I looked around yesterday at different diet programs, spoke to some friends who have tried a few different diets (and they both liked this one) Got the SBD book last night and am starting today. Wish me luck, I have a ways to go. If anyone else has started recently and wants to Buddy Up, let me know. I could use some email encouragement as well.

Welcome, everyone on here will provide you support...Pull up a towel, and put on your sunscreen...make sure you read the sticky threads!!

Hi Lisa! Welcome to the Beach!!

Welcome!

I am! I am! I just started today and so far it's going ok. I just need to drink more water....

Join us on the August 1 Start Thread. I certainly need to drink more water too - especially when it's this hot!

Hi! My name is Dana! I started on Tuesday. The first day went great. Today I had some craving issues. I have learned that I need to up the legumes. So, I will try to use that to my advantage. Also, I have a major headache.

I am on the diet because I am overweight and have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I thought this might help. I am a junk food junkie. Fast food, candy and soft drinks!!!
