Hi all,

I'm new to these boards, and would love a fellow South Beacher to buddy up with. I'm a 24 yo mum to 10 month baby girl Alyx (hence need to lose weight!). Crunch time came when I bought a gorgeous Monsoon dress for Xmas in a size 16 and it wouldn't close at the back.

I own a woolshop in North Lincolnshire, and have already lost 2 stone a few years back, so I know I can do it. It's all crept back on, and plus now I have baby weight. I'd like to lose nearly 2 stone, to get from 11st 12lbs, to 10 stone. However, if I'm happy with my shape before then that brilliant.

My downfall is savouries - love cheese especially. I've picked up the South Beach Diet as it seemed the most approachable. I've done Weight Watchers (lost 6 lb in as many months despite not cheating once) and have tried Slimming World, but gave up as I hated the thought of food 'sins'. Life's too short for food guilt.

I'd love to buddy up with someone else just starting the South Beach Diet, as today was my first day and I'd love to give and receive support.

Hope I didn't bore you all to death!
