My name is Anne Marie but everyone has always called me Annie since I was a kid. I will turn 44 this year in October and I am the mother of 3 gorgeous kids. I have yo yo'd in weight for the past 17 years or so. I was always thin until after I hit 30. I dieted took off 50 pounds and was out of plus sizes for the first time in years about 2 years ago. Due to problems with hormones and blood sugar I have gained all that back plus about an extra 10 lbs. I am here to work on my weight, change my diet to suit the blood sugar issues, and make some new friends while I am doing all this. I am more than happy to help others out along the way as well. Please feel free to add me if you like.

Welcome Annie. You've come to the right place. You mentioned your blood sugar, so I assume you're either pre-diabetic or have diabetes. If that's the case there are many on this board that can share their menus and offer lots of advice. Clearly losing weight makes a significant difference,
Calories in versus calories out.
Good luck0 -
Not officially diagnosed with it yet, but I am seeing an endocrine in a few days. I have been to a medical weight loss clinic for counseling and have a diet now set up. I am very hopeful and would be very happy to hear tips and advice from others as well.0

Hey Anne Marie
Welcome)
My name is Catherine and I have just turned 30. No longer do I have the metabolism of an 18 year old and am now trying my hardest to lose the stone and a half I have gained. This may not sound like a huge amount but my biggest concern is that it keeps going up and soon just losing a stone and a half will be a distant dream. Anyway any support you need give me a shout as these things are always better to do with people!0 -
