hello everyone!!I'm going to start SBD on Tuesday.(ok my birthday was yesterday and going to celebrate on Monday so thought Tuesday would be better to start) Please bare with me if I do something wrong here. I've never been on a chat so really a newbie to everything here. Wondering if there is anyone from Ontario on the diet also?? Need a buddie or two! Any suggestions or recipes would be greatly appreciated. I need to loose about 60ish lbs! AHHH!!!! Seems like it will take forever. I've read many of the postings and the support that you all give is really awesome. The encouragement is overwhelming!! hoping to hear from someone soon!

Hi and welcome.

Biggest advice is to plan --- make sure you always have legal foods with you and available to you. Be selfish --- especially with the holidays/parties coming up,

make sure you have available to you food that are on the foods to eat lists :)!!!

This is a great WOE and I have not felt so in control of what I put in my mouth in ages.

Let us know if you have any questions,

Ellen

Hi: Sorry I'm a bit late replying to your message.

Just wanted to say I am from Ontario too and its good to have a fellow Canadian on board. Unfortunately there are many things that fellow SBD'rs say they have found in their grocery stores that we cannot get here :( So far though I have managed ok. Found some things in the health food stores which helps. How are you finding SBD. You can use my email address if you want nhowell@cogeco.ca

thank you very much for your kind words and understanding.Thank you also for the FAQ thread. It helped. So far so good on the WOE. Down 5 lbs. in 4 days. I thought it was only 1 and was ok with that but i re-weighed a little bit after and noticed the difference.

Hi Karen,

Welcome to the Beach! I actually started on a Thursday, which I highly recommend. This way our hardest days, days 3 and 4, were on the weekend. Anyway, Mondays are hard enough as they are, aren't they? LOL.

I have a lot to lose, too. 83 total.

Good luck and welcome!
