Hey I am Lindsay and want to introduce myself. I am 34 y/o with Type II Diabetes. I have struggled to lose weight for as long as I can remember. I used to be very active and since kids that's all changed. I love being outside, but when it's so hot I just want to veg on my sofa. I have not been able to lose weight in a few years due to the amount of insulin I am currently on trying to get my diabetes under control. I have NO self confidence and NO self control it seems most of the time.

I know I have to get this weight off to be me again. My kids are older and want to do things I am just physically unable to do.

I am ready to get this journey going!!!

I am lookin' forward to meeting new people who are taking this same journey!!!

Let's get this started!!!
