I hope to add some friends here... I am sure I will need all of you to help me along the way in my long journey to slimdom... I have over 100 pounds to lose... Since 2-1-2013 I have lost 11 pounds and I am so happy about that... I finally realized that I have to take time for me! I have to plan my meals and create my menus and be devoted to my own health...

I am a diabetic and my sugar recently got up to over 200 A1C of 8.6... Last week when I went to my diabetes educator my A1C was down to 6.4 in 1 month, and I am estatic!!! I knew I had to change what I was doing or I was going to have to go on insulin... That in itself could quite possibly add another 50 pounds on my already overburdened body... NO WAY am I going on insulin!!! I am doing this and I am taking charge... I hope you will join me on my journey down this difficult road... I know there will be obstacles as I travel it, but I am ready!!! I hope you add me to your friends list :)
