Hello everyone! I am 36 years old and found out about 2 weeks ago that I am diabetic. That really has motivated me to get healthy. I have already stopped drinking anything but water and have been eating healthy. I have quite a bit of weight to get to an ideal weight. I am on here looking for support and motivation. Please feel free to add me as a friend. We can support each other. Thanks!

    I started seriously getting myself together after the 3rd yr being diagnosed pre-diabetic & high cholesterol. The kicker was being put on a blood pressure med because it started creeping up. I so hate taking pills & I'm trying to get off them! As to the blood work? All good now & I just plan on getting it better! Good luck!! :happy:
