Hey ladies (and gentlemen?) !

I'm starting SBD again after a very long time. I never even did it the first time for more than a week or so. Can't even remember.

I was lap-banded 3 years ago, lost all the weight (~142 lbs) after about a year and a half, and since about a year ago, after losing my mom suddenly (then 'incident' after incident it seems), I've been eating very poorly and let myself slip. I used to wear a size 24, and was down to a size 8 (even had a 6!) at my lowest. I weighed about 140lbs, which I was very happy with, but now am in the low 170's. (I'll do an official, first thing in the morning weigh-in tomorrow)

I'd like to get back to where I was, around 140lbs. I want to fit into my clothes! I could just go 'get a fill', but that would just decrease the amount of crap I eat, and increase the likeliness that I'll throw it up.

I'm SO hooked on Haagen Dazs Caramel Cone Explosion and buttered popcorn right now, it's not even funny. Even if all this does for me is break me of the habit, it would be verrrry beneficial!

I just wanted to introduce myself and make myself accountable to someone. My boyfriend will be doing this with me, so that will help. I hope someone's starting up a new APRIL CHECK-IN thread, cause I'll definitely be signing up!

Thanks guys, wish me luck!

Mandi

*edited to add - who am I kidding, I WANT to be 130lbs. That would be ideal.*

Sorry for your loss.:(

Welcome to the beach!! :wave:

When are you going to get rid of all that ice cream and buttered popcorn in your home? soon, I hope!! ;)

Congrats on your successful lap band weight loss!
Now is a great time to get a handle on your eating before any more damage happens. :thup:

I'll start up the new checkin thread each month and will do so before next Monday. Feel free to jump in before then. :cool:
My very best to you.

Welcome Mandi!

SB is a great way to learn how to eat healthy and get those cravings under control.

See you on the weigh-in thread for April!

Thank you guys! I can't wait to get started!

Oh Judy... the ice cream barely makes it into the freezer! No worries about me having any left on Sunday night, to worry about on Monday! haha

And the popcorn, I've probably got just enough to make it through the weekend.

I'll see you guys on the check-in thread on Monday for sure! I won't back out, I promise.
