in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm Leah and I just started this today after geting a bad report at the doctors yestersday. I am 44 and the way its going I am headed right down diabetic alley. My whole family is diabetic and on medications; I don't want to end up that way. I found this app on my for my phone and the saw the online for the computer. This is really a helpful tool for me as my computer is always sitting on the counter at the bar. I have figured out my total calories for the day including my dinner meal that is in the crock pot now. I am looking to loose 112 pounds total but my short term goal is to loose 20 ilbs before my next doctors appointment in Dec. Wish me luck!

    feel free to add me as a friend!! I have lost 115lbs. I started at 303.4 - and I'm currently 188.8. It has taken hard work, and I made a complete lifestyle change..... On a side note, I am OFF my metformin (for diabetes), as well as cholesterol & high blood pressure medications. I now have the heart rate and blood pressure of an athelete! So anything is possible. ;) I am currently training for a half marathon.

    Leah,

    Hang in there girl I am new to this change in my lifestyle as well. I have completely changed the way that I eat and in 60 days lowered my triglycerides over 110 points and overall cholesterol 50! You have to do it for yourself!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world and if you want to add me as a friend I will be more than happy and honored to give you motivation!
