in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm new to this site. I'm one of the many overweight people living in Wisconsin USA. I'm also one of the growing number of people with Type 2 Diabetes. I think this will be a great way to keep track fo my eating habits as well as encourage me to exercise. I really hate to sweat, so this isn't a problem walking outdoors at this time of year :laugh: I look forward to meeting a few of you online.

    Hi -

    I'm also from the frozen north only it's Alaska. Yes, at -10 this morning there was little fear of sweating if I was doing anything outside. However, I avoid those type of cold temperatures if at all possible. In any case welcome to the group. You'll find lots of support so just holler if you need anything.

    ooh I'm not loving the cold! :grumble: This site is great for my US geography - I have to look up each of the states. You are WAY up north!
    I'm in the north of England - not the same at all. Although it's winter here it has been sunny and warm today. It usually rains a lot where I live cos we're between hill ranges. :smile:
    Greetings and welcome :flowerforyou:

    Welcome, and the freeze is on in Iowa too. We have not had such a snowy cold winter since 1979. The year my middle child was born. The cold and snow is a natural signal for me to bake and eat and this site is keeping me on track. If ya need some help I'm only a state away or better yet a few clicks on the keyboard.

    Never seen snow.

    Hello from the Adirondack Mountains(Hudson Falls,NY). I have a few things that make losing weight while eating right important. I am hypoglycemic & anemic. I was born with crooked leg bones/malformed pelvis. I also have fibromyalgia & I am bi-polar. We all come from different backgrounds-but here we are united as one to overcome one thing--being overweight. I look forward to meeting you all & sharing our stories as we follow one another's weight loss journeys.
