Hi there! Well, as of today, I'm officially on the South Beach Diet. My history with weight loss programs is lengthy and not very successful... or if so, it was short lived. I'm definately a carb junkie... pasta, bread, sweets! Cutting these out will be so hard. But from what many have told me, you lose your cravings for these after a while. I'm hoping this is the 'answer' for me.

A little about me... I live in Folsom, CA (outside of Sacramento)... I'm 36... married with two daughters (Hailey 5-1/2, Abbey 14 mos)... work full-time. I've been overweight my whole life. I currently have about 100 lbs to lose.

I'm hoping this will be a great place to get support, recipe/food ideas and much needed motivation!!

Hi Tracey,

I live in El Dorado Hills and am in the same boat as you. I just started today and am finding it easy to do. I am surprised b/c I love carbs too. But for me it is about looking and feeling better and with all of those sugar foods you feel sluggish. Email me and we could be buddies. aspenice@hotmail.com

Look forward into talking with you.

You sound like me, ww, atkins, pills, you name it - been there. Take it one day at a time and definitely plan. I've only been on 1 week and lost 4 lbs. You WILL do it this time!
