So today is my first anniversary of being on My Fitness Pal. In the past year I have dropped 35 lbs, gone from not being able to run a block without breaking out in a cold sweat to being able to run 4 - 6 miles.

And in two weeks it will be exactly one year since I got off the diabetes drug, Metformin. That happened on my birthday. April is a pretty big month for me!

    Thank you! And don't worry I have no intention of stopping! In fact I'm stepping things up a gear. I'm doing more with weight lifting now. I understand muscle is supposed to help the body absorb glucose better.

    Thanks everyone! :D
