Hi - I am new to this board and wanted to introduce myself.
I am 8 weeks post-partum (1st baby - a sweet little boy). I put on a huge amount of weight during pregnancy & also developed gestational diabetes. There was some suspician that I might have been insulin resistant for many years - and this was confirmed today. I have "pre-diabetes," for lack of a better term.
Although I am a lifetime WW member, I have never had to lose such a significant amount before - it was always 15-20 pounds or so. Now I need to lose 70!
I am not returning to WW because it simply does not follow the rules as my Dr. set them forth: no white flour, sugar etc.
The SBD seems perfect for what I can eat at this point. I have read the book quickly (need to look it over again for more details).
Anyone else here insulin-resistant? I would be interested in hearing about your experience with this WOE.
Otherwise - I'll simply leave it at "hello, everyone."
