in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Alicia. I am a type 2 diabetic and have been having a lot of health problems lately and im just tired of not being happy with the way I look. I want to lose the weight for health reasons and to make MYSELF feel better. I am married to a wonderful man and he has just joined too. Our good friend suggested this site and has been an awesome support! I have a hard time sticking with things like this especially if I don't have anyone to push me or have anyway of getting motivated. I'm planning on turning that around and not having to rely on anyone or anything to have the motivation I need.

    Welcome!

    MFP is a great place where you will find a lot of great support! Make lots of friends - they are key to keeping you motivated!

    Also - the forums are a wealth of information. I strongly suggest reading the sticky notes at the top of each category. Also, use the search function - just about every topic under the sun has been covered and you'll glean a lot from Search.

    Good luck to you on your journey - you've taken the first step so now keep putting one foot in front of the other!
