Hello, I'm Cindy in California and I just turned 42 yesterday. YIKES!
I'm not sure how I ended up browsing this site & forum, but thank God for goggle.lol.
Actually I was looking up information on South Beach Diet to see if it was for me and came across the link for 3fatchicks-the name intrigued me to say the least . I was doing atkins a few years back and lost about 30 lbs. But I couldn't stay with it. My Dad and brothers are Atkins converts and have been living it for about 2 years-they've lost tons and have kept it off. Dh and I tried it for about 6 months and still off and on, but I find we are off most of the time
Well I think maybe South Beach might be more for us, so that is what I am leaning towards! I look forward to posting here and working towards my wieght loss goal and a healthier life style. See you on the boards!

Welcome!!!

Thanks!!

Welcome to the Beach! This is truly a healthy lifestyle.

to The Beach. You are wise to tackle the weight now rather than waiting. It sure gets harder to lose as you get older. Just ask me!

Hi Cindy, WELCOME!
I did Atkins way back when it was new...I don't know how I did it at the time but I sure couldn't live like that now. I weaned myself off white flour products years ago and since have always eaten whole grain breads and pastas (unless a situation arises where I don't have another option or don't have a choice) so when 'the beach' came along I knew it was the program for me. I make my own whole grain breads and it's great to have those on a regular basis and be able to enjoy them.

Best of luck on your weight loss journey to better health!

Cindy! Aboard!

Hi Cindy.
and welcome to the beach

Cindy-
Hi and welcome. I did Atkins a couple years ago and GAINED weight, so I'm a firm converter AWAY from it, LOL. But I've lost 4 lbs in the first week of Phase One so this is working better for me

Cindy ~ Welcome to 3FC and the beach! My dad is also an Atkins convert, and he inspired me to start the beach in November '05. It truly is a healthy lifestyle and I feel wonderful! Good luck to you and you're going to love it here on 3FC!

Welcome to the Beach Cindy. Good Luck!!
