Introducing myself....
 

Hi! Glad to have found this board. This is actually my 4th go around with South Beach. Phase 1 is always easy for me and I actually like it but I always fall off the wagon on phase 2. I think partly because I need to avoid bread/wheat and partly because I never looked at it as a lifestyle change. I'd always hear people say that and I'd think, yeah right. Well my attitude is changing and I am looking at this more as a lifestyle change now. I didn't even get on the scale every day like I did before and one day when I did get on and I was up, I wasn't even too worried about it because I liked the way I felt. So I'm hopeful right now and feeling good. Just hope I don't fall off the wagon again!

Looking forward to meeting some of you and supporting one another on what I consider to be a lifelong battle.

Current weight is about 185--looking to get to around 160

Welcome!! I'm brand new here too.

Welcome guys! I've been on SB for over 2 years now and still loving it. It is most definitely a WOE that you can stay on for life.

:welcome2: 3kidsmom. This is my third and LAST time on SB. I got to my goal weight both times previously but gained weight back - clearly PH3 is my downfall. This time I plan for it to be my forever WOL, not just a diet.

Glad to hear that you are hopeful and feeling good. My advice if you feel like falling off the wagon is imminent, come here and check in and get support:)

:welcome2: It's great to meet you.

Welcome! I've only been around here a short time, but it's a great place and I know you'll love it here!

Hi! I'm new here too! Good luck on your journey, look forward to seeing "our" results! :)
