New and ready for a change
 

hello im Tabitha im 28 years old and i weight almost 500lbs. I have always been over weight as a child and have tried different things to help me lose the weight in May of this year i was diagnosed with PCOS. I have high insulin and high testosterone levels. I really want to lose all of this weight before i become diabetic and before i die at a young age . I have started walking and am learning how to portion control i am thinking about doing the south beach diet and really hope that i can get this weight off before it gets worse. I do not have the book yet but hopeing to get it soon. looking foward to learning more and getting healthy.

No sad face - happy face - because you've decided to take charge and take steps toward a healthier life!

Hi Tabitha! Welcome to 3FC. Good luck to you on your journey. You've already taken the hardest step- realizing things need to change, and taking steps to begin the process. You can do it!! :cheer3:

Tabitha,
I have done South Beach, and I liked it a lot. I stopped that way of eating, though, and gained weight back, but if you enjoy meats and veggies and cheese you can really go far. Good Luck!!!!

Welcome Tabitha!!!
Congrats on making the 1st step to changing your life. I'm fairly new on the site myself but I wish you the best of luck.
One of my favorite quotes states that motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going. Here's to building healthy habits that will get us thru this journey!
