I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 44 yr old wife and mother of two, a son 23 and a daughter 21. I've been married for 27 years. I have always worked out and at one time was an aerobics instructor! Then I had a partial hysterectomy and from that PCOD was born. Now, I've nearly doubled my previous body weight and just cannot seem to lose it. This is new for me. I've tried all the usual tricks and potions, but for the first time I'm trying South Beach diet and walking. Tips and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
