in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My name is Elizabeth. I started to eat differently about 4 weeks ago by counting my carbs, eating a balanced diet throughout the day and staying away from refined sugar. Today I went to the doctors and found out I had lost 11 lbs in 4 weeks because of my change in eating...now here's the stinker! I also found out that I have diabetes...she told me, though, that I can control it with diet and exercise. Now that's a relief because there is something I can actually do about it. So I logged back on myfitnesspal.com and decided to keep track of everything here. It helps me alot to count my carbs each day and average it out for the week. Okay, that's why I am here...
