in Introduce Yourself
hello everyone my name is Linda. Im a 61 year old female originally from the greater Boston MA area however, 25 years ago I made the move to the Clearwater St Pete area of Florida
I am a type 2 diabetic who now has to use insulin to help control my diabetes and honestly I hate it. Doctors have told me and I know I have to lose the weight to get off the insulin and get control which is why I have joined this group.

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!
