Hello everybody!!

I use this site alot for dessert recipe ideas and decided to join today! This is my 3rd time of doing the southbeach diet. This time my aim is to loose a stone by march for my sisters wedding! Im on my 3rd week, i tried to go onto phase 2 this week but didnt like it. Didnt feel in control and felt i was putting on weight, so have decided to carry on with phase 1.

Did anyone else have probs with phase2? Hope i carry on loosing on phase 1! Any hints would be much appreciated!

Hi Welcome to 3FC! We have a great South beach Forum here, so you may want to check it out and ask those ladies your questions, I'm sure they can help you.

Good luck with your weight loss journey!

Thank you! I had a look on the southbeach one before, so helpful, wish id joined sooner!

Hi Lusty!
Many of us are repeat dieters too, third time's the charm, right?! - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the South Beach forum and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. There's a fabulous group in the UK Chicks forum, check them out.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
