Well I have been around this site for over a year. I have been trying to lose weight for over two years. I always fail. And Lately it seems like I can't make it past DAY ONE! OUCH I know! Super long way to go when you can't even get though day one!

I have been recently diagnosed as a newly onset diabetic. I know now that its a matter of life or death if I lose weight! I never thought when I made this count and used my screen name just how true it would become! Anyhoot...I have a long way to go needing to lose over 60 lbs. I'm sick of failing and I wanna show everyone I can do this!

So heres to me and a fresh start to the new me that will be soon to follow!

    Welcome back :) I know what you mean about not getting past day 1. I lost 35 pounds on WW 9 years ago and kept most of it off but then gained 40 pounds suddenly. When the dr's office told me I was pre-diabetic and I needed to lose weight, I actually gained on the eating plan. So I quit trying. And got depressed at my high weight... and watched my blood pressure climb, my blood sugars climb, my cholesterol climb... yet I couldn't get even one day of exercise in on a regular basis. Then a friend told me about MFP and I love it here. I finally feel like I can do this again ~ but only with the support of my online friends. I blew it today (my daughter's birthday celebration) but most days I can stay within my limits and I love the days I actually get exercise in because then I can eat more normally. I hate logging in daily, but I love it too. LOL! :wink:

    Welcome back and good luck. I have really had such a wonderful tool as MFP. If you follow it you will succeed. You just really need to decide to do it.

    Wow, I am so impressed to read you've decided to come back here. You can do it I know!! Just imagine yourself at that wedding next year, showing off your 'new' figure!

    Great that you're looking the diabetes in the eye and are going to lose weight especially for that. There's no way you want to be insulin dependant!

    You have to be strong for yourself - this is no game and I'm sure you're going to make it!

    I only joined a couple of months ago but am still so impressed with the support I get here. Also, I just love the way it works and even moreso - it's free!!! I have tried WW about four times and each time I fell by the wayside but there's no way I'm going to drop out now.

    Thinking of you XXX
