Tell me about yourself. Anything!!

HI there Leener2009,

I know what you mean. But what can I say, I have a picture of my dog! LOL. So far things have been going pretty well on the SBD for me. No big weight loss but I am feeling better and eating healthier - How about for you?

Let me know if you want to buddy up - can always use friends to get through the challenges.

Take care and best of luck to you as well !

Hey Kathleen,

Well sounds like you had a great time with family, after all this is also about living your life and having some fun.

This is just one of the dogs, his name is Brock, and he is part Lab and part Border Collie (or that is our best guess). All our dogs are strays or from a local rescue as we live way out in the country and seem to be a dumping place for dogs. Brock lives indoors with Sasha, another Lab cross, we think its Weimaraner and 2 cats. The other dogs are outside and pretty much just hang out with the horses or adorn the front porch!

Speaking of dogs, heading out for my morning walk right now before it starts to rain.

Take care,

Mardi

That's great you're going for a walk. Sounds like you have a busy place there. Have you always been a country gal? I envy the warm weather you have in Texas. With the time change, it's too dark for me  to go walking before work, and I'm more a morning person than a night one. I Anyway, good luck staying in the zone!! We always feel healthier and more confident when we do!!

p.s. I brought xmas cookies to work today. I just HAVE to stay away from them.

Hey Mardi,

I love your dog :) . My name is Becky and I am looking for buddy to share my South Beach Diet journey with. I have 50lbs to lose and am very positive and motivated. I live in the South East, married and have to children 21 & 18. Two dogs, Bailey (Beagle) & Lucy (Papillon). Maybe we could chat a bit and help each other out. If you are interested let me know. :)

God Bless

Im not very good on this but will try. Im a grandma thirteen grandchildren. I live on a farm. I have four children. I need to lose about fourty pounds. My husband of 44 years is a sweet eater so i have a hard time saying away from the sweet. need alot of help. sharon carol

I have also noticed this. You are right. It would be easier to find buddies if you could learn a bit more about them.

Hello! I agree, I believe my profile is filled in, add me as a friend if you wish. Love to meet new friends. I am in Phase 2 now and am thrilled I am not feeling deprived. That is huge!

Hi Ladies, I notices the same things. How is anyone to find anything out about one another? Ive also visited the beach before, years ago. Worked then, but i didn't use it as a lifestyle..Which it is.

I have now, and lost 33 pounds, hubby lost 65. So if anyone would like to buddy up, to share ideas, learn from one another..sounds good to me. I have changed my goal weight, to 155 (from 160) so i would like to lose another 11 pounds. But, again i go how my body feels, not how i look anymore :)

Take care :)

I'm a little scared to enter too much information - if there's one thing this fat person does NOT want, it's to call attention to being fat. I know we're all here for the same reason, but someone who has a few pounds to lose has different struggles than someone with a long way to go. Not easier - just different. That's just my opinion tho.  

That said, I do not think this site makes it easy to find and update your profile information.  Also the forum is a little strange. This is my first "reply" post and I can't tell if it's going to post to the thread or be sent directly to the person noted in the "to" box up top. I want it to post to the thread! LOL!
 
I'm going right now to try to update my profile.

A little about me - I'm 44, mom to three boys ages 5, 5, and 7 months. I've done SB in the past - a way long time before having the twins - so I know it works. I'm in the second week of Phase II and I'm so happy because the cravings have subsided as have the sugar-headaches. I feel more stable and I've lost 8 pounds so far. I have a ways to go but I know I can do it!

I live in Idaho, where the weather has been very strange lately. The twins just got new "big boy" two-wheeler bikes and I'm looking for a bike for myself as well. Just bought the little tow trailer so little brother can go riding with us as well. I haven't been on a bike in 20 years, at least, but now that the boys have them, I cannot let my issues hold THEM back. So momma needs to get herself a wide seat, but I'm going to get on the bike and ride with them! LOL!

By the way Blondie, GREAT job on your loss as well as hubby's! You look terrific but it's even better that you're going by how you FEEL rather than just looks. Keep up the good work!
