Hi Everyone,

I am attempting a weight loss and life style change for life. I am insulin dependent diabetic and desire to lose 50 pounds. I am currently weighing 202. Are there any other diabetics out there that are struggling with their weight due to medications? Can anyone give me insight on what has worked for them. congrats to all for the changes you are strving to make and have made.

    Hello :smile:
    I have been diagnois with 'Pre-diabetes' - 6.4 was my bloodwork when they came back. I was gettin' these wicked headaches/mirgaines. I have cut out all caffeine related items, use to love timmies triple/triple.
    I have started (power 90) or P90 as a workout, each session to start is about 30mins...I find it easy on the body. I use to do P90X, but havin' Rheumtoid Arthritis, here in the winter it reeks havoc on my joints.
    Another than that - I walk outside, if not nice out, I walk around the mall...You may add me as friend. I'm also new on this site.
