SBD presentation today - wish me luck!

I have my South Beach presentation today in biology. I am SO nervous - I spent over an hour last night trying to figure out what to wear - feel like I have to really look my best because after they see my b&a pic they are going to be scrutinizing my body the whole rest of the presentation! And I must have taken that b&a picture out like 10 times, and then put it back. Its emailed to my professor now, so its in there. I figured I really need it to give me some type of credibility - a lot of these people in the class already have some very bad ideas about SB(we were talking about each other's topics the other day in the hall before class).

The hardest part is going to be keeping to less than 7 min. Every time I practice I end up at like 20min! How do explain SB, the principals, and the benefits in 7min?

That's so great that you're able to do that. Can't wait to hear how it went. I am sure once you get up there that you'll be able to highlight what's necessary and be done in time.

I am certain that your speech will be compelling (and that you will look absolutely terrific)!


Please post an update on the speech and the questions.

You'll do great, MichaelAnn!!!

I can't imagine anyone else in your class being more qualified to do this presentation. And I can't wait to hear how it went!!!

Good luck...but you won't need it!!!

I hope your presentation went well--I'm sure you did great! You are an amazing SBD ambassador! Good choice to keep the B&A pics in--I think that was essential!!

Well, its over!! I think it went pretty well - I just wish I had more time. It all felt disjointed and like I couldn't really get out all the important info. We had a VERY small class today since its Friday, and he let me start a tad early, so only about 7-8 people were there - YEAH! Made it much easier as they were all the people I kind of chat with in that class anyways. Everyone seemed really interested and asked a lot of questions at the end. Most had a really skewed idea of what SB was - they all thought low-carb, Atkins, etc. I anticipated that and had a whole slide devoted to the misconceptions of it. I won't get my grade til probably Monday.

Did the before/after pictures totally "wow" them?

Definitely. I got a couple gasps, one loud "holy cow" and some applause!

I had told a few of them in the hallway before class that I had lost 70lbs on it and they really couldn't imagine it - they said they couldn't possibly visualize me as being that overweight since they've only known me like this. So it was interesting to see their reactions!
