Hi Everyone,

I'm a 46 year old graphic designer in Denver, Colorado.

Nearly ten years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes. It's an understatement to say the least that that realization has changed my life. Fortunately, I've endeavored to change my habits in those years to live a healthier lifestyle. Two years ago I began working out and I was doing great with loosing weight and for a year and a half I lost over 60 pounds, but was derailed by some issues I was having at the time. At the beginning of this year, I jumped back on the fitness wagon and so far it's been a challenge to lose weight! I workout five days a week and I eat pretty healthy for the most part (I do cheat now and then). I know that the scale is not a complete measure for weight loss so I've been using my clothes as a guage. I don't appear to be losing weight because I'm wearing the same clothes that I did when I started. I sought the help of a trainer early on and I just don't think it's working in regards to shedding the pounds. In addition, I've been so tired throughout this process. My trainer says that nutrition plays a huge role in weight loss, so I'm going to use MyFitnessPal and seek the help of a nutritionist to see if that will help me learn better nutritional habits and to be more accountable.
