Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself to all of you.

I am a 27-year-old grad student in Florida, and I have been on the South Beach Diet with my husband for 10 days now. I am loving it so far and already enjoying the healthier way of life we are adopting. We spent our first ten months of marriage in a rut of unhealthy take-out and pre-packaged foods. Our excuse was "we don't have time to cook healthy foods", but I realized that we could do better. We chose the SBD because we liked the flexibility, knew people who had done it with long-term success, and were impressed with the variety of foods suggested.

I came across this website yesterday, and it seemed like a wonderful, supportive community. So I signed up today, and I look forward to meeting everyone!

Hi. Welcome. This is a great place to find support. I'm glad your plan is going well for you! How much weight are you looking to lose? I am 39, married with two boys (16Y and 11Y). I haven't yet tried that plan, but I've looked it over a bit. It seems like it might be tough when cooking for the family. . . but you may inspire me.

Best of luck to you!

Oops, I checked your thread again - you're almost to your goal! That's great! Keep going!

Hi, thanks for your welcome! I started out with a goal of 17.5 pounds and I'm 6 pounds along so far. I feel pretty good about the SBD, but it's still early days. Best of luck to you too!
