Hi Ladies ( and gents if there are any here! ) - Today I am on Day 1 of Phase 1. I really had to psych myself up, I am really not a "dieter" but the more I read about SB the more I see its a lifestyle and not so much a diet (after phase 1). In all honesty, I dont have too much to lose but I have put on about 8-10 lbs in the last 6 months. Eating A LOT of sugar lately

I am happy to be here, learning from you experienced Beachers. Looking forward to loosing some pounds!!!!!!!!

StarbucksJunkie!

Glad to have you with us. I totally agree with this:

It's a great way to cut the sugar out. And, thankfully, with the yummy SF syrups and fat-free milk at Starbucks, you can continue that habit, too!

Welcome to the forum, StarbucksJunkie! I can completely understand your username and am nothing but thankful that the nearest Starbucks is 2.5+ hours from our house!

I agree with you and Laurie about this being a lifestyle, not a diet. I'm on Day 1 of Phase 1 as well, so we'll be moving along at the same pace. (I do have a lot more than 10 lbs. to lose, though.) Be sure to jump into our daily chat and Phase 1 chat. They're great places to find lots of great tips and motivation!!

For my 4th time around I am on Phase 1 (Day 4) and am doing well. I followed SBD for 3 months successfully moving into Phase 2 for the first time and loved it. Hence why I am back! Good luck and hope to see you posting!

Welcome to South Beach. I had similar stats to yours & SB has been a lifesaver for me. I wish I had found this way of eating a long time ago. Wishing you luck.

to The Beach, StarbucksJunkie! We look forward to getting to know you!

Wow, thank you all for the warm welcome and support! Gearing up for Day 2!

Hey there fellow newbie! I hope day two is going good! So far so good here.
