in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,
The picture on my profile is the picture of me at my heaviest. For some reason before I have started exercising, I started taking hydroxycut weight loss supplements and my appetite curved a bit and I have went down to 208.7. I understand weightloss supplements basically give you a temporary weight loss but people like me need just that to be able to encourage ourselves to lose weight. So now i am at square one, just walking. I am tired but i want to do more. I want to lose the weight, not to be skinny, but to be more healthy because I recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia (next step to diabetes). My sugars would drop and I will dive in to chocolates or anything that is high in sugar before I crash and pass out. I hope this works for me...i am just too young to go through this. I am a single mom of 3 children, work, school, and home life...how can i balance this out and still eat healthy? i loaded this application on my Google phone so i hope this will help me before i get any bigger.

    Hey Natyshia, I feel your troubles. I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia years ago before I became a mother. Walking every day is one of the best things you can do for this and protein is your friend. I have had lots happening lately so I have had to put my exercise on the back burner but I am a firm believer in exercising, lots of water and when I have the back bone, :D, no refined sugars. My weight at one point came close to 200, this was because of a lot of stress that was in my life at that time. Stress is as bad of an enemy to hypoglycemia as sugar is. I lost 45 pounds at one point and that is with a friend to help challenge me. I have been going on a merry go round with my weight lately but I am ready to try again. If you need someone to help you be accountable there are lots of wonderful people on this site, or I would be glad to help. Good luck! We were put on this earth to succeed, :D
