Hi. I'm Ally a 55y/o sparker since Oct 13, 13. Yo/yo'ed for years. Found out a lot about myself. Severe obstructive sleep apnea. Now on a CPAP machine that may have saved my life. Insulin resistant(metabolic syndrome). Watched my good blood work go down hill. Right now I'm off wheat and lowering my carbs. The scale is going downhill again. I am committed to my health. What seems to be working for me is no wheat, lower carbs and regular exercise in conjunction. Good luck to everyone on your journey. We are in it together! Ally
