Hello ladies,

I've sort of been lurking for a while. I actually found this forum the last time I was on SBD, but never did take the time to set up an account. Since I am MUCH more focused on reaching my weight/health goals this time around, I figured I better get myself signed up to take advantage of all the support I see in here.

The last time I was on SBD was about a year ago. I wanted to lose weight before going on a family cruise to the Western Caribbean. I lost over 20 lbs in about 6 weeks, figured I'd have a hayday on cruise food, then get back to business when we got back. Well, the hayday part went fabulously, but not so good on the getting back to business part...oops.

So, here I am, heavier than ever before (when I started on Jan. 1), and more determined than ever before to make this change, once and for all!! This time around I have a good friend that's doing it with me, which has been extrememly helpful. She and I e-mail back and forth almost everyday! I've been keeping a food journal to help spot problem areas/good things/etc.

I'm happy to be here and look forward to sharing my journey with all of you!!

Hi jyoyo and

I find this journey is better shared when shared with friends. I've met so many great SBD'ers here, and look forward to getting to know you better.

Best Wishes!

Posting often is the way to do it. Lurkers aren't usually losers.

Default Hi...
Just wanted to say hi,
been visiting this board for along time and I too just recently started back on SB...How funny, I too am going on a cruise 6 weeks from now to the Caribbean and want to get a few pounds off, man 20 would be awesome!! The same exact thing happened to me last time...went on a cruise in August and am just now really getting my focus back! Love those wonderful vacations, but I will be glad when I LEARN to stay in control even ON vaca!!! Just wanted to encourage you...I know SB is the best there is as a WOE for life...I have lost 50 lbs and now time for the rest to come off!
