I have been lurking for a while....

[panfan]

So let me introduce my self.....

I have been reading all of your inspiration posts for a while now and have to congratulate everyone on all your discipline and success !!

I am going to start tomorrow on South Beach....I bought the book last week, read it cover to cover 2 time.....this one I think I can do.

I , like some of you, have been on a weight loss roller coaster most of my life.....college....marriage....two kids etc....

I managed to loose 50 lbs after the birth of my first child with the help of "those really powerful drugs" that aren't available anymore. It was great...i was back to my high school weight. Then after my 2nd child I was able to get the weight off ...most of it. But over the past 6 months or so I have "ballooned up " again and I really feel gross...clothes don't fit any more ( none) I went out last week and bought a few things in bigger sizes so I could just get dressed in the morning.....BUT THATS NOT THE DIRECTION I WANT TO BE HEADED IN !!

So hopefully I will have success.....Over the past few weeks I have said....I'll start on Monday....and didn't...ate more and was depressed !! So hopefully since I comitted to posting this message and the tuesday start day, I will have better success !! It always helps I think when you are not in it alone...

Thanks for listening
Bottoms Up ! ( I know that takes excercise....LOL !)

Dawn,

Welcome to WISH! Remember to sign up at the thread towards the top of the page to become an "official" WISHer and to get a clippie. Believe me, those clippies really provide an incentive to lose! Once you get your first one, you will just thirst for more!

Anyhow, you will do great on SBD. I know many people who have found success with it. And of course you can always really on WISH for support and advice if you need it. You won't find a more supportive group of people anywhere else!

Best WISHes to you, and be sure to keep us posted on your results!

Welcome Dawn! We are so happy to have you join us!

I'm on South Beach too. There is a South Beach support thread that you are free to join. We would love to have you posting on it with us. Phase 1 can be tough but if you can make it through the first 4 or 5 days, then you are home free!

If you need any advice on the program or support in general, just post. Someone will help you out. Post often for encouragement. This board has really been instrumental in helping me take off 68 pounds over the past 7 months. You can do it and we are all here to help!
