Joined after looking up the carbs in something. Excited about this concept and hoping it helps! At 35 and my lowest adult weight, I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic (the one that requires insulin for everything you put in your mouth) Ive gained 50 pounds since being diagnosed. Not blaming the diabetes, well yes I am, its scientific fact that insulin makes you hungry, hunger I had never felt before. I am now on some medications to suppress my appetite but would like to get off all the medications I can. I am 38, single mom of a beautiful (what mom says ugly??) kid. seriously, she is my light. I also have a really bad back and recently had major back surgery. I have been trying to just get dressed and showered each day, so my activity is low. Look forward to supporting others and hoping to be energized by the support of others. Wish you all the best of luck!
