My husband found this one, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've followed the SBD for 18 months, I lost a total of 67 lbs. Have maintained for almost a year now. It's a great plan, I know this has to be a life long program to follow, so I'm looking for someone that is going through what I am, and hope my success can be an encouragement to someone. Looking forward to talking to you all, Cheryl Hi everyone:

However, also explains why the list is so quiet, as no give and take can get going. Anyone know a busier list they'd recommend? Sarah Ah…that would explain it.

During the first 9 months I lost about 45 lbs - I still would like to take off 20 more but right now I am just coasting and sticking will all the healthy ideas I learned on SB. The first week on SB I stuck like glue to the diet and lost 12 lbs. and it showed right in the stomach area. My cholesterol has gone from 196 to 140 and is still going lower. And my Triglycerides have gome from 329 to 66 - and my good and bad (ldl and hdl) is great also. I bought the SB cookbook and use a lot of the recipes from it. During phase 1 I had a week long headache - but I was a sugar and coffee freak and gave them both up! The coffee only because I can't stand the fake sweeteners and I drank my coffee (and lots of it) with lots of sugar in it. I also needed very badly the ricotta cheese goodie every night - the only thing that got me through the TV cravings. My breakfast was the quiche from the SB book - which I made a batch of and kept in the freezer along with V8 juice. Lunch was lots of salads trying different ideas from the book. And water, water, water. I think the one thing that got me through phase 1 was I would NOT break the diet at all. Of course I had people at work knowing what I was doing, so that helped. The reason I tried SB was when I saw the book and the list of food - I said hey-I like those foods, so that helped also. Good luck everyone! Hi everyone - I have been on SB for a little over a year.

My husband and I were on the SBD about a year ago and were losing weight. We unfortunately got off the diet and gained back all the weight PLUS... My husband is borderline diabetic with high colestrol and I am VERY overweight and need a knee replacement badly. I HAVE to lose weight and so does my husband. BTW, my husband is legally blind and does not drive so you can imagine the problems with my getting my knee replaced. I HAVE TO lose some weight and I have to lose it ASAP. I can't put off the surgery much longer. I am 57 and my husband is 51. We live in Houston, Texas with 3 toy dogs. My kids are grown and on their own. I just won a LARGE print copy of SBD book on Ebay so my husband can hopefully read it too...he has some very limited vision and can read if the print is large enough and he uses his visual aid. Thanks for letting me be a part of the list. Louise Hi…I am new to the list.

Quit during vacation and the rest of the summer and have gained some back, want to get rid of that weight plus another 10lbs. My question for all you is, according to the SB book, if you backslide, go back on phase 1 and start over. I didnt have any trouble with P1 before but now can't stick to it very well. (the first time I felt great, had energy, never hungry, now I am starving, cranky, tired) I have heard that the first time you start a low-carb diet it may be the only time it will work for you and if you mess up your "golden opportunity" to keep with it, that its much harder to lose the weight again doing low-carb...has anyone had this experience? Anyone used SB diet then gained, then SB workied again? Thanks in advance for any imput Karen Hi my name is Karen, I started South Beach in 1/04 stuck with it for

My name is Debra and I am from SW Florida. I'm 25 years old and married to a wonderful man for over 6 years now. We have no children but do have one Himalayan cat named Shadow. Shadow owns us not the other way around! :) I'm 5'0" tall and am weighing in at 155 pounds. When I went to see my internist for a checkup she mentioned my weight. Yes, I KNOW it's a problem and really would like to get it under control. So she mentioned the SBD. I went and got the book and read it through. I'm really concerned about my health but can't seem to get the motivation and willpower needed to succeed. DH is supportive of me but it's hard when he is very healthy and fit. He can go out and eat out all the time eating the worst things and never gain anything! Of course, he always takes me with him and when I see him eating something like a huge burger and fries it makes me want to eat it too. I really will need the support and motivation from the group and promise to give the same in return. I have a hard time thinking about what to eat as I am a very picky either. I do not like seafood or eggs - blech! And the tomato juice mentioned in the book just makes me want to gag! I'll be starting tomorrow and will look forward to being a part of the group.

I am looking on the web but can't seem to find a sample plan. Oh also, I noticed cheese is fine to eat but does it have to be low fat or no fat? I thought low fat and no fat products had a lot of sugar in them. Thanks, Jen Hello everyone,
