Hi Everyone!


Well, after lurking on the board and reading material for SBD... I start today.  I'm excited and of course, just a little nervous... I want this to work and so I will work it and hope my body will cooperate by ridding the junk cravings.  My family is very supportive and I also have a friend joining me (Joey) and she will probably intro herself later today.


I would like to think that I eat a whole lot more healthier in my 30's BUT I tend to over indulge in after dinner desserts and weekend treats.  I have a husband and two daughters (8 and 11) and I push vegies and fruits but like me they tend to enjoy sweet treats daily, not once in a while or for special occassions... which is my ultimate goal.


As of this morning, I weigh 165 lbs @ 5'6".  My goal is 135 lbs.  I haven't weighed that since the birth of my children!  I can't wait to be there again.


Thanks everyone ~ Emma

Hi Emma -- we're so glad you (and Joey) will be joining us. Don't be nervous, we don't bite and neither does the South Beach plan. Check in as often as you can, be mindful of what you are putting in your body, try to exercise on a consistent basis, and we'll have you down to 135 in no time. We're starting a Holiday Challenge soon, so start thinking about a goal of what you might want to lose by Christmas. :-)
