Hello! I'm new to this forum but not new to the SBD.

In 2004, I lost 33lbs in 3 months using the SBD. I guess I got too happy with my results and went back to eating EVERYTHING. I didn't gain the weight back for a while, but now at only 23 y/o I'm the heaviest I've ever been.

A little background. I'm just out of a relatationship during which I gained about 50lbs, I call it love weight. I decided it's a good time to restart my diet and make it stick this time.

I did tweek the diet a bit to suit me, I follow all of the guideline 6 days a week. Once a week I get to cheat.

It's been 2 weeks and I've lost 11lbs!!!! I was concerned about the cheat day at first but I noticed that I'm still pretty carb conscious even on my cheat day and I don't go too crazy! Other than my cheat day I'm strictly phase 1.

I hope that you guys can motivate me to stick to it this time. I'll be tracking my progress weekly.

I must have named my weight, too, and now I'm bonded with it! It started out as 'love weight', then moved to 'baby weight'. Now, I'm carrying around 'over-40 weight', and it is hanging on for dear life! Welcome to the forum, and thank you for my first laugh of the day!

and thanks for the laugh.

My weight gain was "moving" weight. When we moved from the city to the country, I started to cook like a farm lady every weekend: big roasts, oven potatoes,creamed stuff and apple pie. Of course I wasn't working like a farm lady so it didn't take long to go from 173 to 232. I was in the city during the week with lots of chicken wings, burgers and beer after work.
