Hi there,
I think reading Shell's story is a GREAT place to start, she is a real inspiration because she did manage to lose a really significant amount of weight in a HEALTHY way.
One of the most important things is going to be exercise. It will be beneficial for your weight loss, but also for your IBS.
One of the good things about going off of something like the South Beach diet is that by eliminating things like yogurt and cheese you are helping your tummy, and taking some potentially high fat foods in your diet.
You can still eat fruits and vegetables, just have to find some creative ways of preparing them so that your tummy isn't bother.
You don't have to eat all carbs, but carbs are your fuel and they are important for long term weight loss. Eating soluble fiber before more "risky" foods will protect your tummy and if eaten in moderation should be no problem for your weight.
Good luck!!
