Hi, I'm Ariel and I recently joined this site on recommendation from a friend of mine. 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and since then I've committed myself to changing bad habits and lifestyle. I've lost 18 lbs in 3 weeks (which I think isn't healthy?) and gotten my blood sugar levels within range all by portion control, low carb/low added sugar diet, and cardio exercise...oh and my diabetic medication :) .

My motivation for it all besides wanting to live is that I have a newborn niece that I want to see grow up. I don't have any children of my own, but she's a big reason why I'm focused and committed to change.

I guess that's all for now, I better get back to work!
