I'm a Scorpio, live in Virginia, Single, no children, but have two wonderful dogs. Louie (chocolate labe) 13 1/2 yrs old and Stu (welsh gorgi) 8 1/2 yrs ol. I started with WW awhile back and was losing weight at a very slow snail pace but managing (lol starving sometimes). Then had stomach/colon issues, long story short found out that I have Diverticulitous (diver). Some where between all this a friend mentioned South Beach, I looked it over and it seems to be exactly the type of foods I need to eat for the diver diease. So, I thought what the heck....give it whirl and today is 12th day into it and I have lost 20lbs. I'm very shocked and keep thinking the scale is wrong. But it keeps moving down, I'm always full, and some of my clothes are starting to fit better. Hope to find some friends and great recipes on here!
Welcome and congrats on your weight loss so far! love it when the scale goes down and I am surprised but I hate it when the thing goes up and I think it needs to go down.
Thanks for all the welcome aboard comments. It's nice to feel the love from everyone! BP2loselbs thanks for the advice on what to watch out for ..medically speaking. I need to find a picutre for me but don't know how to do that yet. LOL
