Call me Anne. I am 42 and have 2 boys and 2 girls. Last year i was in a better shape when i went back to school but when i graduated, all the test kitchens that i made for certain recipes had taken its toll on my self. I have noticed that people only likes you when you are in good shape but when you become fat, they make comments that hurt your feelings. That's the reason why i have decided to go into the south beach diet. And it'd do wonderful that i found this websiste through my unending surfing in the net. I like the people here, overweight or not, they gave me a warm welcome and encourgaing words. Thank you all!!
