My name is Chloe and this is my first time on the beach. I've been lurking for a while and trying to read as much as I could before I started, and here I am!! I started SBD this morning, so I'm really really new. I've had the book for about 6 months though... (I'm a procrastinator), but I went out yesterday and got all sorts of healthy food and donated any unhealthy stuff to the food shelter. So I am ready. I think this forum will be a great resource to help me stay on track.

to The Beach! It sounds like you are ready to roll!

I hope you don't mind if I change this thread title to one showing Phase I starts. Then there'll be other folks popping onto this beach buggy!

What a darling doggie!

No problem at all. It's a great idea. Isn't he a beauty? Can you belive someone left that cutie at the pound? He's either a big sheltie or a sheltie collie mix.

Hi Chloe-

I am also starting the beach this week. I have done Atkins before and "played" around with South Beach, but never truly followed it. So lets do this! I want this weight off by summer so I need to be strict and stay with it. It will be hard with Christmas but it is always something I am finding out.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi Chloe and

I have been on the beach for just over two weeks now, and it's been great so far! Best of luck to you!

Your doggie is adorable!

Hi Malpay!!
I'm so glad that someone is starting the same week I am. Lets do this. I'm halfway into day two and no cheating or cravings....Let's hope it stays that way.

I've been doing SBD since end of May, And this is the best place to get advice and just the overall motivation. I'm sure you'll do great!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the beach...you will love this WOE and you will love this site!!!

It is so nice to see all of the support that is out there! So far so good! I am going to have to check out more SBD topics!

I hope you are doing well Chloe!
