About a year ago I was 1 pound from my goal and decided that I was going to back off a little because I was a becoming obsessed. Not such a great idea! Now I am unhappy with where I am on the scale and the way my clothes are fitting. I tell myself I know what I need to do (after all I was successful at losing the weight - just not keeping it off) I just need to DO IT! I need a kick in the pants that I just can't seem to give to myself and its not coming from anyone else. In other words - no accountability.

So I'm back and hoping to join a group of cheerleaders. I've noticed that I am more successful myself when I am cheering on others.

I'm looking forward to a great summer hanging out with my son. And while I'm not worried about looking fabulous in my swimsuit - I just don't want to feel like a blob either.

Thanks for listening. I hope everyone has the chance to enjoy this wonderfully sunny day.

Hi, Deb - welcome back!

I know of no other place where hugs and kicks are so freely given and received!

I know exactly where you're coming from. I've been following South Beach since the beginning of the year and have lost 15 pounds. But for the past month or so, I've just been fooling around with it and am extremely frustrated with myself. I haven't gained anything back, but I know I could have lost more weight then I have. So maybe we can cheer each other into getting our act together and sticking to a healthy way of life!

Hi Deb! You've come to the right place! You can do it!!

Thanks for the welcomes. I look forward to all of us sharing our successes!

Hi Deb, I'm V. I know how you feel. We'll smooth out the "blob" with all this support surrounding us. You've done it once and you'll do it again!
