Hi everyone,
Just started the SBD today. I have a real problem with flour and sugar so I'm hoping to break the habit with this program. Here's a little bit about myself: I'm 44 with about 60 pounds to lose. I've tried just about every diet on the market. I lost 35 pounds on WW in 1997 until they changed it to those awful points. Just can't seem to eat right knowing that I have so many points. That's just me I've seen it work for a lot of people. I'm really fed up with programs so I'm going to give this one 100% and hopefully it will work for me. Glad to have found this board. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the board! I'm new here too but you'll find tons of support and great friends to get you on your way to loosing.

There's a daily thread where everyone hangs out, and checks in on a daily basis.

Glad you're here!

Welcome, and come on over to the daily threads.

I'm new too, but it's easy to see how many great people are here. The best thing is that everyone is learning together, and the site seems to be growing daily.
Just wanted to say hi, and good luck!

Welcome, BsMom. We need some UK folks here on the Beach to keep those wild American chicks in line. You will love it here.

Welcome "Last"! I noticed you ended your message with "Thanks for listening". What a nice feeling to know that when things get tough, and sometimes they do, that there is always someone here to "listen". We all uderstand what the others are going through and the support is so very important. It's here day or night--the lamp is always lit! Use it. Best of luck as you start the program.
Cindy

Last time- WELCOME!!!

BS MOM-Welcome to you as well!!! Don't listen to Ruth, she is the worst of the lot, and not anywhere NEAR as demure as I am.

hello everyone!

I am not new to 3fc or to these forums, but I am new to South Beach. I am currently in phase one and day 2, and it seems to be going well. Although i weigh in on Thursdays, and then I will know for sure if this works for me.

i too have been doing WW and feel really burdened by all the dang counting! Math has never been one of my strong points. Anyway, I lost 20 pounds and then came to a standstill. So after my vacation, I bought the book and began the diet.

Looking for some good support buddies!

Thanks, Renee aka healthyeater aka loosingme
