I have been a part of this community off and on for years. I had so much support and great friends here. It made a big difference in my life and got me through a lot. I congratulate those I see are still here and I welcome the new faces. I am back for some more support and excited to meet others. Have a great day and know this is the first step towards health and happiness

    Welcome back! As you say, there are many great people here!

    I am in a super friendly, super supportive group, if that's an appealing thought. It's set up as a monthly challenge between five teams, with the aim being for all of us to lose weight and to support each other on the journey:

    Best of luck, however you tackle your goals!

    OP: can you tell me what your current goals are this time around?
    Meagan_Smart: I'm sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. How did you feel when you heard the news? Was it shocking to you or did you figure that it was coming based on symptoms you were experiencing? I hate to say it but sometimes it takes a medical condition OTHER than the extra weight to motivate change.
