I've been lurking off and on for a while and decided it's time to jump in. Sounds like a great place to get/give support for losing weight and I hope I can fit in and get involved!

Welcome, Debi! I'm pretty new here myself, but it's a great place to find motivation and encouragement. I'm sure you'll fit right in!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I'm a mom of two cuties, work part time and full-time music director at our church. I have about 85-95 lbs. to lose. I haven't been heavy all my life...started gaining in college and then REALLY gained after each pregnancy. I'm sooooo tired of being tired and unhealthy!

I was diagnosed with insulin resistance in June. I had started a "life-style change" on March 1st..eating healthy (using the "Eating For Life" cookbook - awesome!!)and exercising faithfully 4-6 times every week. As of May 1st - 2 MONTHS later - I had only lost 2lbs. I was very upset...went to the doctor in June and he said the insulin resistance is the culprit and started me on glucophage. Problem was I was so frustrated and pretty much being a pouty brat I just couldn't get in the groove of eating right and working out again. Well, now I've gotten my "groove" back and have been working out for a few weeks. I'm still a little wobbly with the eating, but getting better.

Anyone else out there with insulin resistance?

Sorry this got so long! Thanks for reading... =0>
