I'm a 51-year-old mother of four (two boys, two girls). My husband and I are on this life-changing diet together, although we're not really following the diet menus. We've just gleaned recommendations from the book and applied them to our lives (don't eat after 7 p.m., avoid simple sugars and "white" foods, etc.). I want to get down to my pre-baby weight of 142-145. I've been there twice since the birth of my second child, but couldn't maintain it (after baby #3 came along, then #4 at 9 lb. 12 oz.) and then I lost it over an 8-month period a few years ago, but gained the weight back after a car accident made exercising impossible. I'm very excited about You on a Diet. It has totally changed my perspective about food. For the first time in my life I'm eating to live rather than living to eat.
