South Beach Diet

Hi! I’m a restarter after 18 months off). I lost 27 lbs. when I was
on the diet before. I have gained quite a bit, but not all of it,
back. I hate the way i feel in my clothes. i’m just not comfortable
and i feel unhealthy. so I’m back in Phase 1 starting tomorrow. And
I did join the SBD site. I think it’s worth $5 a week. I like the
message boards, the journal and the weight tracking.
I just realized that i did not say anything about who I am. I am 43,
mother of 4 (19,17,14, & 10) soon-to-be stepmom of 3 (21, 18, & 17)
and a step-grandmom of 1 (3). I am an 8th grade alnguage arts
teacher. (Christmas treats did me in!) I am up to 188 and I want to
be at 150 by the end of the summer. I like to read and crochet (both
sendentary activities) and i used to be an avid runner but my knee
ended that. I want to start walking and doing Pilates.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone. I gained a lot of
weight when I was pregnant with my 2 year old and most of it has
stayed on. am very excited about this diet.
