Hi from Spring (The Woodlands) Texas.

Hi Lisa,

Saw your post for a diet buddy and that you are from The Woodlands, TX.  I am from  Vermont, but have a family in The Woodlands, so your post caught my eye.  My husband and I just started SB on Jan 28th, so we are near your start point.  He is trying to lose 25 pounds and I am trying to lose 10-12 lbs. 

So how has your first week been?  We made a few mistakes our first week, but it is easier to understand how everything works now that I've been reading the message boards.  Tim has lost 5 lbs and I've lost 2.  We just started the second week and now I'm finding it a little harder.  Last night I wanted to eat something!  Anything else than I should have.  I resisted and ended up eating more celery sticks and deli turkey.  Then I went to bed, but still wasn't really happy about it.  I finally got to sleep!  Today is a new day!

Hope you are hanging in there too!

Chris

Hello Chris from Vermont!  I'm so excited to hear from someone finally!  lol  I'm on week 5 of phase I and I have to say I'm mighty proud of myself.  I too feel like I'm not real certain of what I'm doing - but I'm just trying to do the best I can from what I'm reading on the boards too.  I have my first weigh in on Monday and I'm a little concerned about the weekend coming up.  It's my mom's birthday and they're coming over tomorrow to celebrate.  I feel confident, but I just want to stay strong under the pressure I might be in for with my brother...ahhhh, c'mon sis...it's mom's bday...sort of thing!  

Congrats on your and hubby's loss...I am hoping and praying for loss on Monday too.  My mom and I are doing it together so at least we get to talk about and share what we're eating.

I'm having issues at night myself...especially from around 8:00...want something but nothing seems to sound good or satisfy.  :(
