hello all,

  I just started the program last week and found it easy, but I had a hard time sticking to it. Being in college poses as an extra challenge due to unstable class hours,friends who like to party and alcohol. I want to do this plan, and I know the benefits that I will gain from losing weight...Im looking to see if anyone struggles with sticking to something like I do and wants to be "accountability partners." If you would like to help me, then please email me at stanton5633@hotmail.com.

Hey! I just started the SBD a few days ago. I would love to be your diet buddy! I'm also 22 and I'm in grad school right now. I'm studying to be a physical therapist, and I'm so embarrassed because everyone in my program is in such good shape and I'm the only one who is overweight :( I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I  really want to stick to this diet because I want to be a better example for my future patients. Plus, I live in Miami, so I want to be able to wear a bikini, haha :) I have 50 pounds to lose and I'm really intimidated by that fact. It seems almost impossible at this point, so I really need some support! Let me know if you want to exchange e-mails and be diet buddies :)

Hey there!!! Thank you so much for responding. How are you doing on the diet so far? I was on phase one for only a couple days and found it to be too restrictive for my lifestyle ( in that there is NO alcohol) so I moved on to phase two....which I havent followed religiously either. I have a significant amount of wieght to lose...about 130 pounds or so and it is a battle girlfriend....let me tell you, and its hard when all that is around you is unhealthy foods. I really need some support and someone to hold me accountable, so perhaps we can do this thing together!!! My email is stanton5633@hotmail.com Hope to hear from you soon!!
