:flowerforyou: Hi, I am 55 and just started back on My Fitness Pay. I had a lapse of about 7 months! Mad at myself for that. I think it started when I had to have knee surgery and couldn't exercise. I fell out of the habit of posting my foods. I do keep a written diary, since I have to watch my carbs, but I never really knew how many calories I was consuming. I am hoping to find a few friends who may be going through the same thing (diabetes) and we could encourage each other. I would love to lose 50 lbs. Anyone else out there like me????

    I have stopped adding friends because I already have too many, but I'll make an exception in your case, if you want, because I was in your shoes a year ago. I'm 51, was pre-diabetic and after losing 40lbs, I'm not anymore. I'd still like to lose another 20. We shall see!
    You CAN make a difference in your health by being more active and eating right.

    Type 2 here too. Add me as friend too if you like. Also you may want to look/join the group for Diabetic type 2's. There is some good info on that group site
