Hey there - DH and I started the Beach yesterday (after having the book for almost a year and trying to "do our own thing" off and on.) I decided I need to be told what to do - because if I make up my own diet, I tend to change the rules on myself!!!

Dh and I lost over 50 lbs on Six Week Body Makeover (similar to Beach Phase 2, but lower in fat, no wheat sugar or sodium!) I just get motivated to get back on it - more restrictive etc. When DH didnt go to church yesterday because his pants were too tight - we decided to get serious. (So today is our first full day - did mostly good yesterday!)

Good to be here and hope to get to y'all!

Hey Christie -- I love your name, "Hottie In Hiding". My hubby and I strted yesterday, too. I just finished lunch and I'm dying for something sweet. But I am determined not to cheat. Excellent job on the previous diet, and good luck on this one. Keep posting!

Welcome to the Beach, Christy! We can always use another Texan.

Welcome, Christy! Love the story about your husband...sounds like something I would do!

Welcome Christy. Have a great time at the beach with the rest of us.

Deb - Don't deprive yourself of sweet tasting things...make sure to have sf jello, or ricotta cheese (with sweetner) - something to tell yourself that you have indulged that need for something sweet. Hopefully that will work instead of having the real sugar.

Welcome aboard chickies! Look forward to gettin to know y'all in the daily.

Welcome aboard!
