New and need encouragement!

Hello! I'm new and I need encouragement! I can't do this on my own and needs lots of accountability and encouragement! I've managed to get of my meds for type 2 diabetes, but this is a hard journey!

    Hey! Motivation is great in the weight loss journey, but the most important thing is to motivate yourself. Stay true to yourself, and don't forget this is a lifelong journey. Don't 'diet' to the point where you don't ever eat your favorite foods. You may lose weight in the beginning, but it will be harder to keep it off in the long run. I wish you the best of luck on your journey, and great job getting off the meds for diabetes, that's a great accomplishment! It is a hard journey, but you just got to get into a new lifestyle and it makes it so much easier!

    Just take one day at a time. If you have a bad day dont give up just start again the next day. I always try to leave some calories at the end of the day so im not tempted to cheat x
