I am having trouble getting started again. And from what I have been reading lately there are many others in the same boat. It occured to me that we could help each other. I have choosen a date. I am starting again on July 23rd. I am preparing my home and myself. Are there others of you out there who would like to start again with me?

Hi joesfolks! I think i would be considered one of those people in the same boat as you. I keep having trouble with getting started again. I think vacation and just the summer is really messing me up and causing me to overeat. And ironically, this is the time of year when i want to look my very best! Hope to hear from you soon and i can't wait to just get started again and have a clean 2 weeks.

Although you suggested July 23rd for your start date, i'm just going to tell myself that i am starting tomorrow. Even if i don't do a perfect phase 1, I will try to only eat the good carbs, just to sort of prepare myself for the "official" start. I find that if i set a date to start over again, i tend to binge and eat a lot of really bad crap on the days before the start over date because i feel like i won't ever have them again or something weird:S

Anyway,

hope to hear from you soon

Hi,

I am not re-starting the SB diet. I am starting it for the very first time and I plan on also starting this next week. Can I be included in the challenge?

Pink and Fluffy bear, Welcome. This is going to be a very loose challenge. Of course anyone is welcome. We are here to support each other. Not perfect on induction? So what! Can't exercise today? I'll bet you do a bang up job tomorrow. Support, support, support. Be sure to go to everyones journal and keep them going too. I'll be in yours! Oh, by the way, Pink, be sure to start a journal and let us know where you are so we can support you there too.

Thank you!

Why don't you start a thread in the challanges forum? Then you can have all the posts in one thread....just an idea

Just wanted to bump this up in case there are other folks who want to join us.

I am starting on Monday. If I can figure this posting thing out, I would love to join you on the journey.

Hi, everyone. Please count me in as starting tomorrow as well. I had some good success with Atkins about 2 years ago and then we went on vacation and I re-discovered sugar. DISASTER. I've put on about 15 pounds, but I am relatively short and so on me it looks like 25 pounds. I am a full-time actress and singer and I am opening a show on August 19th so I will be wearing cocktail/formal wear and I CAN'T ZIP ANYTHING UP right now so I am using this as my motivation to finally get back into healthier eating. Hope we can all support each other and reach our goals!

Hi everybody! I'm so happy to see that there are so many people ready to start or restart SBD We're in this together. I'm actually quite excited for tomorrow now. I'm just hoping and hoping that these days will go by without too much difficulty.

Hi everyone, yes, I will join the challenge. How will we post and where. I'm an old newbie now and also found it so hard toget started again.

YAY US! I just keep trying to remember how GREAT I felt (ok, after the 3 days of "detox" from carbs, sugar, etc). I felt like I could conquer anything!

We will kick butt on this way of eating!

Good luck to all you who are starting and restarting!!!

Nice to see some motivation building going on! Bravo!! I hope you all get right back to it - remember you're all welcome in the babes thread....your challenge is wonderful - good luck!!
