Hi everyone!

I am new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Christina, and I'm a 27-year-old grad student in FL (not actually in South Beach, LOL...) I've been married to my best friend for 11 months, no children yet.

My husband and I decided to come to the beach because after our wedding we got caught in a rut of junk food and take-out, and the scales soon showed it. We were feeling sluggish and knew it was time for a change. We liked the flexibility of SBD and were interested in adopting a healthy new way of life.

We started phase 1 on November 26, and still are very happy with it 10 days later. I'm feeling a bit nervous about transitioning into Phase 2, especially with the holidays coming up, but I have confidence that we can do it. If anyone has any helpful tips or motivation, I would definitely appreciate it...

It's nice to be here among such a supportive group of people!

Hi Christina,

I'm new here too, and loving the supportive atmosphere we get here. Here's to us, a great big bunch of losers! (weight losers, in case anyone took offense at that!)

I love people from Florida, especailly on cold days like today. Do you have a spare bed?

Ruthxxx - thanks! We have no spare bed, but we do have a couch, LOL. However, next year we will be up in the frozen tundra of the north. Not sure where, it depends on which law school I get into!

Oberon - nice to meet you! Here's to us losers! Heehee...

kyemom, H-ko, and Marianna - thank you so much for your warm welcome!
