Just wanted to say a quick "hello" and introduce myself. My name is Vicki and I'm on day 3 of my first time on SBD. It has been harder than I expected but I really want to lose around 35 pounds so I am sticking with it.

Looking forward to the information and support available on this site.

Hi Vicki. My name is Katie. I am new myself. Nice to meet you!

Vicki and Katie! We're happy to have you joining us on The Beach.

Phase 1 is the strictest part of this eating plan, but it's only for 14 days, and you will be amazed at how it will squelch your cravings. Phase 1 is the detox period to prepare you for Phase 2, which you can follow as long as you like.

To help you get through Phase 1 easily, it's a good idea to plan your menus in advance, and be sure to include dairy and legumes every day, along with at least 4 1/2 cups of vegetables. The beans and dairy will help keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Good luck, and we look forward to getting to know you and sharing your weight loss journey.

to you both!
