Hey all Beach Chicks!
I’m a 27 year old, living alone in chilly Canada. I had a VERY successful run on SBD 3 years ago (50 lbs lost at the best point, within approximately 8 months). I was amazingly lucky to generally maintain that weight loss for 2+ years without sticking OP, mostly because my lifestyle was SO completely OFF-plan before the introduction of SBD.
Now, I’ve re-gained around half of the lost weight, which has frightened me back into the SB lifestyle. I’m not looking for 100% Dr. A perfection, but just the re-introduction of a healthier lifestyle. I mainly lurked here during my first run, but this time I think I will benefit greatly from the accountability that can be gained from these forums!
I think my main challenges this time around will be 1) alcohol consumption (although I have become very talented at making diet/low sugar mixes!), and 2) the fact that I am living alone, working full time, and generally just have no one in the household to help with my accountability! Which is where the forum comes in…
I gained a great understanding of the fundamentals from reading Dr. A’s books 3 years ago, and although I don’t have the “Supercharged” version, the remainder of my information I have already picked up from these forums. My intention is to restart the Plan on Monday in P1, and see how it goes. I would love to be able to perform the full-on detox period, but if I can nix these cravings before those 2 weeks, I’d be more than happy to be back into a strict P2 lifestyle again! I would love to see a loss of 20-30lbs before Summer really lands on us again!
Looking forward to getting to know the Fat Chicks on the Beach.
Cheers!
