Hi, New to My Fitness Pal

dreamn708

Hi my name is Marcy. I have been trying for a very long time to lose weight but seem to be going in the opposite direction until I started using My Fitness Pal. I have Type 2 Diabetes among other health issues. I have tried everything to lose weight! Using my fitness pal and tracking my food and calories, I have finally begun to lose weight… after almost 3 months of not losing anything this last month I lost 10.8 lbs. I was so excited. I have no support around me, just people who make derogatory statement and comments at me. I have been my own motivation. It’s has been very difficult. I debated rather or not to join this community but I need support and motivation sometimes. I am a mother of 4 adult children; 2 have significant others and children of their own, 1 has an intellectual disability and I have guardianship over, and my youngest who graduated high school, spent a year in college quit college and is not trying to figure out her place in this crazy world. I have a lot on my plate and feel stressed a lot of the time. I try meditation but doesn’t always help. Anyways, for now that’s all I got to introduce myself! My kids and grandkids are my world!! I want to be around to see them have their lives and grow into the amazing people they have become!!
