Hello everyone. My name is Natasha (I know, duh...LOL) and I'm from Georgia. I started the South Beach Diet around mid-April of this year on the advice of my doctor. I have not weighed myself since starting the diet as I believe people have a tendency to get wrapped up in the numbers and let it discourage them. HOWEVER, since going on SB I have had to go up a notch on both my bra strap and my duty belt. I have a curve in my side between my stomach and breasts that I hadn't seen for YEARS (ha ha) and I am VERY pleased w/ the results so far. My mother is also doing the diet w/ me and, although she was resistant at first, she is enjoying it now and also impressed w/ the results she has gotten.

I've been lurking around looking at some of the recipes posted here and thought this might be a good support system for me. Looking at some of you guys' pictures has been inspiring. Great job, folks!!!

I'm not sure how personal you guys get on here, so I'm not gonna post anything else about myself unless you guys ask.

welcome! and good luck on your journey......

Oops...just read over the acronyms and saw that I used the wrong one in my thread title. Leave it to the n00b.

Thanks, Matilda.

Hey Natasha! I totally feel you. When I started my new lifestyle, I was doing a semester in Europe and I let my clothes and endurance be my scale for a while, until I felt "ready" to weigh-in!

Just post around a bit and you'll feel right at home congratulations on your new beginning and welcome!

Great job!

Keep us updated on your progress with SB!
