Talking Hello, all! New here!
I've just joined, and am very motivated to get started! My husband and I are losing weight together (we gained much of it after getting married ). So far, we've been portioning, exchanging food for their healthier counterparts, and have lost 3 lbs each in the past 3 weeks. Now I definitely want to step things up, and hope to do it with 3FC's help!

My current weight: 232 / DH's current weight: 317

Because DH is diabetic, I'm considering doing South Beach or another Low Carb... but am still researching and trying to figure out the best options for us. I'm glad to be here!

I'd highly recommend Sugar Busters for you and your husband, especially because he is diabetic. It works by choosing foods that have lower sugars in them. You stay away from white processed breads,pastries,sugar laced foods, even regular potatoes and replace them with high fiber, cracked wheat breads, sweet potatoes, lean meats fruits and veggies. You can use olive oil and butter to cook your food. I have been on it since December 31,2007 and have gone from 216 to 189. Good luck to you both!

Wow, thanks for all the warm welcomes! Reading them is a great way to start my Monday morning.

jillnicole, I agree- what I LOVE about this so far is the "real people" factor!

SusanB - ooh, thanks for the direct links! Very helpful.

chris313 - Sugar Busters sounds great. Should I go get the book already?
