I am a 47 year old mother of 4 adult children and 3 grandbabies with #4 on the way! I am only 5'3 and my weight is that of a 7 ft man :-( I wan to feel good and be healthy for myself and my family. I have developed type 2 diabetes and the path I am on I am very familiar with. I watched my dad walk down this path until he was 71 years old and passed away. I need to find me, and get me in better health. I hope this site will be my passage way to do so.

    I am 47 and mother of two boys 16 and 18. I am now carrying an extra 50 plus pounds and am so upset with myself. It's been a rough year with my dads health and I know I need to take care of me. I cannot seem to control my eating and feel so bad after. I am also looking for motivation to find the old me...
