Hi, My name is Chris.

I am in my mid 40's, married and have 1 child. I am a Type 2 diabetic (diagnosed 12/27/08) with an A1C of 12 when I was diagnosed. I have been able to keep my A1C in between a 5.7 and 5.9 for the last year but it has taken lots of hard work from the standpoint of both exercise and what I eat.

Last summer I kind of "fell of the wagon" and have been struggling ever since. I have been looking for a site that I could use to make myself accountable. I learned about MFP from an application I downloaded for my iPod. It looks like maybe I have found that place.

Glad this is here and look forward to using the tools here and meeting others. I am following MFP on Facebook also.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Chris

    Hi Chris
    I'm new here too, just joined Monday. I've found the site so far to be very friendly and motivating. As far as accountability, I didn't realize until today that you're food diary is automatically private, but you can go into your settings and make it public to everyone or at least to your friends that you make along the way here. That may help with accountability. I know it will for me, lol. I edited mine today to make it public. Plus, you can get ideas for healthy good foods/recipes stuff from seeing other people's food diaries. Welcome aboard!
