Hi, I’m Linda, 67, retired Mum and Nanny living just west of Cardiff.

I’m a type 2 diabetic who is on a mission to get my HbA1c under 6.0.

Starting my journey yesterday 1st Feb 23 I already know it would help to have someone on my journey with me either face 2 face or virtually. I am focussing forward positively, not looking back or beating myself up for where I am today.

I’ve got this but would LOVE a buddy to enjoy it with me!

    Hi, Linda. My husband will be 68 shortly. I started MFP a little over four years ago and lost a lot of weight.


    He joined me here about a year and a half ago.

    Within six months, he’s lost enough weight his doctor took him off his diabetes meds. I’m hoping they’ll take him off BP meds at the next physical. His BP is good now, but his doctor is reluctant to take him off.

    He’s still in obese BMI range, but I’ve seen a massive improvement in his energy level, and overall happiness. He’s gone from XXL to L sizes.

    He does Tai chi, walks, aquafit, and “FitGen” classes, at least one class and a walk or two per day.

    He doesn’t participate as friends but this is me, sharing his “adventure” to better health. I hope you’ll find some tips or inspiration here:
