Hello, new to SB and excited!

  • Hello everyone. I stumbled upon this forum last week and am sooo grateful for it. I'm only 26 but I've been "dieting" since I was 11 so I've pretty much tried it all but have never been able to stick to anything. I absolutely love the foods that I'm able to eat with SB and have found that I can cook a lot of the same foods and just modify some ingredients. I have about 80lbs to lose but my goal is 50 for now. I think it's great that there are forums to get advice, support, and just be able to talk to other people in the same boat as I am. I started on Monday and have followed almost perfectly so far (I have a hard time with the 2 TBSP fat, how am I supposed to cook AND eat a salad?). I have also started going back to the gym. I was doubtful of the claim that I could lose 8-12lbs in 2 weeks, but guess what? It's day 3 and I'm down 3 lbs! I'm more motivated than ever now.

    Sorry if this is a long intro but I am just so ready to lose all of this weight that I'm giddy from the thought of it. Thanks for reading!
