HI! I am new to 3FC and discovered this site while looking for South Beach recipes.

The reason for me trying the South Beach diet is that I have PCOS and need a low carb diet since I am insulin resistant but newly diabetic. I finally made the decision today when my vision was acting up because of a blood sugar drop from not eating all day and being in the heat. The other reason that I want to make this lifestyle change is for my 9 year old daughter. I don't want to be a "skinny" mom, I want to be a healthy mom for her and to teach her healthy eating habits (when she is at her dad's she does not eat well).

So here I am!

Heather

Welcome Heather, Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one you like that fits your needs, and just post to join. Specifically, you might try both the 'South Beach' and 'Dieting with Obstacles' sub-forums.
