I am looking for a buddy to communicate with that can motivate me and help with advice about diabetes, excercise and food. I started at 203lbs and have now lost 23lbs since May 10th. My goal is 135-140lbs. :smile:

    Hi! I'm 41, diabetic and over weight as well. I don't know how much help I can give you, as you have lost more than me, though I just joined in June. Feel free to add me as a friend, and we can do this together :flowerforyou:

    Wow, that's almost too much weight loss n a short period of time. How are your blood sugars doing?

    Are you on insulin, oral medication or diet to control your blood sugar levels?

    I took myself off of my metformin about two weeks ago to see what my sugars would be like now that I am working out and watching my foods and I am in a good range without the meds.
    I'm eating 5-6 times a day and cutting alot of sugars out.

    I'm also diabetic and am now able to control it with my diet and weight loss alone. My glucose levels were in the 300's in Oct 2009 and now run consistently in the 80's. You can do this. I sent you a friend request:smile:
