Tell us something about your family.
How long have you been on the Beach?
How did you come to choose the South Beach Diet as your way of eating?

I have completed my 5th day of P1 on the Beach. And I love it overall. I am categorically agaist "diets" but this is such a WOE, a way of living that gels with me.
I actual researched the South Beach Diet myself and just felt that it falls in line with what I try to do, but without the structure. I have a history of getting radical and being very unhealthy in my body image and self deprecating, so I am cautious of going down that road again. However, I have gone up almost two sizes over the last couple years, due to giving up my bad ways of staying thinm work stresses/demands, knee injury/giving up running, change in my body in early 30'2, etc. i am sick of promising myself "I'm gonna do it this time" and am just doing it! I feel good, extremely positive, and believe my little sister is going to do it too.
I'm 23 years old (24 in 2 weeks)
What state do you hail from (USA), ~or~ what nation are you from?
-Texas
Tell us something about your family.
-I'm engaged to the love of my life.
-I have 2 sisters (14 & 19), my mom and stepdad that I will be moving back in with next month (when I graduate) to save up for my wedding. I hope I can persuade them to get on the beach!
How long have you been on the Beach?
-Since the end of September but I've been slacking a little the last 2 weeks, mainly due to tiredness and laziness. I can't wait until school is over!
How did you come to choose the South Beach Diet as your way of eating?
-It just makes sense! It's a healthy way of eating. Plus diabetes runs on my biological father's side and I want to prevent it.
I am 29
I am from NJ (but almost PA)
I am single but live with my BF, and my two doggies...my parent are retired and live in Maine
I started on 10/20/03 and did three weeks in P1 and am now doing P2
This is the first diet I have ever been able to stick with...I have almost no cravings...I am very excited about making this my WOE.
Good luck to all!!!!

I'm Nancy, 24, and my husband Stéphane (also 24) is also on the beach. We recently got married in june, we have 2 cats. Dixiee Lee and Sativa :)
We started SBD after doing Atkins for 2 months. We were doing okay on Atkins, but I missed fruits terribly. (I know you can add back a little fruit after a while on atkins, but you have to count your carbs so precisely that frankly you're lucky if you can get in a half apple.) Now on SBD I eat a green apple every day! (and I am losing faster and better than on Atkins too!) I just found this WOE to be SO 'natural' and it brushed aways all the worries I had from Atkins. I LOVE THIS WOE !

Since 11/20. Trying to keep going. So hard and can't seem to get out of wanting rice!!!!
How did you come to choose the South Beach Diet as your way of eating?
I had gained like 10 pounds and became really unhappy with the way I looked and fit in all my clothes. Yuck. This one seemed like an ok way to go after Zone seeming to tricky and Atkins seeming too.......
