well im a 26yr old female who was a pretty skinny person until i hit about 22. i gained about 50lbs in four years. i went to the doctor the other day and they found out that im prediabetic and i need to lose the 50 lbs i've gain. its hard because i work in a wing restaurant and theres nothing but fried food everywhere. but im on day 6 and down 7 lbs so for my healths sake let pray it keeps working. im on the south beach diet and im actually not minding it that much at all. with this diet i actually feel full most of the time. i wish everyone else luck as well i know its not easy at all to diet....
