Motivation needed... Recently diagnosed w/ insulin resistance :(

I've struggled with my weight for pretty much my whole life.. I've tried EVERY diet, pill, and shake possible without any results. I'm very active and LOVE to workout so its been very frustrating!!! On top of that I was recently diagnosed with insulin resistance.. I lost my father to diabetes so losing weight is not an option its a MUST!!! I hope that MFP can be a positive aid to my journey and will appreciate any and all motivation possible!

Thank you and God bless

    Friend me. I'm in the same boat. Diagnosed in July and after the first two weeks of checking my blood sugar am now always under 120 and most days under 115. You are right, its now a must to control the eating and lose weight. Also blood sugar lower if I exercise more. We can and will do this!

    My mother has diabetes and I tend to follow her health tendencies so understand your concerns. Logging food has made a big change in what and how much I eat. I am sure MFP can help. Welcome and good luck.
