Okay, so I might have said, "I hate men - 39 pounds in 3 months!??!" to my coworker, but I was only kidding.

Welcome, and congrats - that's truly awesome!

Okay, Okay.

I admit it.

I work with Matt.

Go ahead....read back, you'll see me knockin' him once in a while for losing twice the weight I have.....but that's okay ;). I think we're both almost to our goal weight, at almost the same time!! (and they ordered from a SBD friendly restaurant since there's more than one of us!)

Oh...and he made sure the first time I told him of this site, he says..."make sure you put the "k" on "chicks"....I guess the other site (w/o the "k") isn't so family friendly :D.

I was in the exam room with the client (who is a wonderful person) went ON and ON about how GOOD LOOKING Matt is. Heh heh heh. Maybe we can get him to post a pic?!?!

Go Matt!!!

(I guess I'll have to make sure if I write anything about my job, huh?!;))

thanks for all the support everyone! if not for twynnB up there, i would have never thought about the diet or heard of this site! thanks!

Well I vote Matt to come to the daily thread! Just warning, sometimes they talk about their bossoms! :D

Matt - Welcome to the forum. I hope our girl talk won't scare you away. It sounds like you're already making AMAZING choice! Keep up the great work and remember we're here to ask questions if you have any.

:lol:So HMA, if he asks a question you'll answer it with a question:lol:

Matt you're doing great! I'm going to tell DH about you! and it really is about building the healthy lifestyle to maintain keep up the good work!

Ah the mystery man, I thought perhaps some of these chicks were losing it in the daily posts, nice to see you do exist and not them just inflating our cabana boy dreams!

Oops, I was told to be nice and not scare you away.

All kidding aside, great job and welcome!

Welcome Matt, my husband does SBD as well. He is a "second-hand" 3FC'er. He gets all his 3FC info from me. He enjoys so many of the recipes here. I think his favorites are Taco Bake and Hot Dog Salad.
My hubby has lost 30+ pounds and is also elated. He talks to the scale frequently and has also had to buy new clothes. He now does "mostly" SBD. He has some meals/days that are phase 1, some phase 2 and occasional treats that are either phase 3 or phase NONE...maybe that would be phase 100??? He is staying between 185-190 with a goal of staying 180-185.
Just wanted to let you know there are other guys doing SBD, it isn't just a chick diet. He also has a co-worker who is male who started SBD due to seeing DH lose weight and is sucessfully losing weight.
Congrats! and Welcome.

Actually skinnydog (Karla) it was a MALE that introduced me to this diet! A few years ago our company's client lost a significant amount of weight, near 100lbs. When I questioned him he told me "southbeach" and the rest is history!

And we all know the Dr. Agston? is male who started this thing!!!!!!!! yup, the males, once again, wanting babes to be "hot, skinny" hhhahaha, jk.

My DH always tells me not to get too thin. He likes curves. I don't think he has any worries about me being too thin. I just want to buy "normal" size clothes!

haha...now i'm the "mystery man" that makes me laugh! The whole wheat sugar free snickerdoodles i just made were sadly unsuccessful. The were really gooey as dough, and rather untasteful as cooked cookies, and now i have a funny aftertaste in my mouth. yuck.
