or feeling deprived. But I am fine with this and am so happy. I know that, if I stick with this from now on, I will get to the best weight for my body. Andto think my doctor tried to suggest I have gastric surgery a couple years ago - but the surgeon said I was too old and it would be too risky. No thanks.

Anyway, did I mention how happy I am with South Beach??? Just had to crow a bit.
