Hi, all...

I totally fell off of the SBD train...it drives me nuts because I KNOW it works, I KNOW the first few days are rough and I KNOW I feel 100% better on it.

Anyway, my point is this...it's time to ask for help, because I need it. Is anyone out there still on P1 or wanting to start and need a buddy? I seriously need some one-on-one encouragement and I want to offer the same in return.

Any takers? I'm a hard-core SBD fan, just having a hard time for some reason...

Oh, and anyone is free to add me as a friend, if they want!

    eddymeese, I need to start phase 1 all over as I never got through it the first time. I made it 7 days and then had a planned cheat day and that was all it took. I never got back on phase 1 after that. We can buddy up if you still are looking for someone. I need someone to whip me into shape!! Lol

    I'm not one Phase 1 (thank goodness!) anymore, but I can sympathize. I started South Beach on August 20. I am losing and I definitely feel. Enter eating this way. After the first few days, it should begin to get a little easier, at least it did for me. Now I honestly don't have those big cravings for sugar. Feel free to add me, if you like. Best of luck!!

    I'm going back to phase one, feel free to friend me. I've had a rough few weeks here, two funerals, a new car, work stress, and I feel like I need to reset, and phase one is just the thing. I just need to get rid of all the left over funeral food in the fridge. I didn't make it or pay for it, but I still feel bad for throwing it out.....

    I'm starting phase one TODAY! ADD me if you like. I'm hoping I can stick to eating healthy this go round. I did SB about 4 years ago and was very successful. But, I went back to my old eating habits and here we are again. I tried to do SB a couple of times within the past year, but phase one gets me. This time - I WILL DO IT!

    I've been researching different diets/eating plans and I've read the majority of the SB book and I think I may start on Monday. I'm glad I found this group! My husband does a lot of the cooking b/c I work and I'm in grad school, so I'm going to spend the weekend trying to convince him to join me :). I did buy one of the cook books and I'm a pinterest fan, so I have access to some good recipes. Feel free to friend me.

    I started phase 1 today. So far so good. Tonight will be day 3 of the shred. I have a lot to lose - about 40 lbs but determined. I have never done SBD before but I have been at goal. I am journalling everything - that is something I haven't done very well for the past 2 years and I believe it is essential to success.
