It has been a few years and a few surgeries but I am back at south beach. I am a 50 year old mom of three (all in their 20’s) who was laid off 2 years ago. I decided to use that as my sign that it was time to retire. I had lost 50 pounds with South Beach but tore the meniscus in my knee - that was 4 years ago and I am still having problems with both knees( the doctor says it is arthritis – not sure I totally agree) andthen found out I needed ankle surgery that was done 1 1/2 years ago. The best thing I can do for my joints is to get the weight off. I had some really great buddies the last and I am sure I will find some great buddies again this time.
