Looking for a support system.

Hi Erin! Good job starting and on your weight loss so far! It seems like a great and supportive community here!

Hey, we all need motivation and help. Shall we motivate and help each other? I have been on a weight management program since April 1st and to date have lost just over 44 pounds. I am on month 4 and am struggling to want to keep going even though it has helped with my pain issues and increased my energy and optimism. I have a whole slew of things I repeat to help me keep on keeping on - one of my favorites is "Think of the consequences if you do nothing!" Diabetes runs in my family big time - both my grandmothers had it, my mom, my brother, my uncle (dad's bro) and a couple first cousins...its on both sides of the family....my father had cancer and high cholesterol runs also in my family. If I want to see my 13 grandchildren grow up, I must be healthy...and have enough energy to keep up!
