Hello all :) My name is Val and I'm Becky (Beckty)'s little sister. She has been talking to me about South Beach off and on for a couple years now, and I'm finally ready to join her. I very recently took a stab at Atkins but had a worrisom reaction.


I had planned to start tomorrow (Monday) but I don't have any food in the house so it'll have to be Tuesday. I've lost 25 pounds in the last year, put 5 on over the Christmas holidays and have been losing and gaining those 5 pounds all winter long. Blech. Ready to shake things up. I have 20 more pounds to reach my original weight-loss goal!

Welcome Val. How great of you to go with your sister's recommendation........I think you are going to be owing her BIG time! This is a great way of eating that will help you lose weight successfully, be much healthier and stay that way for life (as long as you stay on track).

Glad you joined us. Keep us informed on your progress.

Oh my gosh, it does seem like a million years ago since the single and dating years.


And this morning, as I contemplated strangling DH, it seemed even longer ago... ;)
