But not new to trying to lose weight. I'm 58 and diabetic.... ick but because Im diabetic I have been given a new reason to lose the weight and get healthy. I no longer look at it as getting skinny, I look at food and think "is this going to raise my blood sugar?"Anyway, I heard about this site from a friend of mine so I'm pretty excited. Ive lost some already and really want to get to a healthy weight and get off my medication. :o) THAT would be lovely. I'll be back tomorrow and add more. Goodnigh

    Welcome, Sue,

    You've come to the right place. MFP has lots of great tools. If you want a support group there's a diabetic thread and a 50+ women thread.

    I find it best to log my food the night before.

    Take it one day at a time
    stay open minded to new ideas
    take baby steps
    drink lots of water :drinker: :drinker:

    if you work at this, you can do it.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
