Large Marge

Hi there.
SO this is my first post because I am a bit technologically inept.
I started the SB diet in January of this year. My mom is on it with me, we both live here in Pullman WA. I used to be a skinny minnie, until I popped out two kiddos in two years (the younger turned 3 at Christmas time). Since then I have had a horrible time loosing any weight. I thought I was eating healthy, and last year this time I started working out and eating whole grains and stuff, but I only managed to loose ten pounds, which I gained back. So I finally relented and started to South Beach diet. I thought it was going to be terrible, and unhealthy, but I feel so great these days, and I have pretty much totally changed the way I eat(for life, I think). I have had pretty steady weight loss since I started and was only on stage 1 for the recommended two weeks. The first 3 days were the WORST! I had a terrible headache, and almost gave up because I felt so sick, but then it all went away, and I could feel myself getting full from the food in my belly, instead of the sugar and carbs flowing through my bloodstream. Then I got SO constipated (so for the real life tale there) but once things started moving again everything was good.
I just reached 30 pounds lost! All since January. I am feeling great, and have a lot more energy with my kids and everything else. I would still like to loose another 15 pounds, but I am feeling pretty great about what I have accomplished so far.
My daughter had her 5th birthday party, ad I had three bites of her carrot cake, and(not having had any sugar for months) I almost threw up, and I felt like I was drugged, YUCK. I couldn't talk right or get my thoughts together. Wow, I never knew how much sugar could effect you.
I have a lot of good recipes, which I will post here soon, fajitas are my staple. I love hummus, and anything grilled.
Yay for SB, yay for food, and yay for getting to skinny minnie again!
