OMG!!! I have been staying away from weighing myself b/c I think that people tend to get wrapped up in the numbers and get discouraged while dieting. But today I had my follow up appointment w/ my doctor and they had to weigh me. I was SO worried the scale wouldn't show what I knew my waistline had been showing...but I was worried for nothing.

45 POUNDS!!! My doctor was so impressed that he actually said I have inspired him to try Southbeach again!!! 16 more pounds and he's going to lower my blood pressure meds. His goal for my BP was 140/90...today my BP was 122/70!!!

I am so frigging happy right now I can't stand myself. Thursday is my birthday and I am SO not even caring about not eating birthday cake this year. Whoooooo frigging hoooooooooooooooo!!!

Wow!!! That is so amazing! Congratulations to you! How long have you been on South Beach? Is the 45 lbs. just from South Beach?

Congratulations!!!

45 pounds is amazing, keep up the great work.
Oh, and happy early birthday!

wow congrats!.. thats amazing xx

Congratulations!

Keep up the terrific work!

Thanks everybody!!!

I've been on South Beach since mid-April...so just a little over 2 months. I had actually already lost 13 pounds before, so we're looking at 32 from SB alone.

Thanks!!!

Seriously, this website has been a great inspiration for me. Looking at all the photos and the transformations...and hearing some of you say "If I can do it, anybody can!" has been a big help for me. I feel so much better about myself and I can't wait to keep going and keep losing. When I reach my goal weight my present to myself will be a 2 week trip to NYC where I can walk all I want w/o my feet killing me!!!

Congratulations!! Wow, your rate of weight loss is fantastic!

Congratulations! I'm reinspired every time I hear another success story! Keep on truckin'! Nice to meet you.

Congratulations, Natasha! You are doing terrific and we're all so proud of you! Keep up the good work, and have a SBD peanutbutter cup dessert for birthday treat. It's better than cake any old day!

Good for you!!!!!

Way to go! That's just awesome!!!

Great work!! I know your doctor was very impressed! Keep up the great work!

AMAZING!!! Congratulations for you!! (Show your doc how awesome south beach is )

Wow, just, wow.

Natasha, that is just super awesome news...and the BEST part is finding out in the doctor's office...proof that SB can help so much with health!!!
Before you know it, you'll be strolling down 5th Avenue!!!!
