Default Hello ~ I'm back... after a long time. <3
Greetings from a long over due absentee... Been a long time since I have been here... But I managed to find my way back to 3fc... My name is Kitty & I was here quite a few years ago... Lost 60 lbs on SBD... then managed to gain it back & then some...

I have recently moved back to the eastern US, after volunteering/living in India for 16 years.. The stress of re-adjusting to the west has not been easy for me... but I'm coping... I'm close to my all time heaviest weight which is a depressing slap in my face... My energy is sluggish & I generally feel like crap. I'm 43 & know this is it.. I MUST get healthy & stick to it.. The older I get the harder it will be...

I have dabbled following WW food plan, but counting points is beyond me at this point. A friend last week reminded me of how well I did following SBD back in 2006/07... & It was like a light bulb went off. I know I can do this.. So here I am!

I'm starting phase 1 on Monday (My roomate will be gone 8-9 days so I can focus on getting into "the groove" without distractions.)

One thing different this time around (besides being in the US... & having canned beans available)... is I have recently had to give up ALL dairy. I can't digest/process it. Anyone else here following SB without dairy? I'd be interested in any advice.

I recognize a fair number of folks here from way back when & see many new folks here as well. I look forward to reconnecting & getting to know the newer faces.

kitty

Welcome back Kitty I just turned 50 and I definitely find that the closer I stick to South Beach principles the better I feel, not just weight but inflammation, moods and the ever popular "power surges".

I don't drink milk but am kind of a cheese addict, so not much help with the dairy. I know there have been some dairy free Chicks around though and there are some tips floating around here.

Hope you will join us in the Daily

back! Can't help you on the dairy thing other than to offer different sources - my DW is lactose intolerant and we only use Almond milk now. There are great options out there now.

Post often.

BACK, Kitty! I remember you also.

I have no problem with dairy products, but there are so many substitutes readily available that I don't think you'll have any problems following this plan.

Welcome back! I do SBD without dairy, with the exception of yogurt.

Best wishes!

Thanks all for the warm welcome~ I remember leaning sooo much on cheese & yogurt to get me through SBD last time... Oh well. Just need to be more creative I guess.
I'll post in the daily more on my thoughts/querys of the dairy free SBD.

Hi, Kitty! I like your quote. Our battle is mental and emotional and physical. I've always been overweight and until just recently, I always thought that I would always be overweight. It is a revelation for me to think that that does not have to be the case. Good luck to us both in making smart choices today!

Nice to meet you. I've done WW before too and so can't get into the point thing anymore.
