Hi, Newbee!
You are going to do great! You'll be amazed at how good you feel after three days. I ate like a pig going out of style (whatever that means! :lol: ) before starting SBD, and I still lost 17 pounds the first week! I think all that junk didn't hang on very well and jumped ship with the sugar! :lol: Seriously, just keep on keepin' on and all will work out. And know that we're here for you!

Hi, Everybody. I've been reading your posts and gathering the facts, books, food, and anything and everything I could find about the SBD and today began my long journey down. I am 66 years old, weigh far too much for my health, need a joint replacement for my knee, and am having a hard time loving myself, but I will get there. Joined curves last month, but didn't go often enough, so beginning tomorrow morning, I 'll begin my curves again and today have started eating right. Wish me luck.

Lolow, it's never too late! When I see how far my family has come on South Beach, I can't believe how fast it happened. Stick with the Phases, believe in your worth, and watch the new "young you" be unveiled :cb:

Welcome, Lolow! Hey, no fear sharing your stats here. They'll become a badge of honor once you start losing! :goodvibes: Sounds like you have lots of good preparation in place and are going to do very well! We'll be here :cheer: you on!
Check out the recipes in this forum...they totally got me through Phase 1! I didn't know about it until Phase 2, but the PB Cup recipe is absolutely fabulous!
