Hello everybody, found this cool site and found it to be very helpful in my journey to a better more healthy life. I started my lifestyle change on new years day this year and tipped the scale at 296lbs. I have always thought that I would NEVER get to 300lbs, but there I was. As of today, my first entry into the message board of this wonderful site I am down to 243lbs, on my way to 150, my goal. Looking forward to any help or advice you wonderful folks can offer. I am diabetic and sometimes diets are very hard for me to do, with having to monitor blood sugar and all. However I want to live a long healthy life and I know losing the weight is necessary for that to happen. So I want to drop a total of 146lbs, and am always looking for advice and guidance from those of you who have had great success and are diabetic!

Many thanks!

Woody:smile:

    Congratulations on getting started. I started at 275 and was already down to 220 when I started MFP. It will only get easier now that you've found this site and the support that will help you. My goal is similar to yours, I want to be about 140 which is about half the original me!
