I am new to MFP, but not new to trying to lose weight. I am 5'9 228 lbs 27 y/o/f. I wish to get down to 150 lbs. I am also type 1 diabetic. For many reasons, I need to do this. I have tried and failed... many times. I do not have my actual picture up because I feel free if I don't. I feel as if I can say anything or do anything without a picture for someone to recognize me from this area. I need someone to help keep me straight and let me have it when I get off track. Please, feel free to add me.

Make a list of why you want to do this. Put it where you can see it everyday. Then look into a diabetic cookbook and come up with alternatives you like. Do a little excerise everyday. even if its only 10 minutes. Its important to keep moving. Don't do cookie cutter routines if that's not you. Get up and dance, go for a walk, whatever gets you moving. I am a 30 yr old mom. I gained a lot of weight when my daughter was born. I had very low energy. I have gotten up and started moving even when I don't feel like it. After a month of this, I've lost 15 pounds and my energy is way up. I hope you keep it up. Rooting for you!0

Hi, I'm a 51 year-old woman from VT who loses weight at the speed of a turtle! That said, I'd be happy to encourage you in your journey, whether that's a woot woot or get yer butt moving! Feel free to add me.0

I am fairly new, but I was lucky enough to get involved in some challenges here.
Here is one I am just starting. It is amazing how having to report to people influences your behaviour!
