Howdy! My name is Michelle and I just recently began trying Sugarbusters and to be Sugar-Free. I gave birth to a son back in December and have lost 31 pounds since bringing me to 209. I haven't been successful yet at giving up the sugar, but I'm trying. I just wanted to introduce myself as I'm going to be spending some time here..

Welcome to the boards. Good luck on your weight loss. I am also attempting a Sugar Busters type diet plan though I have not been as strict with it as I should be since it is very difficult to stick to a vegetarian diet and Sugar Busters. I may have to give up the vegetarianism.

Hey Ladies!

Welcome to the both of you! Not many people will check this part of the board to see that we have newbies! So, Go to the link that says - SB weekly support board and join in there - you will meet some wonderful ladies that can answer lots of your questions! I look forward to meeting and getting to know the both of you!

Hi there!

Just wanted to chime in to let you know that you can be a vegitarian and do SB. I did it 3 years ago. I eat meat now, so maybe I'm not the best spokesperson, ha ha, but I did do the ovo-lacto vegitarian thing successfully before. I ate nuts and nut butters, soy products (tofu, soy burgers, Garden Burgers, etc.), eggs and dairy for protein and just all the whole wheat/grains and vegetables the book reccomends. Combining that with exercising at least 3 times a week, I lost 35 lbs. in 3 months. Don't compromise your values and lifestyle to follow the plan. You can make it work for you.

Cheers!
