edited January 19 in Introduce Yourself
I turned 20 in September & realized my body has changed, I cant eat anything I want anymore and be skinny :( (sad right?) I also have type 1 diabetes, which has taught me a alot about how my body reacts to different foods, how my friends play a huge part in how I eat. (good or bad!) I dont really watch carbs because I'm on a sliding scale for insulin intake. Which means I can basically eat what I want, I just have to have insulin to cover it. Which has worked in the past, my diabetes is great :) BUT that doesnt help my weight. I have decided to be brave and watch calories also.

I currently weigh 144 and am 5'2 at my smallest I was 125 which could be considered my goal weight. I just want to be healthy and gain some muscle. I dont really care about the number on the scale looking back at me, as long as I can see my progress in my body.

enough about me... I just want cool, encouraging friends to help me through my journey.
