I would like to hear from anyone who has actually had success with this plan. I have read the book (have read them all!) but what really motivates me are success stories. I have 40 - 50 lbs to lose - been stuck here since my third child was born 5 years ago. Would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.

Well here's mine!

I had my son 7 months ago and was left with a 16 of the 30 pounds to lose all on my own. Never been at that weight before so I was concerned. When I really decided to buckle down, I chose SBD because it was so close to the way I had eaten the last trimester thanks to gestational diabetes. I began September2 and I've lost 20 pounds. I exercise a lot and I'm sure that helped a tremendous amount. My father, stepmom, and sister all started this diet and are very happy with the results and the way it makes them feel so a lifetime committment shouldn't be hard for any of us. We do indulge every once in a while but with discipline, even that can be overcome.

Good luck and I hope this works for you like it has for us...

Hi and welcome.

I had about 60-70 lbs to lose when I started on Sept. 8th. I am down 18 lbs. now and 11 1/2 inc.

I have tried every diet/exercise program out there and even made up a couple of my own :)!

I love SBD --- because it is the first time in a few years that I have felt in control

of what I am eating and how much. I am not hungry and I have so much fewer cravings

than I have had in years.

I also work out --- had a hard time with working out when I was on phase 1 as that detox phase was very tiring for me, but since I have been on phase 2 --- I have definitely been

working out.
