I came about this site on accident as an advertisement on my phone yesterday. I am totally in love with it! I like the accountability it gives along with the support if needed/wanted.
I suddenly dropped 30 lbs in 2 months. Went to the doctor to find out I am severely diabetic. I have gone through some intense stress in the last 13 months that just ended. In the past I would try to lose weight and lose some here and there then celebrate and never go back. This time the sudden weight loss though not in a good way has allowed me to want to continue to lose.![:smile: :smile:](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
So here I am and excited to be here and continue going.
