HI everyone! My name is Lisa and I live in Texas. I'm 33 and I weigh 205 lbs. at the moment. I just started doing the South Beach diet a week ago and I'd like to find a buddy to lend support and encouragement and I'll do the same. I'd like to get down to at least 140 lbs. I exercise quite often normally but my problem is the eating! I love to eat very bad foods! If anyone is interested, please let me know! And keep up the good work everyone!

Hi Lisa!

Welcome to 3fc!! Have you checked out our South Beach Forum? There are a lot of great people there who can give you support and you can also find a TON of great South Beach recipes as well!

One thing I do when I think I feel hungry is I stop and I ask myself, "am I eating because I'm hungry or because I'm bored?" A lot of people will eat because they are bored and eating gives them a sense of fufillment. Also another little trick I use is to have a 6oz cup of hot tea with a little splenda or sweet and low in it and it curbs my appetite, as well as a cold refreshing glass of water!

Hang in there!! Oh yeah also stop by the exercise forum sometime and I'm sure you can find some people to buddy up with and challenge eachother

Again Welcome to 3FC!
Michelle
