Hello All,

I'm an older woman from down in Cajun Country, and I've been eating the good old fashioned Cajun Way, and boy does it show!! I'm a type II diabetic, and my doctor said that if I lose the weight, I could possibly get off the medication. I need to lose 70 pounds, and right now it seems like an impossible task in spite of the fact that I have a very physical job.

My biggest problem is that I'm in a truck most of the night, and I have to carry my food with me. That means prior preparation, and I don't have a lot of time for that, BUT, I'm willing to tackle this head on and get with it! I need serious encouragement!!

Thanks!!

    Hi, I just joined MFP myself about 3 weeks ago. It has really helped me so far by keeping a food journal. Having such easy access to the caloric values of food has made it easy to keep up with. My husband is doing it also and it has been helpful to us when we plans our meals ahead of time. We are keeping a lot of apples and oranges on hand to have for snacks. Good Luck!
