Hi...I just signed on after months away. I have been using FitBit, and it suddenly stopped working, so I came back here. I'm a retired high school teacher, husband, dad, and proud grandpa of 5. This summer my MD told me I was early stage diabetes so no more playing around with my weight. At that time I was 240...my heaviest. I am currently at 190. My first goal was hitting 199, my next to 185. Anxious to make some new friends on this journey of getting healthy.

    Congrats on losing so much weight and taking control of your health! Diabetes is absolutely devastating, you really dodged a bullet there.
