Hi there,

This is my 5th day on SB. I have been reading all your inspiring messages since day 1 and I think this is a great messeageboard. Today is the day I finally had the courage to join your forum.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I am sorry to say, I'm starting at 252 but I have not gotten on a scale since last Monday and I am scared too; however, my clothes are loser-I have to keep pulling up my pants when I walk (not cute at all).

Loose clothes is a good sign. I started at 191.5 and I am hoping that I can lose at least 10lbs during Phase 1, we'll see. My co-worker lost 20lbs in 3 weeks on SB. She doesn't even excerise. Isn't that incredible!

WOW, are you serious 20. I am so nervous about getting on the scale but my clothes are falling off which was held up by my stomach. Did she do Phase 1 for the whole 3 weeks or was it for two weeks. I wish I had that type of success, I am just trying my best not to mess up.

At least your clothes feel loose. I am on day 6 and I don't feel like i've dropped a pound! I'm trying to stay focused and not obsess over the scale (i'm only weighing myself once a week..not for another 2 days),b ut it would be nice if my clothes felt looser or SOMETHING!!

Since January, weird to say I gained about 30lbs from stress, will I get a job or not, being unemployed, and trying to take care of myself and my mother(another story) and I put on some pants that I bought maybe a year ago and they fit, they were fitting before but my stomach was making them roll down which is the way majority of my clothes fit and if I go up a size they don't fit at all. So, I am happy and I may try to muster up some bravo and spirit to step on the scale tonight.

I threw on a pair of jeans this morning. Don't get me wrong..they are still snug and my stomach still kind of "pooches" over the waistband, but they weren't AS tight as they had become recently. I was at the point where they were almost too tight to bear (should jeans make you light-headed? LOL). I was about to go buy a larger size (size 18). But, now they are fitting a bit better. I will weigh myself tomorrow (1 week since I started SBD Phase 1). I'll let you know if things are going my way..either that or i'll be huddled in a corner, rocking myself through my tears. :-P
