    I have already lost about 20 lbs . I hate counting carbs and watching everything I eat. Todat was not a good day. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

    welcome, this site is great, it helps you become aware of what you are putting in your body and exercise as well. Buddy up with people for motivation. It helps.:heart:

    Welcome! I have learned A LOT since joining MFP. For the 1st time in my life (I have always been heavy) I honestly believe I can lose the weight I have been wanting to lose for so long. My husband is also a diabetic...I wish I could get him on the MFP wagon, but he is content letting his meds (including insulin shots) do all the work for him. And as ana70, buddying up with others really helps.

    :flowerforyou: Welcome! :flowerforyou: One of my biggest fears about being overweight is Diabetes and thats one , of many, reasons I'm on here. I know with all the support, we can all get to a healthy weight and hopefully live a healthier life style.
    Good luck with your weight loss, and remember, we'll all in this together.:smile:
