Hi everyone! I am also new and determined to do it this time. I weight 103 kg (around 225 pounds I guess) and my first goal is 90 kg. That would be also a lot, but that was the weight I was in College. So, this time I am reinforcing myself to have realistic goals. But really REALISTIC!

I did start kind of South Beach but I do eat some fruit if I am hungry. And I said to myself - its better to have an apple than a burger. I do try and I am sure I will get better by time but at this moment I do not pay attention to portions of meat or other SB food because I think that for first 10 days its important just to take care of cravings and to feel full. That is must for me at the beginning ...and I do drink a lot of water and unsweetened tea. I must say I feel great, more energized even and dont have temptation to eat popcorn at the movies!

And I ate fish after so long time!

Hi, it's been a while since my last post but i have good news.. i'm down 5 pounds.. i hope to continue.. i would love to lose 15 more but i would be ok with just 10! wish me luck!

Oh- and i'm trying to drink more water. You make a good point, b/c i DO drink alot of diet soda.. i just love it, i think b/c its my "sweet" fix.

Thanks for all the continued support!

I had never done it before and I am just amazed!! I have lost 3 in 3 days and its not water because I was dieting before this.

You will do it in no time! I am glad to hear that you are here again!!

Thanks! Can anyone tell me how you can get one of those tickers? And hot to put it on your profile? Seems like a fun lil gadget ;)

Thanks!
