Hello,

I'm new to myfitnesspal looking around the community first, trying to find a few buddies to chat with, encourage, commiserate with and celebrate with.

I'm a 48 year old female from SW Lower Michigan and I'm type 2 diabetic, controlled with long lasting insulin. I've come a long way in regards to my diabetes journey, losing almost 30lbs in the last year mostly through diet. I started eating low cab and was able to drop one of my diabetes meds so I'm pretty proud of that.

Don't let the diabetes scare ya, my struggle is the same as anyone else's trying to lose weight, I just have an added twist I need to work around.

I'm excited to be here and I look forward to hearing from you!

    Hello,
    First, congratulations on the weight loss!

    I just started a month ago and have been only checking things such as my daily nutrition. Just yesterday did I finally explore the community tab and whatnot. I'm looking for some friends that are in the same journey.

    Love you for not using this as an excuse as is so common. I predict you'll do just fine.
