I live in a smallish town in South Australia called Mount Gambier, population approx. 25,000.

I have struggled with weight most of my married life, going up and down..or in and out and have referred to myself as the accordion woman. I was diagnosed as insulin resistant around 20 years ago and have kept diabetes at bay, but have let my weight creep up again to 83kgs (183lbs).

So here I am....like so many others...overweight and hoping for a miracle or magic pill, but knowing that only time and consistency will achieve a return to healthy weight.
