Mommy - Why are you Fat??

is the question my daughter asked me recently.  Out of the mouth of babes, huh?


Last year I turned 40.  I vowed to be "Fabulous at 40" I had 8 months to do it.  Well, that didn't go so well.  : (  So when my daughter asked me this question, I once again vowed to be fabulous at "40" cuz I still have 8 months till I turn 41  : )


I have been lurking on this website for the past 5 days or so reading posts (lots and lots to read!!), taking notes and planning for my Day 1 start which is tomorrow.   I took a steno pad and on the inside front cover I put what I am allowed to have at each meal (protein, veggie-wise, fats, etc.).  On the back inside cover, I took the Phase 1 foods lists condensed it and now I have, at hand, all the foods I'm allowed to have.  This book stays with me in my purse (yes, its a big purse LOL!!) so when I shop, I can refer to it as needed.  (BTW, I have done the SBD before with good success - I think it was 15 - 20 lbs).


I am truly amazed each day I come on here and see how many posts your board has - 200+ any given day.  WOW!!  Very informative ladies here and the CLs - answer every.single.question - how awesome is that???  : )


I went to the SBD website and joined for 7 day free trial period.  Do any of you belong to the site?  In your honest opinion, is it really worth the $$ to join?  I know its $5.00 per week (they bill you 13 weeks at a time) but if I can get the same "benefits" here, I'd rather save the cash  : )  KWIM?


Looking forward to getting to know you all!
