36, 100lbs to lose

So it finally happened...I went to the doctor for a normal checkup and found out that I’m pre-diabetic and have high blood pressure. The doc basically had a coming to Jesus talk with me and said if I don’t lose this weight, I’m dead. I still feel very raw and upset and emotional over all of it - feelings that are so not like me - but I’m trying to be positive and do this the right way. Anyone else who is just beginning this long road toward health, please feel free to add me - I’d love to give and receive some support along the way.
