Hi, my name is Sherry and live in SW Florida. I have been lurking around the message boards for awhile soaking up all kinds of good advice and decided it's time to introduce myself. I have about fifty pounds to lose. I have been working on good eating and exercise habits for the last three months, but now it's time to get serious about the weight loss. Now I need to get out the measuring cups and spoons and dust off the food scale. I have type 2 diabetes and know how much better my blood glucose would be if I just lost the weight. I am feeling strong and highly motivated right now, and want to stay committed. I would love some friends to join me on this journey.

    Hi Sherry I'm Vada. I have about 40 pounds to lose and am determined as well. I want to have this weight off by June 10. It has been so hard because I sabotage myself. If I do well I eat, if I don't do well I still eat. I am slowly learning portion control and not having certain foods in my house like chips and dip!!! I will send you a friend request and we can motivate each other.
