in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Christina, I just learned that I was prediabetic this week and it scares the crap out of me. I need to loose 50-80 pounds. I'm new to my fitness pal and will be syncing it to my fit bit. I need to stay motivated bc I have too many children and grandchildren. And most importantly for myself bc I need to be around for another 50 years.

    Hi!

    As the daughter of a diabetic, I've seen the effects of it firsthand. It's a horrible thing, but at least you have the chance to make a change. Feel free to add me if you like; I'd be happy to share your journey with you :smile: Good luck x

    Hi ladies, I lost 77 lbs in one year with MFP & the Jawbone band. I'm still working/struggling with the last 10 pounds. (Lost them, but gino them back - I'm always looking for an accountability buddy - feel free to add me)

    Hello Ive been off diabetes medication for two years now.... I was diagnosed with it and then dropped from 286 lbs to my current weight of 228. You can certainly do this! There is hope the body is an amazing thing.
