Welcome, Patty! Even if you don't find someone who is starting tomorrow, you will find tons of great advice and support here at 3FC! We're a very friendly bunch, so if you have any questions, fire away!
Glad to meet you. Welcome to SBD !! We are the
most friendly group you will find. We'll be here to talk with
you when you need us.
I just completed my 2 weeks of Phase 1, and am very
gradually going to move into Phase 2 tomorrow. If I don't
like the results on the scales, I can always return to Phase 1.
Hi Patty,
I plan on restarting Phase 1 tomorrow. I did SBD in July, lost 10 pounds, slipped up at my daughter's birthday and just have not been able to dedicate myself to this WOE since. Good news is I have been able to keep off the 10, I just now need to lose the other 35 that seems to think it found a permanet home around my middle. I have a gift certificate for a massage waitting for me when I complete the 2 weeks of phase 1.
Welcome, Patty, and good luck to you! I just finished my first two weeks. I've been raving about SBD to everyone! Just to share from my experience...day 3 was the hardest, and drink a lot of water. I've never been a big water drinker, but it really helped me pull through. I drink more now than I did when I was pregnant!
I don't have the book yet, but if you could help me with the menu planning, I 'd be thrilled to start with you!!! I feel like I'm in limbo not having all the info yet, but I can't wait to get started and these chickies appear to be the most amazing support group I have ever imagined!!!
Robin - I just got the book today. I had been reading about it here & on the www.prevention.com website. From what I could tell the prevention website has just about everything. I borrowed the book from a friend cause I had a few questions about some things. Have you had a chance to look at the sticky's that are posted here? I know I will need help with food idea too, cause I seem to eat just the same ole stuff, then I get bored & back to all the bad stuff. If you get a chance look at the sites & get back with me. I would be more than happy to help you..
Tahoemom - Wow, 10 lbs in the first phase... That is what i am hoping for. I think the first few days will be the hardest for me... I'm addicted to sugar. Let's get started on this together.
As more me... I would love to lose 30 lbs... but need to lose about 50. I'm 41... single/no kids/, my baby is a chowmix dog.
I have been reading the posts here, and this is an amazing group of ladies... I will be finishing up my first week on Phase one tomorrow night.. so far, I have found it easy to stick to, and I am determined to see this to the end! :-) I hope to join in more here and give as much support as I read here!
This is a great group of women, so kind, generous with their time and in the sharing of their journey. It has made me feel not alone in what I am doing.
As you can see my fur baby is my avatar, he is a shihzu pomerian poodle, and he is enjoying himself on the beach!!! 12 pounds of love and more love.
