Greetings humans!
I am a normal bipedal being such as yourself... do not be alarmed.

So's about a year ago i go in for eye surgery and get weighed. Holy Cheese Jihad.. i'm pushing 395. I say 'to hell with that' and start walking my *kitten* off (literally!) I walk 3 miles a day and made it down to 330.
Thanks to a crappy winter i'm back up to 340 but walking daily again. Now to fight the food.

I am type one diabetic (type 2 is for pansies!) and the lantus i take causes weight gain. Go me! Because of my weight i must take more insulin wich in turns causes more weight gain.

So thats my story and why i'm here. So far i like the site a lot.

Yours in pudding,
ERK
