I am 42yrs old in Connecticut. My average weight (well desirable weight) is always about 130lb. I have always had to watch my weight because when I don't it just creeps up there. After 3 kids, ages 7,5, and 2 I refused to get on the scale. I would not even go to the dr.'s in fear that I would really find out the truth. Well, I finally did and the md recommended the sbd because my a1c level (glucose) was elevated along with my weight. So,here I am trying to lower my weight in hopes that my sugar level will drop as well.

After several years, I'm back on the south beach. When I was 2lbs away from my goal , I unexpectley became pregnan with baby #4. Well she will turn 3 in September. Back in February I realized it was time to get back on S/B. Again i hadn't been to the dr. I have even refused to jump on the scale. It obvious I have dropped some pounds, but I still don't feel where I should be or maybe where I would like to be. I'm glad to be back on S/B. I believe this will be a way of life for me.
