Hi everyone! Kathy here age 51 and am a type 2 diabetic and have hypertension. I am coming back for the 3rd time and am looking for as much support as I can get. Being a drop out 2 times already makes me feel bad as I gave up on myself. Some had to do with time and not having the time to always get on this site but I realize if I can get on facebook at least 1 time everyday I need to make this first.. The other was getting off track for a short bit and being embarrased to come back a failure. So in the end it became more excuses.

.I need to lose 1/2 my body and I need to do it for me. Yes I am tired of the stares, comments and just plain feeling so embarrased to be out in public but I need to do this for me to enjoy my family for many years to come. Having lost my mom at the age of 22 I will not do that to my kids. I am going to fight!! Please if you are interested in being friends I really need the support.:drinker: Looking forward to sharing this new life style with others...:heart:
