Hello everyone,

My name is Sharn. I downloaded the app a couple of years ago and never used it. Now I have a Vivofit and thought I would like the two. I am a diabetic and I need to lose weight and get healthy in order to get off of the insulin. Obtainable goal but I need help which is why I am here. I am hoping that your post and communication will help to keep me motivated and accountable to myself.

    Hi Sharn, and welcome to the group! Take advantage of the information and support in the groups and forums. Yes, your goal is VERY obtainable. I strongly recommend focusing on your health instead of weight loss. It's a great way to stay on track w/out getting discouraged when the number on the scale doesn't move.

    Wishing you all the best!

    My name is Lisa and I am also diabetic on a quest to get off insulin. Just a couple of months ago I was taking about 250 units of insulin a day. I have been able to reduce that amount to about 100 units a day and I have lost 23 pounds in about 2 1/2 months. I would love to be able to encourage each other in our get off insulin goal.
