Hey everyone! I found this site while searching South Beach recipes and decided to give it a shot. I frequent forums on other sites, but never thought about a weight loss forum. However, I love the idea and am about to start the South Beach Diet in the next week. (Just gotta get the old food out of the house, and the new food in.) Does anyone know if I leave the OLD food in the house (rice, pasta, bread, sugars, blahblahb) if I'll be able to stick to my diet? Especially because the boyfriend's Italian and swears he's got pasta running through his veins.

I'm 21, live in Dallas, TX and definitely need to lose some weight. I carry what I've got okay, but I hate the way I look naked. I hate the way I feel. It's starting to emotionally effect my relationship with my boyfriend. We love each other very much and talk about getting engaged one day and having babies and a house and all those great things, but I can barely love myself right now because I'm so unhappy.

So I'm gonna lose weight. And what better place to do it than with people who are doing it too? I need a buddy. I need someone I can email and chat with that can yell at me when I look at fatty foods; who can make me remember the payoff. And I'll do the same.

At the beginning of July, I weight 213ish, and would like to get down to 160lbs by my birthday next year. And ultimately, I'd like to get down to maybe 130-140lbs or so...(my mom is VERY small framed and my brother and dad are very thin and fit...what's wrong with meme!?!?!?!)

Good Luck to everyone and I can't wait to see our progress!


****Does this site have like...a weight lost page? Like, all the weight lost by all the members so we can see what kinda help this site has done? That'd be coooooooollll....****

Hi Katibug! I am also a newbie here and I'm in need of a buddy too. I'm 24 years old and I live in Oak Ridge, TN. I'm also trying to get down to about 160 by my birthday next year (8/25) If you are still looking for a buddy drop me a line!!

Hello Katibug and Ashren. I am Gabrielle. I'm 22 years old and am trying to get down to 145 by the end of next month. But would like to be around 125 one day. Sorry to hear that you are so down Katibug.
Right now I am also watching what I eat (although today I messed up and had a fatty meal at subway). I also exercise when my daughter allows. I do get in something each day. I am really getting into the habit of it all and have just recently lost 2 lbs which is very good for me. I am working real hard so if either of you ever need to talk just let me know.

Hello there katibug!

I totally understand about your feeling about your weight...There are days when It doesnt matter what I put on the fat can not be hidden and I dont even want to see anyone.

I like to check into the site once a day and I like to have someone to talk to often so that I keep on track till things get easier.

Feel free to send me a private message anytime that you need someone to talk to, about weight loss or whatever!

Also you should check into the 20 something club. There are so many nice sweet girls there, and they are wonderful people to talk to get support, tips, and anything else. They have helped me a lot

Tye
