I am new to this site. It was recommended by a coworker. It really worked for her so I'm giving it a go. I have always been overweight but I am now morbidly obese. I have to find something that works. I hope that this is it. I was also recently diagnosed with diabetes, of course. I love bread, cheese, potatos, red meat and anything else that is bad for you. I'm not a big cooker. I live alone so cooking just isn't a priority so I make due with quick, fattening meals.
On the plus side I have 2 wonderful nephew that I have to get in shape for. They are 6 and 8. I want to be able to go outside and play baseball and basketball. I want to take them to Disney World and actually ride rides with them instead of having to rent a scooter because my knees hurt too much to walk. This is day 2 of my journey, my final one I hope.

Hi Keant,
I love all those things too. I'm about to go home from work and had no snack today and boy do I miss it. But we can do it! I have two toddlers that need me and your nephews need you! They especially need you to take them to Disney!!
Good luck to you! I'm rooting for you. ~lara0 -

Hi!
I'm on my second week and I really like this site. You can find friends who encourage you all the way and help when you need it.:bigsmile: I try to exercise each day but sometimes I can't but I still track everything that goes in my mouth. I have bad knees and a bad hip but I know that getting off my butt will and walking or riding my bike will help with the pain....You will do it this time!! Good luck in your journey.0 -
Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement. I am starting this opptimistic. You are right, I can do this. Also thanks for the friend request, I can use all I can get. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!0
