Diabetes will not kill me !!!

SexxyMel

I have found out I have Type 2 diabetes 11/2014 I finally decided this year to work out and eat healthy. Its been a hard road staying on track but if I do this I can add some years to my life. I have two beautiful children 7 and 9 to live for and I am 37 years old 285lbs. My goal is too loose 100lbs to start and after that who knows. I have to work out my doctor said 5days a week 45mins each day. I am struggling to stay consistent but I am not giving up. Any encouragement exercise tips and just good people out there to motivate me please leave a message - Thanks Loves

Hi lovelies! I am pre-diabetic and have modified my diet to fight it. Still new to me (knowledge of it). I would be happy to give support!

Hi I am a diabetic as well. I need to lose at least 60lbs so add me as well!

We can do this and its good to know we are not alone

I would suggest that it's easier to stick with a good diet and exercise if you start by making small changes and adding on. Trying a massive overhaul makes it a lot harder to stick with. Good luck!

I was diagnosed last July and it hit me hard at first. I was determined to stay off meds so I changed my diet, started working out and lost over 80 pounds. My A1c went down to 5.0 and I was also able to stop my high blood pressure medicine. Today I'm still med free. It's a commitment but I'm determined. I'd say I'm in the best shape of my life at 45. Don't give up you're worth it!

That is great u did awesome that's been my goal and I did avoid a 2nd by getting my a1c level down but I am trying to get the consistency like u and drop major lbs to change my life for good. So proud of you , thanks for sharing- that's motivation!!!

I wish you well. It will be a tough road at times, but MFP can get you there. I had struggled with my weight forever and now I'm the same size I was in high school, and my glucose and a1c levels are pretty good. Take it a day at a time, and it will feel less overwhelming. O-H...

Thank you Seepersaud !!! I needed to read that this morning. I am staying positive and focused. one day at a time is helping me not not feel overwhelmed. Thanks for your comments
