I'm new. Hi everyone.
 

Hi everyone,

My name is Allison, and I'm here looking for support. I bear the shame of losing 80 pounds and getting lazy and letting it all creep up on me. I lost on Atkins and have repeatedly tried to rejoin because I had such good success. I also felt good, to. But Atkins, as wonderful as it is, was simply not for me.

I have decided to take on this new goal with the South Beach plan. So cheer for me, and I'll cheer for you. :carrot: I'm glad to be aboard.

Hi Allison and welcome! Okay... I will start the cheering! :woo:

Hi there! Consider me for one of your cheerleaders!!!! I know you can have success with the support available here!! I see you are a future belly dancer, does this mean you are trying it? I have all of Neena and Veena's tapes, I love to do the bellydance exercises they have!!! I know I look like a fool, but, it IS in the privacy of my own house, so, only my son, the dogs and cats are there to watch me. They are so fun!!! I would like to be a bellydancer too!! It makes me feel sensual and sexy!!! Hee hee!! Someday, I too, will look sensual and sexy to someone else!!! Good for you to find your way here!!! Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Hi Allycat

Welcome to the board, nice to have you here.

You will love it here, and become an instant addict like me! :o

Atkins was not for me either, I'm not a huge meat eater, and I really missed not eating a lot of foods.

Keep us up to date on how it's going with south beach diet! You can do it!

Welcome!
 

Hey , I'm new here too ! I just made up my mind to shed the weight i've been carrying and I already feel like I've taken a big step . Found this site by accident and has boosted my enthusiasm. With so many people losing weight, it's not such a tough game afterall :)

I love Meena and Veena. I adore belly dancing and was getting pretty good at before laziness set in. It's my goal to dance, so.. I have Meena and Veena videos. Not all, just some, and I really, really recommend those tapes/DVD to anyone looking for a fun work out. You can even go all out and a get a jingly hip-scarf from eBay for like a dollar + shipping. I have had a hip replacement and can do these videos, so any joint-healthy person can do them to :belly:

I haven't truly started my plan yet. I can't just throw away all the "bad" food in my house. So, when it is time to go shopping once more, I am going to start which will be next week sometime. In the mean time, I am making a list of what I can eat and working out menu plans so I can make this as stress free as possible, seeing as how stress tends to be my major downfall for binging. I also bought two hip scarves with coins and jinglies and my fiance promised that when I was done and felt good about me again that I could buy a real costume.. (those dresses are expensive..) :carrot:

Best wishes everyone,

Thank you for your cheers,

Rock on fat chicks!

Ally
