Hey everyone,

It’s been a while but my break is OVER!  I got married in June and the good news is, I was successful in losing almost 20 pounds for my wedding and got down to 135!  The bad news is I gained some back (not too much, but enough!)  I realized I really need this to hold me accountable, keep me motivated, and help me stay on track.

During my hiatus I tried Weight Watchers online and it didn’t work for me.  I have a real problem with willpower with certain foods (don’t we all?) which is why South Beach always worked for me.  When I decided to try something new, I loved Weight Watchers at first but the flexibility of eating ANYTHING you want in small portions was not a good thing for me.  I do better with a much more regimented plan with cheat days built in.

Anyway my WW experience taught me more about myself and I was just about to join South Beach Diet online for $65 when I realized there wasn’t anything SBD could offer me that this website can’t - for free!

So here I am.  I’m going back on my weight tracker to log in last week - 144 and this week - 141.5.  I’m going to stay here until I meet my goal of 127 pounds!  This is lower than I started with because I know I can do it now!  Before, I wasn’t even sure I could get down to 135 but I know it’s possible so the sky’s the limit. 

127 is a challenging but doable goal and that will be a weight where I know I can maintain between 125-130 and always feel very happy with my body.  And I love food too much to drop below that.

So, off I go!  Thanks for your support, then and now, and I’ll be in touch soon!

PS - currently struggling with giant tray of chocolate bonbons literally right outside my office cube… but I will stay STRONG!  (OK, I already ate 2 of them but that’s my limit! :))
