Hello all, I found this site by accident on 2/15 while sufing for South
Beach recipes. This is a great site and love all the interesting recipes here.
I just wanted to say hi and hope I can get some help here along the way.
I'm 59 and need to get back in shape for my health. Also to keep up with the grandkids.

I started SB on 1/29/06 and really find it easy to follow--not really hungrey or occupied with food all the time like other plans I have tried. I am new here also and just learning how to use the site but this board seems to be a great place to be--lots of friendly people with helpful ideas. I am also 59 and have gained a "ton" of weight since my hubby and I retired to Florida (Tampa)--so here I am--been doing good so far but will be here for quite a while since I am now 176 (started at 183) with goals of 155 then on to 135 (hopefully). Monday is my weigh-in day and been OP all week so I have my fingers crossed.

see you around the board.

Nice meeting you pinkeagle. I know what you mean by piling on the weight. I will be here for sometime also, but like you I have found SB easy to follow. I am divorced for over 16yrs. now. I have been dating a very nice man for 6yrs now and it is nice. He is very supportive and that is helping with this diet.
Hope we can chat and lose together.

Barb. This is certainly a great plan! It works and it's sensible and healthy.
By the way, I used to be 59 but I got over it!

Welcome to the Beach, Barb. I'm the "other" Barb here but we can always use another. The recipes are wonderful. I love to cook and the food is go great!
