My roommate and I start South Beach together tomorrow. I have about 30 pounds to lose and she has about 20. Wish us luck.

Good luck!!!

Good luck!

Congrats on a great lifestyle change choice.

best of luck to both of you.

yeah, its a good thing to have a roommate to go in with you. Just make sure you guys don't be too strict with each other and compete with each other- I've heard several stories where "roomie dieting" goes in the wrong direction.

Thanks everyone!

Veggielover, thanks for your concern. I will keep that in mind, but I think having both of us on the eating plan will help us work through it.

My MIL and Aunt recently both started a diet plan together. They eat all their meals together and live next door to each other. They are doing great with 16 and 16.5 lbs. lost. They are great support for each other. I'm sure yours will work great too. Congrat's on getting started.

Your mother-in-law and your aunt live next door to each other? Cool!

Thanks for the support.
