I'm new to SBD. I have been following the diet since April 30 and have already lost 5 lbs. I originally spent 5 months on Atkins and was doing well, but my cholesterol shot up to unhealthy levels. No amount of exercise or supplements helped. So here I am, with South Beach and so far am loving it!

Hi Slmjm! Welcome to the Beach!
Congratulations on your loss to date.

Nice to meet you slmjm!

Glad to have you on the Beach! Isn't the lowered cholesterol a great benefit???

Welcome to the beach slmjm Great to have you!!

Michelle

welcome, welcome!!!

Thank you for the welcomes! Natter: I'm looking forward to a lower cholesterol, but it'll be at least 6 weeks before I retest.

Welcome Slmjm!! And good luck on The Beach. I also tried Atkins first but just felt way too unhealthy sitting down to a dinner of pepperoni and cheese or a bowl full of meatballs!
