New here, briefly saying Hi

[Guest guest]

Hi all. My name is Tammy. I have been reading the book and wavering

upon starting SBD. Well, today is the first day of the rest of my

life. I finally made the decision when I realized that my " do-it-

yourself " method was failing miserably. I admit I was hesitant

because before major surgery last year I did Atkins in order to drop

some weight. It worked, but caused some...ummm...personal problems

(lack of fiber type issues, if you know what I mean). I gained back

all the weight I lost, and then some, which of course makes me tired

and miserable.

SBD appeals to me because it really seems to apply lots of common

sense (lean meats, natural grains, veggies, fruits (in later phases),

etc. So, a week away from my birthday, I'm taking a positive step in

my lifestyle! I also started a Pilates program a week or so ago.

I'll probably be lurking a lot because I work from home, and

homeschool my youngest child, but already I can see that the support

here is tremendous. I look forward to getting to know you all as I

whittle away between 40-50 pounds. (Oh my, did I reveal that <G>)

Have a blessed day!

Tammy
