I thought I would drop in and say hello to everyone! I am excited to continue my journey and give and receive motivation. Well I am a 45 year old single parent. My son will be 10 at the end of April. My weight loss journey started in January of 2015. I was diagnosed with diabetes August 2014 and they couldn't bring my sugar levels down. So I decided to change my eating and start working out. I have went down 3 pant sizes and I am no longer a diabetic! This is what motivates me to keep going. Although I am not where I want to be quite yet, I know I am on my way!!! Looking forward to hearing about your journey!!

Congratulations, Patty! I'm having much the same journey, although quite a bit older than you. I developed Type II DM about 5 years ago. My HgA1C started climbing and I started my diet/exercise in August. I've lost over 60 pounds since I started and dropped my waist size from 44 to 34. Last time I had my labs checked, no evidence of diabetes! Yay, me!0
