Hi! I am Tori and I was referred to this site from a poster on American Baby Preconception board. I need to lose the 70 pounds I gained while on bcps. I have been off of the bcp for 3 years, and have maintained my weight, but it is time to lose the extra fat!! I am thinking of trying the South Beach Diet because I am a total sugar addict. I gave up carbonated beverages since Jan 1 ! I also want to work out on my elliptical trainer, do pilates, and handweight training.

I have never lost weight before and I am lost on how to motivate myself to stick to a diet and exercise program, and what would work for me! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any one need a weight loss buddy?

lilybelle- Thanks for the warm welcome! Congrats on your weight loss! How did you do it?

If you dont mind me asking, what part of Oklahoma are you from? I live in the Tulsa area now, but moved here from the Shawnee area about a year and a half ago.
