    Hi! My name is Charlotte and I'm a 22 year old student from the Netherlands.
    I have read a few posts on this website and I was very motivated by the great job everyone is doing! I thought I'd give the SB-diet because of what I saw a try and.... I have lost 9 pounds already on this diet and I'm very excited about that! So thanks for that motivation I want to lose about 113 pounds and I'm confident that this time I will succeed! I used to be 256 lbs and now I'm 247 lbs. It's not much, but it's something! I hope you all have a great day!

    Greetings,
    Charlotte

    Hi Charlotte

    Yay ! Another European !! We'll be taking over the board soon

    Welcome to the Beach. Its a great WOE, may I say the best, and I've tried them all. If you have any problem with any food or cooking ingredients, please feel free to PM me. It can be quite difficult in Europe to get all the foods mentioned in the recipes here and in the book, but I may be able to help if you need alternative suggestions.

    Good Luck!

    hi :)
    Wow, I didn't expect so many replies! I bought a book here in the Netherlands about the diet. It's not a very popular diet in the Netherlands, though I'm telling everyone about it here, so soon they will know! Thanks for the warm welcomes! Keep up the good work!
