Hi to all of you. I am hoping that for once I will be able to lose enough weight to reach my ultimate goal. I am diabetic, so it kind of poses a challenge anyhow, but I am not letting it get the best of me. I am hoping that this works. :)

    Welcome mom of three! This site has allowed me to stay (relatively) focused on eating healthy and very focuse on exercising regularly. If you can do some good exercise, it would be so good for your A1C and fantastic for your weight. Check out the message boards and use the search feature, as I'm sure there's probably some great threads about diabetes related issues. Kudos to you for joining up - you're on your way to feeling million times better and setting a great example for the kids! Please feel free to send me a friend request too, and best of luck to you!

    I forgot to mention...although I'm still falling in the "normal range", my A1C went up from Jan to March, and that was a definite "uh oh" moment for me! Here's to getting healthier:drinker:
  • Thank you to all that have replied. I have been reading the message boards just for the last half hour and have already gained some good insight. I can see now that I am soooo going to enjoy this. I think this is just the motivation to kick me in the butt. Haha.
