    I have over 100lbs to lose. I started this time in November and made a deliberate choice to let go over the holidays. Just started back about two weeks ago. I think my food diary is public, although I'm not all that creative with food. I'm not a 'clean' eater. I have found that not restricting any particular foods works best for me. I'm just careful about portions and calorie intake vs. activity. I am logging daily so feel free to add me if you'd like.

    What's wrong with a large friend list? My support comes from private messages rather than a generic "like" while scrolling down my News Feed...

    Hi my name is Monica;

    I joined last year in March and for about 3 months I was pretty active on here. Then my posts tapered off and finally stopped. I've managed to maintain my A1C at 6.3 for two years with just the pill, which is good but I haven't really lost any weight. I made a lifestyle change today and went to a gym. I have a personal trainer for the first 2 sessions and then I am on my own. But if I reach a plateau or need more help I can get it from him. Today he only took me through 1/2 a work out, but when I see him again on Wednesday he will be putting me through the full work out. I felt good after the work out, a little winded and wobbly but not bad. He forewarned me that I will be hurting tomorrow, but as I write this I am already feeling achy. I will work through this and can use all the moral support I can get. I'm 50 years old but will turn 51 in March and I love spending time with my nieces and nephews going geocaching and having outdoor fun but don't like feeling winded afterwards. Today I weighed 230lbs and I see my doctor on February 3 for my quarterly check up, I haven't lost any weight since the last time I saw him. But now I can tell him that I've joined a gym and I hope to be under 200 or close to it when I see him again in May. I'm only going to weigh in when I go to my workouts and will post my weight on those days, but I will post my food diary and exercise diary every day. I have a Wii and will try to play that on my off days, so I can get some exercise in. Looking forward to chatting, encouraging and cheering others on as well as getting support and cheers from others.
