Hi there, I just wanted to introduce myself. I just started the SBD today officially. I am 31 and was thin my whole life. After having my baby I kept on about an extra 10 lbs which I really didn't mind. But in the last 6 months or so I've put on more weight (I don't even own a scale so I don't know how much) but I'd guess maybe another 10 and it is all on my belly. I have never been on a diet before in my life, but I did my research and especially because of my fat being accumulated in my belly area I thought this would be the best choice. I don't really have horrible eating habits in general, but I do get huge chocolate cravings and totally binge, so I'm looking forward to getting that monkey off my back in Phase 1 :) Also, I have a grain mill and grind fresh flour from wheat to bake all of my family's bread products, so I don't think the part about eating whole grains once I get out of Phase 1 should be a problem for me at all. Nice to be here!

Hi Jen and welcome!!
It sounds like you have done your homework! Good luck and let us know if you need any help along the way!
Hi Jen,

Hi, Jen
I just started too. I'm on day 2 today. I have a similar problem in that the majority of my weight is around my middle. I truly do have that spare tire and as I'm short (not quite 5 foot 3) it's really noticeable. I was in college for two years and gained then but I've been plump for some time now (maybe 4 years) and I'm only 29! I'm not big on pasta, rice, or potatoes, but I do have sweet tooth for things like croissants and cakes and I always want dessert when I eat out. Anyway, welcome!
Hi, again
I just read all the other replies and wow, that is really interesting! I have an interest in whole foods and work part time at a natural foods grocery store. I'm on Phase 1 now but prior to this I ate spelt bread as I'm told I have a sensitivity to wheat. I finally found one I really like but it'd be great to make my own. Do you use spelt at all?
