Here comes another Beacher! I had great success this fall with So. Beach, lost 17 pounds, however, a holiday season with relatives and the stress of business during holidays landed me back where I started. Feeling crappy. I miss that room in my clothes! Tight Levis on the backside feel awful! So, I evaluated my options. I wrote down the number for LA weight loss and came online to do a little research. The pricing sort of got me, I could buy some great clothes for that money, and even not feel guilty buying that great organic produce I love. So I've come to you all. I decided it was the whole idea of being obligated to weigh ins that I thought might do it for me. So, here I am, I will commit to this again. I really believe it was the exercise that helped out this fall. I have an awesome gym in my home (sort of needs to be dusted, if ya know what I mean) but hiking with my dog proved to be a great workout. Hills, throwing the ball, dodging obstacles. So, now that the sun has peeked out, I believe I'll go. Earn my shower as I say. I hope to get to know ya'll and hope we can succeed together. Not everyone understands this process. It'd be great to evolve with other strong women.

Welcome. Well said. I too feel like we're in an experiment together. I'm curious to see how we all do with this. I for one feel like I have to just "let go" of food. See it only as sustenance to keep me alive, get me through another day. I have to eliminate all my favorite foods, so essentially that's what I have to do. Food has become such a problem that I welcome this.
