    That's much easier to do when we know more about your goals. I've seen everything ranging from weight loss, to strength increase, to running, to cycling, and I think there was even someone who mentioned rock climbing that I came across.

    Support isn't just "go you, you can do eeeeeet", and it allows us to do a better job if we know what you want to accomplish.

    Goals: lose weight to help with my diabetes, I am currently 337 pounds, started out at 356. My ultimate goal would be to get down to 250.

    Just keep tracking the food. Hopefully you should start noticing a natural change to better food choices. Nutrition is 95% of the solution.

    After ten months and only seeing 19 pounds off, I can understand your frustration. I am not overly familiar with Type II Diabetes, though I have a few family members who are Type I.

    The best thing I could tell you is to make your diary public, and maybe make a post asking for help from other Type II sufferers who have made great progress. If you aren't comfortable with doing that, make it viewable by friends, and make a similar thread looking for people that have been combating it.

    Obviously, you have done something right, as you've lost nearly 20 pounds, but it never hurts to get advice from people who were once in the exact same boat that you are.

    Good man. The community here can be far more helpful than just the app itself, from what I have seen.

    That said, nothing beats doing some research yourself when something sounds...questionable. Best of luck to you, and give it hell.

    I have full confidence that you will be able to take the weight off. And posting here for support was a huge step in that process. Just keep on tracking your calories, and get in some exercise whenever possible and you will be well on your way!!! I never had type 2 diabetes. But I suspect at my highest weight I may have been pre-diabetic. Above all else keep your health in mind :) show your plan to your doctor and get him on board :) good luck, and just remember, that if you fall a thousand times and get up a thousand and one times your a success!!! :)

    my reccommendation would be to find some likeminded fellow mfp's who have similar goals and start weights so you can support each other!

    and keep your eyes on the prize!! 250 may seem like its miles away but every good choice, and every bit of exercise you do brings you closer to your goal!
