Hi, my name is Heather . I'm very new here. I dont really know what to say. I've been struggling with my weight my whole life. Getting picked on and ignored as the fat kid all through school is no fun. I just recently was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes so now I'm trying to get into shape and get healthy to keep my sugar down. Because, at the moment my doctor doesn't have me on medication for my diabetes, and I'm trying to keep from having to be put on medication. I'm hoping that this site will help to do that. Talk soon

    Hi Heather,

    I too have joined MFP for health reasons-I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and so I'm trying to minimise the impact on my long term health by losing a few lbs and eating the right foods. I'm having to spend a lot of time on this site counting the calories but I have definitely felt the benefits and lost 6lbs already. I really don't want to go down the route of taking any medication if I can help it so really recommend this site!!!

    If you want to add me and maybe we can motivate and encourage one another as it's certainly not very easy when you're on your own. :happy:
