I am a 33 year old wife and mother who has struggled my whole life with weight. I have been on every diet program imaginable since I was 12. I am currently at my heaviest weight ever and was just diagnosed with diabetes. I have a very active 2 year old that I would like to see grow up. I finally have the motivation I have been lacking most of my life and hopefully the support I have needed as well. This site has been great for my sister and I am looking forward to meeting the new and healthier me.

    You can do it. I have PCOS which can lead to diabetes, and it causes weight loss to be very difficult. This site is wonderful and you will find others that have the same issues and will tell you what will help. Welcome to MFP!

    Hello,

    I joined about a week ago, tried other diets years ago. I was at my highest weight ever at the beginning of the year and decided to do something about it. I like this site and think it is what I was looking for to add to my program of weight loss. Not much to report yet, except I did have an initial success of 6 lb. loss.
