Hi! I am fairly new to MFP. As you can see my profile photo, I am a mom of two sweet boys and they are my motivation to start my journey towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle. Being diagnosed with diabetes (runs in the family) makes me scared for myself and my children. I want to be around to watch them grow up and I want to avoid them from getting this disease. So it is time to take action and learn to eat cleaner and make better food choices. It's time to get off my booty and MOVE! It's time to show my boys what healthy is & should be. I am hoping to find other moms for motivation and to help me stay accountable for my choices. Thank you!!!!

    Yayyyy! I'm so excited to hear you so motivated! I have 2 beautiful boys and I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes with both pregnancies. I'm GOING to loose 70 lbs in hopes to avoid becoming a diabetic, our boys need us and definitely we need to show ourselves we can do it! Stay focused!

    I am a mom of two as well! Our family doesn't include diabetes but cancer - and so my family and trying to keep my body as health as possible to prevent any preventable sickness is why I am doing this! Feel free to add me! I love connecting with other moms to keep each other motivated!

    I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with t2 diabetes (had GD with my son). I've lost 85 pounds had dropped my A1C from 8.7 to 5.4. It's possible! :smiley: Add me if you like. I'm on frequently and my diary is open.
