I have been doing South Beach diet for less than a year and have lost 51 pounds. The carbs are my hard part. Sometimes I over do it. When they start being a problem, I just cut them out and get back on track.

I had a doctor put me on it several years ago and I did great then. But then started struggling with Psoriatic Arthritis and then injured my knee at work. Needless to say between the injury and depression, I hit my all time weight high. Now I am back on it and more determined to get the weight off. I love the food. You…

I have lost 51 pounds so far on South Beach diet. I love it. Threw out all my cookbooks several years ago and all I own are the South Beach diet books.

You are welcome to add me. I have PCOS as well and I am doing the South Beach diet. I originally had 135 pounds to lose when I first started, I have lost 51 pounds so far. I am shooting for 180 for my goal weight as of right now. It is a struggle to lose weight while having PCOS but it can be done.

I met my true love 13 years ago in an AOL chatroom. Come to find out we lived only 10 minutes from each other and went to the same high school, but he is 4 years older than me, so I was starting high school once he graduated. Married 2 years exactly on the day we met and still married today.

There are different levels too. I found a local church that was doing one and I think it was Zumba Gold. I have a problem falling all over my own feet, but this was easier.

Memphis, TN here, which is known for BBQ. I love me some BBQ myself, but I make it at home with lean meat and homemade no sugar BBQ sauce.

My husband is terrified of bridges as well. But there was one time he went over one and as soon as he did, it collapsed and all the cars behind him were gone.

This thread is cracking me up. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and together a total of 13 years. I admit, when we were dating, I did try to hold it in. Was not always easy. Now there is no holding back. He loves me for me and doesn't care. Now when we take a pooh, we do at least close the bathroom door. Any…

I am freaked out by frogs as well. There was one summer our entire front of our house was covered in tree frogs. OMG, I didn't want to go out or if I found I way out I didn't want to go back in. It was awful

Wow, still no November 16th out there. I know of at least 1 person I share my birthday with and she is a year older. My husband is November 6th, so that is two Scorpios together.

I just got over my TOM and my cravings were awful. Sweets are my thing. So I made me some muffins that were high in fiber with dark chocolate chips and that seemed to help.

I am 5'4 and currently weighing 263 lb. I started at 315 lb. I am struggling right now to even get out of the 260s. Feel like I lose a pound just to gain half a pound, then lose a pound in a half and gain a pound. You are welcome to add me as well. I need the encouragement as well.

I am 5ft 4 inches. My CW is 263, started at 315. My goal weight as of right now is 180, but that is because I don't ever even remember being below 200. I am sure once I get there I will reevaluate my goals. I just want to be healthier and be able to try to at least have 1 kid, as I am 33 years old and have been married for…

I moved a lot growing up, so I didn't really have a street growing up. If I go by the first street I can remember it would be Sheba Sigsbee or if I went for the street where we moved when my dad retired, then it would be Sheba Marshall.

Maybe he is afraid of you losing weight and losing you. Try to sit down with him and talk to him. Let him know that him not supporting you is hurting you.

Wow 19 pages in and no match. Many all around but no match yet. November 16th here.

Thanks everyone.

I am seeing all kinds of small victories. Just this time last year I was struggling to go up and down stairs. Also used to not be able to sit down on the floor because I couldn't get back up. Thanks all.

I started at 315 and am now down 52 pounds. First picture I was about 300 at the time and last picture is when I hit 50 pounds lost.

I never noticed much of a difference with the Metformin, just kept an upset stomach all the time. Been taking my BCP and spirnalactone religiously though. Wouldn't know what to do without those two pills.

Would be interested in the answer to this as well. I crave chocolate real bad during that time of the month. Sometimes the cravings drive me absolutely insane.

I am the same way. Lost my 50 pounds and was so excited. I love food and love cooking and baking. I got in a rut also. Would lose a pound then gain a pound and a half. Then lose half a pound. Just got back down to 52 pounds lost and determined to keep going. I have kick up my exercise routine and trying hard to watch what…

Some meds can make it darker as well.

I was retaining alot of water last week and could feel. So I drank tons and tons of water and it did help. I keep a cup that holds two cups filled with water. Once it is empty, then I fill it back up. Water is about all I drink. Sometimes in the morning I will have a V8 or at lunch I will have some green tea, but most of…

Mine is from when I went to go visit family in Florida in May. I had just recently lost a job and it was probably the happiest I had been in awhile.

I am insulin resistant as well. My doctor recommended South Beach Diet because you eliminate the bad carbs. In about 11 months I have lost a total of 52 pounds. I personally love South Beach Diet and never feel like I am depriving myself.

Sometimes I think I eat too fast as well. I think a lot of started in schools when you were given about 10 minutes to eat your lunch. Lunch was only 20 minutes long but by the time you got out of line and sat down, you only had 10 minutes left if that. Now when my stepson comes to visit, he eats even faster than me. He…

From the time I was about 13 my mom was taking me to doctors to find out what was wrong. My cycle was never right from the beginning. It took me going to a fertility specialist at the age of 20 before I finally got someone who told me what was wrong. And the moment she walked and saw me, she knew right off what was wrong.…
