i weigh 360 and really really need to lose weight. i'm on my 2nd week of the south beach phase one and i'm really happy. i've lost 5 pounds and would like to lose around 100 lbs to begin with. i've always been large all through school. now i have time to devote to thinking about it and i want to lose weight 1. for my health and 2. to satisfy my high craving for fashion. i have this style in me dying to get out but with lack of clothes choices i have to work with what i have. i finally feel with south beach that i can stick to it. i don' twant to fall into the typical statistics about dieters. i want to have my story in a magazine about how i did it.

kinda want someone close to my age to talk and who is losing much weight like i am.

thank you so much ! i don't want to live the rest of my life as a large woman. i feel i still have enough "youth" left in me to enjoy it and then continue to be a 'thinner' older woman! its almost impossible to imagine me thin. but i don't know who said it but i saw a quote somewhere

"nothing tastes as good as thin feels"

and i love that. because food is just food. i'm not too much about overeating but more about wrong foods. i'm finding the south beach is the best thing to lower my slowly inching higher blood sugar level. i do not want diabetes. and i know following this diet will cause me to lose weight. and my husband as well. he's about 260 but needs to be 220 or so for his body. he's still a big guy. we're just trying our hardest to remember how good we'll feel once we get to our goal!!

Hey there! I'm 28, and I have 3 kids.... I'm brand new here and found the link of all places on a cake decorating forum! LOL! I have lost about 9 lbs. over the last 3 weeks and know it is very hard in the beginning. I have encountered things already that normally would have thrown me WAY off track, but I've stuck with it anyway and it's been completely worth it! You can do it! Definitely!
