Hi Sarah and to the Beach and to 3FC. It's nice to see now Beach Beauties jump right in to the Daily. There is also the weekly Phase I Chickies thread where the Phase I folks swap ideas and victories. The stickies in teh FAQ section contain a wealth of information.

Regarding the weight tracker: when you have been here 20 full days and have made 20 posts, you will be able to make your tracker.

Welcome cocowgirl ....I am also fairly new (on my 5th week).....lost 8.5 lbs during phase 1 but have hit a wall .......but come here often for recipes, advice etc........look forward to reading your posts of your successes, struggles etc......

Hi, cocowgirl. I'm fairly recent here, about 6 weeks into the diet. I've lost about 13 pounds since I started SBD (well, 11 of them following the plan; 3 days of not eating due to illness are responsible for the most recent couple of pounds...I really don't recommend losing weight that way!). Six were on phase I.

I'm also in Colorado.

Welcome cocowgirl!
Another newbie. Been here about 3 week. Just started P2. I admire your willpower for not weighing. This is a wonderful place for support and encouragement.

Thank you all!
I look forward to sharing thoughts..recipes..ups and downs as well as friendships with you all...It will make my looooong journey a lot easier..I cant wait to get to know you all...Anyone wants to pm me or even hit me up on ICQ or yahoo msg feel free to...

welcome... this is a great group!

Hello fellow Beach babes! I'm new to the beach and just began my journey today as well. I can't wait to check in after a few days as well to let everyone know how things are going. It looks like this is a good place to get some support staying on track.
hello newbies
I've got a mini goal to lose 5 lbs by labor day for the big 10 yr high school reunion....and a long term goal to lose 20-30 by next summer. My boyfriend and I just went shopping for an engagement ring and I am so excited but don't want to put off getting in shape until the actual proposal happens.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry for not posting a new thread...I couldn't figure that one out yet!

Welcome new chicks! You will love it here, everyone is very supportive and great with questions! This group has been such a huge part of my success on the beach, I have been at goal for over a year and just can't pry myself away from these gals as they are the ones that keep me in check daily! Good luck, look forward to getting to know you all better!

Welcome! The people on this board are awesome, very supportive and full of great advice. If you take the time to go through the previous posts, you will gain alot of knowledge about the south beach diet.
Good luck to you.
