Hi, I'm new here, but not new to SBD. I took of 126 lbs before, but got sick and was injured and put my weight back on after a few years. So, I'm back on SBD.

    Hi! Best of luck!

    Alas, the group isn't very active. I wish it was, as other South Beach forums are clunky.

    But hey, maybe it will pick up.

    Hi, I'm new too. Myfitness pal was suggested from my fitbit group. I've had success with SBD before and plan to make it a way of life this time.

    Hi! It's been my way of life for ages now. Since the book came out (right as I finished losing weight lol). It's been such an easy way to maintain weight (til menopause anyway!).

    ps: I love my fitbit too!
  • I just started Day 1 today and also hope there is more interaction in the group!

    I agree about the book. That book, and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food" stay on my iPhone so I can listen to them whenever I want.

    Hi! I just joined this group and plan on starting phase 1 of SBD tomorrow. I lost about 30 pounds just counting calories and WW points then switched to Medifast and lost another 60 pounds. I'm within 25 pounds of my goal weight and decided to switch to SBD to allow for a greater level of activity and more foods.

    I'm psyched!

    Hey there :) Not new to MFP but new to the group. I've done SBD before and did well on it. Looking to get back into it. I just remember feeling really good when I was doing it. So yeah. Phase 1, here I come.

    You can do it! I feel so much better if I eat "slow carb". SO much better.

    You're doing great! Eating slow carb (like South Beach) is pretty darned easy. I've been doing it for 12+ years now. It becomes second nature.
