in Introduce Yourself
A little over two years ago, I lost 47 lbs and then got pregnant. I have gained all the weight back and am just trying to get back into a diet and excercise routine. Since I had my daughter, I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. All the more reason for me to be more healthy. Last week I joined a gym and my intent is to go 5 days a week. My real problem is food. I love food, especially the food I shouldn't be eating. I would appreciate any advice.

    Welcome! I'm sort of new here too. The best advice I have so far is just to keep at it...find what works, and keep at it. Some days suck, some days it's easier. But you'll be happy and proud of yourself in the long run! :flowerforyou:

    Welcome Toots and Sstrladybug! I love this site and just started back up. I kick myself for slipping away from it, but I am here now! The best advice I could give you, is to track your food before you eat. Whether it is in the morning before you eat anything or plan your meals the day before. Makes it much easier to plan your calorie (meal) intake when you know how many calories you can play with.

    Good luck! Enjoy MFP!!
