Hi there! My name is Caryn and I'm 36. I'm married and have 3 kids (9, 6 and 2) and do freelance work from home. I started SBD in January and lost 15 pounds but got off track and started gaining weight back. I'm restarting Phase 1 today and am ready to send those sugar cravings back where they belong! This site is very informative and I'm really excited to have found such a great online community!

to The Beach and to 3FC! There's lots of support and information in this Forum. Do you have the book? Be sure to check out the stickies in the FAQ Section and join the Phase I Chat thread. Of course, we love it when new folks join in the daily chat thread too.
Just holler if you have questions.

Carynm!

Welcome to the Beach.

Welcome! I just started today as well.

Good luck on your journey!

Carynm!

on your loss of weight and gain of health since January...I, too, am starting P1 again this week after a off plan day on Sunday. Hope you get as much out of it as I do. I find that P1 really helps me realize how good I can feel on this plan, and helps me see again how great P2 is!

Do check in on the daily, but since you're doing P1 this week, you might find the P1 thread helpful right now, too!

Caryn I'm new to 3fc too but we seem to have some stuff in common. I lost weight on SBD to and backslid, though it was almost 4 years ago. I am also a mom my kids are almost 9 and almost 2 (wish there was one inbetween, then I'd be almost done!) and I WISH I worked freelance from my house feel free to hit me up if you wanna chat!

Hi t,

It's always nice to find people in similar situations! I'm on day 3 now and although I found the first two days fairly easy I've had A LOT of cravings today. I'm sticking with the plan, though, because I know they will pass. I hope everything's going well for you today!
