    Hello, everyone. I guess since I've already taken Clovey's 5lb. Challenge, I should introduce myself. I've been looking at the board for awhile for inspiration and tips and have found plenty of both here. I've been on SBD for almost 8 weeks and have lost 34 lbs., but I've got a lot more to lose. I'm so glad to be joining you! Jo

    Well, Ruth, I wouldn't call my twin that to her face, but she has been known to spend money on outrageous things if she wants them. Jo

    Hi Pennywise

    Do you mind sharing your daily food intakes and exercise. I am on a sort Phase 1.5 and haven't lost anywhere near that amount. What are u doing to achieve this?

    Hi Chick, No, I don't mind, but check out my stats and you'll see that I am tall and very heavy, and I think that has influenced the weight loss. I am on a Phase 1.5 too. I stick pretty closely to the Phase 1 foods, but I have added a little fruit a few times a week and some whole grain bread. Oh, and a glass of wine when I feel like it.
    I stick to fish or chicken(maybe 4 to 6 oz.), lean beef maybe once a week and always loads of vegetables and salads. I do eat beans a lot, on salads, in soup. Lots of water which was a big change for me.

    As to exercise, I'm arthritic and have fibromialgia which limits my movement to a degree, so I cautiously use the treadmill. I'm trying to work up to 30 min. a day.

    I hope all this helps. Let me know if you want more info. Good luck, Jo
