Thanks from a Newbie!
 
Hi, everyone! :D

I'm three weeks into South Beach and I have to tell ya, this message board is a motivation saver!!! I've lost 13.5lbs so far and I'm swimming in my clothes! I'm 4lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. It feels wonderful, but I'm afraid to fall off the wagon or get burnt out. I really want this to be successful! The only other diet I've tried is Atkins...for about a week a few years ago. I thought if I saw one more egg after that week, I'd lose my mind. So far, SBD has been much easier, but today I've been tired and although I've been good, I was feeling weak. :(

And then I found these postings and I feel inspired! So, thank you very much for being here!!!

Laurie

Laurie, you spell your name right! :D I'm a Laurie too. Welcome! :wave:

:bravo: on your weight loss!!! :cp: :high: :cp:

Some days it's harder than other, huh. Did you check the recipe forum out? I didn't know about the PB cup recipe until I was about at your point, and it really helped me out of a rut!

I'm sure you'll find these boards as warm and wonderful as I have. There are so many great people here, so pull up a lounge chair and join us on the beach! :sunny:

Welcome and congrats as well! It's a good feeling, no? And don't worry about feeling like you might fall off. With South Beach, it's much easier to get back on!
