Have Diabetic Neuropothy, mainly in my feet, and diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Saw doctor 5 weeks ago, and was told to lose weight. Went in there at 262 pounds. I literally started my diet the second I left the doctor's office that morning. I found this app somehow, and it has been a tremendous help to me.

To date, i have lost about 15 pounds. Its not a ton, but I do feel a lot better. I still have a long way to go though.

Friend request me, and we can all be losers together!

    This app rocks! However I have found that participating in the discussions and adding friends to your list to cheer you on and make suggestions is the best part of this site.

    Congratulations on your weight loss! That is an awesome amount of weight you lost. Good for you!

    About the journey being a long way off. Just look at it this way: You will eventually get to where your going if you continue to go in the direction of your destination. Even if sometimes you find yourself making a pit stop in the wrong direction. Make a U-turn and get right back on track.

    Good luck and enjoy your journey.

    It's great that you've started changing your eating habits John. Losing weight and getting regular physical activity are two really good ways to lower blood sugar levels. You're making a great start! ~Lynn /Glucerna
