Hello!

Hi, I’m Ty. I’m new here. I need to lose weight because I’m now on high blood pressure medicine and pre-diabetic. I need to be around supportive people. There’s three of us girls in the family and everyone keeps referring to me as “the nice but fat sister.” I’m tired of it. My husband is also not very supportive. Thanks for listening!

Welcome. There are lots of great resources to help you on your way. Check out the stickies (most helpful posts) at the top of the forum boards. Great, to-the-point info to help you cut through the BS and avoid many of the pitfalls people make when they first start out. Helped me a lot when I first logged on to MFP. Here are three of my favorites:

I’m with you, girl! I’m an only child so no sisters, but I’ve always been the “fat friend.” I’m new here and pre-diabetic as well. As far as husbands go...mine knows I’m trying to be healthy and brought home hot fries (my favorite 😭), a container of ice cream, cookies and a huge case of Mountain Dew (I’m trying to give it up). So how’s that for support?! Lol He means well but just has no clue 🤦🏼‍♀️ Good luck on your journey!! You got this!
