Finally brave enough to post

Hi all! My name is Cathy and although I'm not new here, I'm new to the message boards. I joined because I'm looking for some inspiration and encouragement on this journey. I have rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes II and need to have a healthier lifestyle. There are so many wonderful people who've been successful, thank you all for sharing your stories :smile:
