Hi, I'm tom
Well, started my new life today, can't say that I'm eager to do this but, after looking at pictures of myself and knowing how I used to look plus being told that I'm pre diabetic T2 makes this a necessity. Working with a Pre T2 class makes this easier but I would appreciate any and all encouragement.

    Welcome! I've been struggling for the past 6 months or so to lose weight...so you're in good company. I had lost about 20 lbs previously, but then I stopped doing what I was doing and it all came back. I know it's about choosing a different lifestyle. Eating healthy and staying active. It's never too late to make changes. Do it now for a better tomorrow. Good luck. Don't get discourage. Just take one day at a time.

    diabetes is something to be concerned about, I've learned that carb control is a big part. I'm not diabetic but my mom was, so I am careful. be strong and check in with a dietician maybe for advice. good luck
