In early 2005 I discovered I was Insulin Resistant. With the assistance of the wonderful book The Insulin Resistance Diet I made major lifestyle changes. I went-it alone for 4 years with good results, but found keeping it up alone getting progressively difficult. So when my church started a First Place 4 Health class I joined. I continue to follow the IR Diet, but have the support of others who are striving for a healthy lifestyle and better yet, do it both with God and for His glory. I look for helpful health and insulin-resistance information all the time, which is how I found SparkPeople. It's great to have yet another resource available. Over the course of these 6 years I have lost approximately 40 lbs. I would like to still lose another 20-25 lbs.
