Well here I am again. I did SB back on May 30th of 04. That day I weighed 199. I was on SB faithfully until July 7 04. On July 7th I was 158 and had gone down from a size 22 to 12/14. Due to bad marital issues I got off the diet that day. Now here I am almost 3 yrs later. I weighed 184 on tuesday. That was my original start up day. I have done awesome. Even felt like crap yesterday which if I remember correctly its normal. I was actually going to try and get back on SB back in Oct. I did it two days then quit. I wasnt mentally ready but now I am. I now weigh 181. I have not cheated once! I will accomplish my goal weight of 130. If anyone wants to buddy up I'd be more than happy to have one...Thanks

Welcome back to the beach. It sounds like you are ready for this change again and you are doing great from the get go. You lost a bit quickly the first round on the beach, did you exercise as well as eating on plan?

Yes I exercised ALOT. Plus I had a job where I was on my feet and walking all day. So I also consider that exercise. I still have that job. After my 1st week of phase 1 my energy upped alot and I think that helped me back then. I am ready to have that energy back again. And Im tired of my feet hurting all the time at work and 2 hrs after. I know its my weight. I will succeed this time around. I made it through the blah day without cheating...so I know I can do this.

Hey Robyn! I'll buddy up. I'm starting over again too and really need the support! PM me if you still need a friend to do this with!

Robyn! Looking forward to getting to know you.

Well I have done awesome today even under major stress....Was it okay to eat the items that go in a beef fajita? I did NOT touch any tortilla's...saved them for my boys. I will take anyone who will buddy up with me LOL. The way I see it...we all need to get and give support....it helps alot...well my kids are "starving" so time to go cook.

welcome back! i'm nessa been on the beach a year and have lost about 50 pounds so far...

Hi and to The BEach. Join us on the Phase I Thread and in the Daily chat. There's lots of support here and group buddying!

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome! This is awesome!

Robyn, you can do it!

I am back to SBD after a looong time off of it, so I know how you feel!

Robyn,
You sound just like me! I first started SBD May 1 of 2005, I weighed 186 and went down to 160 by Aug. Then I let myself go and here I am today at 190. I started phase 1 again on May 1. This time I'm going to do much better. I'd love to buddy up with you, too, if you don't mind another.
The first day for me was horrible. Hungry all the time. Second day was still bad, but not terribly. Yesterday was okay and today so far, I've really felt no different than when I was eating regular stuff! I also find myself drinking lots more water, too.

Hey Kristen!!! I am glad you found it! This site is awesome and has great support! We can do this!!!! remember us when we were smaller? Our skinny selves are hidden but they will be rediscovered! Talk to ya soon!

Ohana that is fine with me...one thing I will say that helps me is to come to this site and read some posts and helps to post too. I have done very well....Tonite is gonna be my 1st challenge tho...I am going with my friend Renee this evening to Tennessee Wings and Things...I am eating before I go and I pray they have salads there! Now comes my willpower challenge. I will post either tonite when I get home how I did...if I dont post tonite I will tomorrow....It also seems that exercise has become a chore of mine...I do it daily...yesterday I wasnt in the mood and made my mind up I wouldnt but I ended up walking anyway...LOL guilt took over...Well I gotta go have to walk and then get ready...Good luck and keep me posted!
