in Motivation and Support
I am new to this site and just looking for Motivation and support. To tell you a little about my self I am 56 years old a wife, also a mother to 6 children, and a grandmother to 4. I am looking to lose about 80-100 pounds. I was diagnosed last year with type 2 diabetes. I lost my mother to diabetes in 2007 and just lost my father September of 2014 he also had diabetes but that was not the cause of his death. I am not looking to fit into a bathing suit or skinny jeans I need to get healthy. I would like to be here and see my grandchild grow up. I am a lunchroom manager at a high school, I know about nutrition and you think I would apply it to my own life. I started this journey 2 weeks ago. I know this is something I must do. I have always taken care of everyone else now I need to take care of me. All support will be welcomed.

    Welcome. First, you are not alone. We are all here for our own reasons and we all need each other's support.

    Getting MFP is a great first step. Pick up a device like a Fitbit, take the time to experiment and learn how the service work and have fun.

    I'm new here too, and love it here!

    I thought I was the only one trying to make a change on me. I started Saturday and I'm looking forward to the week going better than the weekend.
