I'm a stay at home mom of three and have been on the diet roller coaster too many times! I seem to fluctuate between 130 and 175 and can't get a grip on a steady weight! I'm an emotional and stress eater, and it doesn't help having kids(snack foods) in the house. I had great success with the South Beach diet(yes, I'm a carb addict too) but can't maintain. I'm looking for friends so we can support and encourage each other, or just have someone to whine to!

Hi
I too am a stay at home mom with two boys at home and the snacks too, and I am ready to get off this ride! how about you? I would like to be that friend that you can talk too and together we can do this!

I don't know too much about South Beach, but I know that if I had to deprive myself of something (carbs), I would want it more. So, why not try something where you get 2 starches a day? I did LA Weight Loss, but then they went bankrupt. But, I still use their eating plan, and at my current weight, I get 2 proteins, 2 starches, 2 dairys, 3 fruits, 3 veggies, 2 protein bars (Luna or otherwise), and 1 Fat each day. The serving sizes are predetermined, and you can use receipes as well as regular foods. That has really worked for me.
