New here, introducing myself

I just came from the store and bought the book. I must be desperate, this is going to be the first diet I've ever been on. I'm just tired of being overweight. I want to return to my pre-baby weight (I wish) but will settle on just being comfortable with my weight and how I look. I'm anticipating I will be needing lots of encouragement here. lol

You came to the right place! Encouragement is what we're here for. I'm a newbie too (started 1/27), and I've found this place to be great.

Hi! As you can see below I'm starting on it too around the same time you are. I borrowed the book for now, but will buy my own copy after I get what it really is about. Congratulations on making this first step to starting SBD!!! I'm in the same boat as I'm sick of just being ok with the way I am. I'm just not happy anymore with the way I am so I have to change that. Our family does get adult onset diabetes, so that's another reason to nip it in the bud now. My aunt died at 58 of complications of that disease so it's close to my heart that you really do need to care of your body before it's too late.

We'll both need support. My DH is also going to try to eat what I eat for dinner so in a way he'll support me when he's here.

I plan on posting here often just to stay on track. Hope to see you around.

Tammy

I too am trying to lose my "baby" fat, and my babies are 15 and 12, lol. I was 125 before children, and now am at 155. I figured if I don't do something now, it's just going to keep on going up. I'm day three of Phase I, and I hope I can make this a lifestyle change. Good luck to all. We can do this!
