Hello Sherry! I am a newbie here at 3FatChicks, but wanted to respond to your posting as we have a lot in common. I am 43, will be 44 in March. I have about 115 pounds that I need to loose. I have been a yo yo dieter off and on for the past few years. I have tried quite a few weight loss plans to no avail. My husband recently got some very bad news from the doctor. If he does not change his lifestyle habits he is bound for a major heart attack. So we have decided to make the changes together.
It sounds like you are off to a good start. I have decided to start us on the South Beach diet because it is heart friendly and has been known for lowering cholesterol. Hubbies is 7 times the normal limits (Triglycerides) plus he is a type 2 Diabetic.
Hope to hear more from you soon, keep up the good work!
