edited October 4 in Introduce Yourself
I'm 55 years old and I've recently had a health :noway: scare related to my diabetes, and inderectly to my weight. That got me looking for a way to lose weight/eat healthier. Since October 14th I've been using mfp to log everything. I have lost 10 pouonds as of this morning! My goal is to lose another 35-40 pounds and try to get other weight related health issues under control. Im looking for friends and support.:laugh:

    Thanks! I'm thinking the support will really help. Some days are hard when there is junk food all around!

    You have come to the right place. I have added you. This place (since I started using it daily instead of sporadically) has been my lifeline when it comes to keeping on track. When I have wanted to throw in the towel and give up, I have gotten on here and read success stories. You can reach your goal. Good luck in your journey!

    Hi Suzie ....your story sounds all to familiar to me. A health scare called prediabetes is what lead me here to MFP I know that I can control my weight and theres no reason why I should have the title Diabetic behind my name or anywhere in my health records for that matter....I had to come to the realization that I am in control of what I put In my body and to strive for a healthier me is what I plan to do........good luck in your fitness endevor................Pray for me as I continue to pray for you...:flowerforyou:
