Hi. I'm Norma. I've actually had some experience with SBD. I tried it over the summer and really liked the results. I did it for about 2 weeks. I did lose 10 lbs and those sugar cravings really do go away. But then I had to plan my meals and try to lose weight and actually use my brain, so I gave up. To any other newbies here, it's not a hard program. But you can't be lazy and lose weight at the same time.
So I'm back. Ready to take control of my life. I need to lose about 50 or so lbs and I just can't stop eating cookies and cake and plain old crap!
Ok, sorry. I vented there a bit. Anyway, I don't know when I'll start. I need to go shopping. I'll probably try to start tomorrow or over the weekend.
I look forward to getting to know all of you during this journey. I'll need all the support I can get.
Oh, and I did have one question. Is there a site that I can find out Glycemic indexes of food? I think that would be a valuable tool.
Thanks! Norma

I am not sure of any sites ---- I know they are out there --- the way I find everything is to go to www.google.com and type in whatever it is I am looking for and they give great lists of sites.
Planning is key to this WOE ----I find the simpler I keep it, the better off I am, like planning things like tuna/chicken/egg salad for lunch or a homemade soup that I made on Sunday and have leftovers for lunches and doing stuff like that so I am not starving and having to think about what I want to cook.
I have about 50 lbs. myself I am still looking to lose :0

Hi Norma, welcome back to the beach!
Thank you also for the GI list. That helps. I have the book, it's collecting dust! LOL Better get it out and read it.
