Hello! I just joined a few days ago and have been giving it a thought to really get used to it. Today I felt it was my day to start and so far I did my workout. I am a big woman... 5' 11" and weigh 345 pounds. I've been heavy all my life and to be honest It was never a problem but now that I'm 43 my health is starting to deteriorate. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I really need to lose weight! I am from Aguadilla PR (west quite side of the island) and would love to meet some friends so we can all give ouselves support.

    Congratulations on deciding to take control of your health. Diabetes is a terrible disease and exercise and good nutrition is one way to help combat it. Best of success to you!

    Hello and welcome. Feel free to add me and some others. I am 23 5'2 and weight 187lbs. Last year my doctor told me I was a pre-diabetic so I am on a journey to lose 50 lbs.
