Hi everyone. Today is my first day on the South Beach Diet. I read the book and I feel that this diet will work for me and won't be too difficult to stick with.

About me; I'm 26 years old and was born and raised in Sunny CA. I've always been overweight but I feel it's time to get healthy and hopefully down into single digit clothing sizes.

I'm using my friend as a guide for my weight. She's my build and currently weighs about 130 lbs. I'd love it if I can get down to that so I've set that as my goal weight. I'm not in a race so I know that if I take my time and am consistant with my exercise, I can meet my goal.

I love to make friends so don't hesitate to talk to me We can talk about anything and everything.

Hey there!

We have a wonderful South Beach forum here, so head on over there and check it out. We also have a forum for 20-somethings where you'd fit in, so check that out as well.

Sounds like you have a good plan in place - now it's just about sticking with it! 3FC is great for support in that.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Hi btvsaddict! Sounds like you have a plan and are off to a good start!

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, inspired and entertained!

There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots 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 a short time myself, 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 cheating or giving up.


So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

Welcome!! I am new too, and curious what you think of the SB diet!!

Good luck!

Hi. I'm only new too. I joined this week and I'm sure you'll find plenty of support and motivation here. I know I have in just the few days since I joined.
