Hello everyone!

Hi I'm Staci and I'm new here. I have about 150 lbs to lose to get to a somewhat ok weight (for my height I am supposed to weigh about 130 lbs but I don't think I will ever weigh that little). I am starting my journey because I have T1 diabetes and am very obese. Up until this point (when I have finally reached rock bottom about my weight and am the most frustrated) I have neglected my diabetes. I did not take my insulin and did not watch what I ate. My doctor was finally honest with me and told me straight up that if I want to live and be around for a long time I had to start taking care of myself. Thus starting my journey.

Oh, and I am looking for friends to help me stay on track. Bonus points if you are diabetic like me. The more friends the merrier!
