Hi everyone! I'm here because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure on 5/15/2015. I'm a 30 year old female who would like to have children eventually, and the risks that come with being pregnant and having the two diseases I have are just not something I want to deal with.

I'd also be lying if I said I didn't want my thinner and more fit body back. Shopping for clothes is much more fun when they actually fit!

This journey is a lot easier when facing with the support of friends, so I figured it was time I reach out to all of you!

    Hello! Everyone has a sort of AHA moment when it comes to wanting to lose weight, and yours is a great one! I have known many people who have lowered there blood pressure and completely 'cured' their diabetes with a healthy diet. While it doesn't always work that way it is possible. Good Luck on your journey!
