i see you..........well, ya cant miss me. iim a big hefty 300lb, and today is the day i say goodbye to that 300lb me and start my healthy living.
hi there, my name is tracey. im bipolar and i help out on a funfair. im the big lady in the yellow hook a duck that is always shouting, and the bubbly woman who makes a joke of my weight. well now, im fed up of making jokes and its time to get serious. i take quetiapine, which sadly has a side effect of weight gain, and on top of that i have type 2 diabetes and an underactive thyroid.
im gonna take things slowly and sort my life out, hopefully with your help too.

    Hello Tracey and welcome to MFP! You are taking the right steps to taking control of your life. I am proud of you for doing this. I too have diabetes and can say that since starting this journey, I've managed to lower my sugar levels. I had to stop taking one of my diabetes pills as it was making me have water retention and most fays I feel like I'm drowning from within. Because I had to stop taking one of my medications, I had to incorporate exercising more and that means getting on the elliptical or bicycle at least 5 times a week for 60 minutes each time, It was tough at the beginning but the more you do it the better and becomes a habit your body shortly starts craving for when you don't do it. I have gone down 2 dress sizes from a 16 to a 12 since I started logging. I've been only here about 50 days. I hope I can motivate you and I know you can motivate me as well and I always welcome people with good sense of humor. I'll send you a request and if you wish, please feel free to accept it. Good luck to us and I know you can do it! :flowerforyou:
