Hello, I am 55. diabetic, and find it impossible to lose weight. I am looking for a few friends with at least 50 pounds to lose and who are willing to share their ideas.

    Welcome to MFP. :) I always felt weight-loss was truly daunting, so I created an account here and just tracked my food. I wasn't trying to lose weight at first. My only goal was to figure out how much I was eating. I was shocked at first at how many calories I was eating each day. Eventually, I started 1. being completely honest in my food log and 2. making substitutions and different eating decisions. MFP really opened my eyes and helped me lose 70 pounds. I've managed to keep it off for 2 years at this point.

    You CAN do it - I have faith in you. :)
