Hi there - My name is Sue and I am new here. I have type 2 diabetes and have to take synthroid for my thyroid. I have successfully lost about 40 lbs in the last 2 years. I have about 20 lbs more to go. My main problem is belly fat - I am pretty thin everywhere else. I am trying "Truth About Abs" now - the diet is very sensible and I am looking forward to weight lifting - something I have never done before in ernest. I used to run a weight loss clinic and have been on every diet out there I think. If anyone has any questions about them, just ask me! Meanwhile I am looking forward to meeting all of you! I think it is so much easier when you have people out there who support you!
