New to forum, not to dieting.....This time I have to succeed

Hi! My name is Jennifer and I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I was at my heaviest 2 years ago and have managed to take off 15 pounds, but have a whole lot more to go. I just found out that my insulin levels are too high so I guess this is insulin resisitance? I have been prescribed Metformin. I am also having issues with my thyroid. It really irks me to no end what I have done to my body. I have 2 precious little boys and I want to be here for them. So, because my doctor said I need to lower my carbs (ugh!!), I am going to start the South Beach Diet. This is a bit scary because I love my carbs! But carbs are what got me here in the first place and I don't want to become diabetic. So, I am taking the plunge! :dizzy:

Yay! Sounds like you got your plan ready to go, good luck! I've never done South Beach Diet, but there is lots of other beachers here you can chat with for support :)

Hi Jen, I've been doing the South Beach diet for two months now. I was a huge carb lover before. You will be amazed at how this diet stops your sugar cravings. I could lose very little on a high carb/low fat diet even a very low calorie one, but I've been losing steadily on SBD and I am not starving all the time. Good luck to you, I think you will have great success.
