I’m a 47 year old woman, who like many, has the problem of fighting middle aged spread. I’m insulin resistant, which causes me to do weird things with most carbs. I tell people I am the only one who can eat a potato and turn it into the equivalent of a candy bar! LOL. I’m using the South Beach Diet and I am exercising each day.
I would like to lose 35 pounds total. For my first week on the diet I have lost 4 pounds. :dance:
Good Luck to everyone!

Welcome to our merry band of misfits, Maribeth!
Maybe I should just speak for myself, hate to insinuate anyone else is a misfit.
Middle aged spread… my husband’s doctor called his weight gain “Dunlop’s disease” - as in the tire around his middle.
If we can’t laugh about it… what’s the point?!

Welcome! I know you can do it. South Beach is a balanced diet, from what I hear.
