Fat guy looking for support

Hi my name's Tim and I need to lose weight. Diabetes and high blood pressure have crept up on me and I don't like it. I am a coach and want it be an example for my players. I also like to have a good time. I'll do my best to be a supportive friend, but I am sarcastic and politically incorrect. Add me and let's shed these pounds!

Hey Tim!
Welcome to MFP! Great first step in taking back your health and being a good example for your players! Would love to give you support!0 -
This is a good place to start. What do you coach?0

Hi Tim,
You are starting with an advantage, you are already a coach--so if you turn around what you say to your athletes, and use it for yourself......there you go!!! This you can do.

Hi Tim...wishing you all the best as you begin your journey...I, too am a diabetic since the age of 8. I applaud you for wanting to change your eating habits and take control of your blood sugar levels...good luck! Lois0

You can do it man. I know it may sound a little silly but when I started out I stood in front of a mirror and told myself that I can do this; that it will take time; I didn't get fat overnight so I won't get skinny overnight; but it can be done. I do that from time to time to help keep me in that positive mindset and it's been a big help to me. I started out at 350 and am today at 301. All it took was making habit changes, being conscious of what and how much I was eating and doing yoga. If I did it I am confident you can to.0

Way to go! As you progress you will only be that much more of an example for the kids you coach. I will add you.0

I've been in your shoes, unsure if I had diabetes, but doctor said I was at high risk, but had high blood pleasure, being overweight causes so many problems from walking to sleeping having to carrying unnecessary weight around 24/7.
I'm over 60 days in, lost 15kg and starting to feel great but need more support myself, so feel free to add me, I'm always around.0 -
Hi Tim! I'm not sure that I can motivate you, I'm trying to motivate my husband as he has high blood pressure and his sugar was elevated last time he went to the Drs. But maybe you could give me a few tips to get him up off his a!!. I hear all the usual excuses, I work too much, I don't have any free time. He has time enuf to lay around watching sport & drinking wine. You can add me & maybe you can help me to help him. Good luck to ya! :flowerforyou:0

Welcome to MFP! I'll be here for you. I am currently being screened for diabetes myself and this is after having lost 32 lbs. since July 1st of this year. I am officially overweight now, obesity is behind me! I can sure use another mutual support partner in this journey. FR sent!
