Hi Cathy, I start the South Beach Diet and lost 8 lbs in two weeks (andt that was with falling off the wagon a couple of times)This week I am staying strong and will follow Phase I. That is eating no carbs or sugar. I should lose 7 lbs if I do. then I will go to Phase II which adds a few carbs. Good luck in what you are doing

Thank you for the offer of candy. I need everything I can do to take the weight off. today I went to Curves with my Sister (she is a member) I got a one week vistor pass. I will see if this is what I need for the exercise. I have been walking on the treadmill at least 3 times a week. I know I need to steop it up to 5 times a week for 30 minutes each time. It looks like you are doing quite well with your weight. Let me know how I can help and motivate you.

HI Cathy. Yes, my name is Sue and I moved to Buda from Dallas about one year ago. Where does your friend live I visit Dallas often and lived there for about 33 years.
I am praying for quick results in my weight loss so I can be fit enough to do the walking I may have to do when I go to Africa in April. I do my best to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever and whenever I can. Mainly to Love God and one another. I am not a preacher but I believe that eating right and sharing healthy tips is another way we take care of the "temple" (our body)which the Lord has entrusted us to His use, is also spreading the Gospel.
I hope we can be a help to each other. We are close to the same age and I think we will have a lot to share.
Thanks for being my friend
