Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm new to the message boards.
I've been struggling with weight for a few years now. I kept promising myself I would 'get around to it' but I didn't. Then March of 09 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and that was a scary wake up call let me tell ya! Then last October I gave birth to my second child and he came out 11lbs 7oz and a blood sugar level of 19...yes 19. And it was all because of me and my empty "I'll get around to it" promises I made to myself. My son, thanks be to God, got his sugar levels up and is a very healthy 8 month old.
I'm wanting to lose weight...no, I HAVE to lose weight and get in shape for my kids. I'M their role model, and I want to be a good one.
I wish all of you a happy weight loss journey and hope to see you around :bigsmile:
