new on the beach

  • hello everyone!!
    wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. i am new to 3fc just joined today but i have been shamelessly lurking around since november 2003. when i finally got up the nerve to tell myself i don't want to live like this anymore. i have read about so many diet plans over the last few months my head is spinning! but i keep coming back to the south beach diet plan so again i got up my nerve and went to the store and bought the book today. i will be starting the plan tomorrow and looking forward to the new me!!
    i started in november 2003 at 271lbs . a friend from work and i both started watching fat and sugar etc and it has helped i am at 255 today. looking forward to getting a lot of support and hopefully meeting a few friends along the way.

  • Hi Jodi,
    I have recently started SBD and just finished by first two weeks.
    Really easy to follow plus, I have felt great during the whole time.

    Good Luck!

    P.S. I just registered on 3FC yesterday - looks like a wonderful site.
  • Hey jojams welcome to you as well! Hope you enjoy your stay on the beach!
  • Welcome jodi, and congrats on your weight loss thus far.
  • Hi Jodi! that is great to have lost so much already, watching fat and sugar. Really that is a summary of SBD I would say, although it is nice to have more structure to fall back on too. Looking forward to getting to know you.
  • thanks for the great welcome!!!
