Hi there!
 

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Kris, I am 35, 5'3" and 211 pounds. I started the South Beach Diet on August 9, 2004. I am so glad to have found this forum as you all seem really nice and very supportive of one another!

I've had great success so far -- 12 pounds lost! I have about 81 to go, but I feel confident that I am going to do it this time and you're all a great inspiration. ;)

Welcome to The Beach, Kryss. You will love it here. Be sure to check out the FAQ and recipe sections and join us on the daily chat thread which I'm just about to start.

Hi Kryss! :wave: Welcome to the Beach! Feel free to post all over the place like the rest of us do. :lol:

Thanks for the welcome! I feel right at home already. :)

Hey Chick welcome to the beach!

Thanks Bamie! What a fun bunch of chicks you are!

Welcome, Kryss -- you're going to laove this place! Congrats on your weight loss! You started SBD the day after my wedding. :)

Welcome to SBD, Kris. You have already done super with the weight loss. Keep it up.

Congrats on your great weight loss, Kris,and welcome to the beach! :wave:

This is a great place. :goodvibes:

Welcome to the beach, Kris! You've done great so far. You might want to edit your signature to include your starting weight/current weight/goal weight like most of us do.

Hi Lauren, Sweet Tooth, Laurie and Barbara! Thanks for the congratulations and the kind words of encouragement and welcome. I really need it today. I am sick (sore throat, upset stomach -- generally blah) so I haven't felt like eating much today or exercising.

My usual goal is to eat at least 3 meals a day (even if they are small) and preferrably 5 small meals (this seems to work the best for me.) But I only ate a small breakfast today so far and it's about 4:30 pm here!! I guess I'll give myself a break since I am under the weather today. My brain still has trouble computing that the more often I eat (the right foods of course) the more I lose... duh.

P.S. Thanks Barb, I did edit my signature this morning, but I guess it doesn't show up in the older posts I made. So here it is now.... :)

Kryss... hope you feel better soon! Nothing like trying to eat when you can't! Take care you'll be back to normal in no time I am sure. I said a prayer for as well!

Welcome! :)
