I am a slacker --

Although I didn't eat as bad as I could have at the amusement park on Tuesday (forwent the Funnel cake, but have a candy apple in the fridge), I have been eating the worst that I have in the past 2 months.

I was dehydrated as all get out and was 193 when I got back from the park, but weighed in at 196 this morning. To top it all off, I just caved in and ate a serving of M&M and some other sugar filled candy.

There is my binge. I jinxed myself. 2 months of nothing and poof. GRRRR!!! Looking at the bright side, it wasn't chips (and there is a HUGE bag sitting on a table about 200 feet from me!)

Anyway...getting back on starting now. Slurping water and putting the 1/2 of the 20 oz Diet Pepsi (YUM) back in the fridge for another day. Wonder what I'll be having for dinner...

Hugs all!

Hey fellow Beachers, I have been reading your post for at least a month and a half and have been too shy to jump in. I really enjoy reading about you and your struggles and triumps over your weight, I can identify. I have tried WW and the Atkins and could not stay on them, the Beach has been much easier for me to stay with and I have lost about 13 lbs, my clothes fit better and I feel much better.
I do struggle sometime with staying OP, but I do jump right back on.
I look forward to reading everyones post and will continue to learn from you.
Thank you.

Hi Ladyntexas

Glad that you overcame your shyness and jumped in.

Congrats on your fabulous weight loss - I think that comment you made about jumping right back on is key to this. Its the lesson I'm trying hard to keep foremost in my mind this time. When I do slip, I have to just get back on and not turn a little slip or a bad day into a month of overeating as I have in the past

So, nice to "meet" you, and dont be shy any longer!

Well Said Artemis! ..Hello Ladyntexas..nice to meet you luv! Congrats on your loss, and lessons learned...so glad you popped in..please stay..pull up a chair to listen or gab with the rest of us!

Thank you for the welcome, Artemis. I started out on my scale at 180 and am now down to 165, that is the least I have weighed in about 15 years. I am determined to lose at least another 10 or 15 lbs. My drs have been very surprised and supportive in my weight loss, my cholesteral was way up and my blood sugar was evelvated and so my endrocrinologist suggested that I try the SBD. So here I am, I am 53 years old and really wanting to enjoy my life and not carry so much weight around with me.
So enough about me, I am just real glad you ladies are here.

HI Ladyntexas!

That's right...don't be shy, we're glad to have you here!
