Back to stay... And Succeed!!!

NO MORE EXCUSES. I've been here before, but, I've been off and on for a while now. Now, it's time to get back on track and stick with it. Which I've already started. I've had 2 decent days. The only problem I've really had is being UNDER on calories and being over (or too high) on carbs. It really hasn't equaled out... but, I'm working on evening it out. I'm also starting back up with my exercise and weight lifting plans.

Ok... so, starting over a bit... My name is Amber. As I said, I have been on MFP for a while... but, I have been off and on for a while now. While I was sticking with it exceptionally well about a year ago, I lost about 73 to 75 pounds. I have now gained about 10 to 12 of that back, and fluctuating back and forth between a couple of pounds here and there. I was diagnosed with Diabetes on March 4, 2011, and reversed the symptoms. I've been trying to deny that I have it lately. Or, I really just haven't been paying attention to it. Well... a few nights ago, I ignored it so much, that I went over the edge. My sugar shot up to about 300, which wasn't as high as it could be, but higher than it's been for me... and I DIDN'T LIKE IT. Let's just say that it's a feeling I NEVER want to happen again. Having to work on top of that sugar high was definitely not a good thing. So... needless to say... this change is about more than my weight. I want to be healthy. For me. Not for anyone else... but, for me. I want to be able to enjoy life without being sick all of the time. I simply just want to live. Period!!!

Now... I have a great group of friends who have stuck with me from the beginning, and have never left. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. But, a few more definitely couldn't hurt. AND... I'm NOT here for the number of friends. I'm here for the quality of friends and support. So... if you're active on here, please head my way. I'd love the support... and I will work at supporting each and every one of you too.
