Hello all! I am type 1 Diabetic for 21 years. Reality hit me that I need to lose some weight especially having this disease and having a few scares such as "Peripheral artery disease, high cholesterol etc.. I have been at it for 25 days. I have dropped 7.9 pounds! It's not much but, my goal its 8 pounds a month (2 pounds a week). So, to say the least, I'm super excited that I'm crushing my goals! I'm only 4'11 so my calorie intake per day is very low -1200. I'm not perfect by any means and there is days I mess up but I'm 100% ok with that. I don't want to deprive myself. Sometimes I just want the piece of pizza or I want to enjoy a nice dinner with my husband without having to worry! Even not being perfect, I'm still reaching my goals and I'm so happy! My overall goal is to lose 45 pounds! Seeing everyone's success stories really helps motivate me. So, even though my is little, I thought I post my story so far Keep up the good work everyone!
