New in NC!

I also live in NC:) No children yet...but would love to get back in shape before I get married! My boyfriend is overseas and hasn't seen me since last November of 2010! I was 190 pounds when he met me! That is the most I've ever weighed! Turns out that my iud and other medication caused my to develop an interactive thyroid! Yikes!!! The hard was getting motivated with the South Beach diet and exercise...because no matter how well I ate...and worked out...I kept gaining weight! Now I am on thyroid Meds and down to a fluctuating 160-170lbs. That's without a routine exercise program! So...I am definitely ready if you are:) This is the best diet in the world by far! Not sure if you ever tried it before...but it will make you feel healthier within the first few weeks! Your mood and energy will improve and you will have to slow down for the rest of the world to catch up with you! Lol...I sound like a spokesperson...lol...anyway...if you motivate me...I would be more than happy to support you as well:)
