in Introduce Yourself
I am 30 yrs old and I have more than 150lbs to lose, so I have a long and difficult journey ahead of me. I figured I would drop a message here and see if anyone else who has a lot of weight to lose would want to be buddies. Feel free to add me!

    Hello and welcome. My all time high weight was 364. In 1yr before coming here I today weight 316. Though 48 lbs is great I have such a long way to go. The best way I stay motivated is setting obtainable realistic goals. Looking at the big number is overwhelming. I know it took years to gain this weight and it is not going to leave overnight.
    You can do this! I have type 2 diabetes and an under active thyroid. Many drs have told me with those conditions I would be doing good just to maintain. Well I am determined to prove them wrong.
    I found a new Dr to treat my diabetes and since counting carbs and cutting way back on my insulin I am losing weight! Our goal is not just to lose weight but get off insulin altogether.
    Find your passion and do this for yourself. You are worth it!!!
    I am here for the long haul. Would love to be your new friend. Best wishes💕🤗
