in Introduce Yourself
I created my page about 5 minutes ago. I am 48 years old, and was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Actually that was the best thing that could happen to me. I have been so lax about my weight. I didnt want to give up my soda, etc... but now, i HAVE to or it can cause me big problems. I am planning to cut my calories, start walking , and give up the soda . I am looking for people that like to chat, that are positive (for the most part), good sense of humor..... and most importantly, that are going thru this journey as well. Please feel free to add me.. i look forward to getting to know you ;)
