Following the South Beach Diet with a friend

Following the South Beach Diet with a friend is a great way to stay motivated while sharing tips and strategies. That's why the South Beach Diet Online offers the Beach Buddies feature, which allows you to pair up with other members to support each other in reaching your individual goals. Through our Beach Buddies program, you'll benefit from one-on-one support as you adopt a weight-healthy lifestyle, lose weight, and improve your health. As member Katie M. says, "Yes, it does take courage to keep trying after failing so much [on other diets], but I have gotten so much help from my Beach Buddies that it is becoming easier each day to stay with the program. We motivate each other and celebrate as we lose weight." To take advantage of this feature, simply fill out the brief "Buddy Profile." We'll match you with other people who share similar characteristics. For instance, are you looking for a walking partner? Someone in your neighborhood? With our geographic search feature, we can help you locate a Beach Buddy near you!

After we find potential Beach Buddies, it's up to you to introduce yourself to them by sending them an invitation through privately viewed "Buddy Mail." You are free to accept or decline invitations from Beach Buddies as you wish. If you decide you no longer want to participate in this feature, you can block or remove Beach Buddies at any time.

Tap into this resource -- which is FREE for all South Beach Diet Online members -- and see what the Beach Buddies program can do for you. As member Size10ToBe writes, "I am finding it is very helpful to talk to and hear from other people following the South Beach Diet®. I think the support is going to be one of the key components for the South Beach Diet® to become a lifestyle change for me."

The South Beach Diet program features delicious and nutritious meals and snacks -- even dessert! It's easy to follow, too. Just see what our members have to say about their successes. They're losing weight, looking great, and improving their health -- while continuing to enjoy scrumptious foods!

It's been a year since I started the South Beach Diet , and the results are better on this program than anything I've ever tried before. I now eat right and exercise, and I couldn't be happier with myself. This lifestyle change now puts my weight 1 pound less than my lowest ever!

Today I am on to Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet . Here is what I've lost so far: all my sugar cravings, a large portion of my appetite, and 8 pounds! Most weight-loss plans I tried in the past did not last for more than a few days because of my large appetite and sugar cravings. This time, I know I am going to make it. Good luck to all of you who are just starting out -- you really can make it with the South Beach Diet !

I am sitting here, wondering where the year has gone. At least I know where the 40 pounds I lost on the South Beach Diet have gone… far, far away! I was actually feeling a little depressed over the weekend, and then I started looking at pictures of myself from last summer and, oh my gosh! My arms alone have gone down almost 4 inches. Best of all, I am so much healthier, happier, and more aware of the choices I make for myself.

I just moved on to Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet after losing 11 pounds! It's difficult to begin to describe this wonderful feeling of accomplishment. I'd really like to thank all of the fantastic people I've met on the message boards who have helped me get this far. Thank you for being courageous enough to share your obstacles and successes. Thank you for your willingness to support one another and send encouraging words. Thank you for the reassurance that this choice is for me no matter what. Keep up the fabulous work, and I look forward to sharing this wonderful feeling with all of you in the future as I continue with my transformation.
