    Hi and welcome. I'm losing weight to ward off diabetes which is rampant in my family. I find keeping my weight loss in smaller challenges works better for me than when I think about how much I need to lose in total.

    Oh i hear u there everyone in my family has diabetics
  • I am two points away from being diabetic, and my blood pressure is high. I have kicked things in gear and have been working on weight loss. I have about 65 lbs to go. Right now I am working toward being under 200 by April 30th. This is going to be a tough goal to meet. Feel free to send me a friend request.

    Hi, Just hang in there and keep at food jouraling and it will happen. Also go to the gym 3-4 days a week-I work out for 1 hour early at 5:30 AM M-W-F and that really helps me I have lost only 6 lbs but I have not been eating properly or I would have been at my goal by now. I love the food app.
