    Hi I will be your friend. My story is very similar to yours. I am 47 years old with two children and 1 grandchild. I have been diabetic for about 7 years now. I also have multiple other problems. I am not sure how to add you as a friend so let me know and we can talk.

    I know how it is, I've been overweight all my life. I think with a good majority of we overweight people is its all in our head, its the lack of motivation, the lack of caring for ourselves enough.....others always comes first. I know how to lose weight, I know what and how to do it BUT the head/emotions gets in the way. Maybe just talking to others is a form of counseling and can help us. I have to go right now but you have to know that you CAN and WILL do this and KNOW others are with you and here to help you!

    I'm with you ladies! We concentrate on everyone else around us and making sure their needs are met-while we are not taking care of ourselves. WE need to start today! I'm soooo tired of being sick & tired (miserable)....we can be here for each other!!

    Feel free to add me. My younger brother was just diagnosed w/ Diabetes a bit of a wake up call to me at about 40 or so pounds overweight. Plus being older and the fact that my mother is overweight with type 2 diabetes made me realize I need to live a better lifestyle if I want to live to a grand old age.

    Hi everyone, my name is Trish. I used this as a smartphone app for a while before, lost maybe 10 pounds but that was all. I am a 21 year old mother of two baby girls, and really want to lose some weight and become a healthier me for my daughters and myself. I am hoping to find some friends who have something in common with me, which I am assuming is why we are all here. Hope to meet you all, and help anyone out with support any way I can.

    Feel free to add me. I was diagnosed with diabetes about 2 years ago and kept playing around with the diet and exercise and was put on medication (pill) a year ago and then an injection about 7 months ago. I lost 30 pounds and then got lazy but was able to maintain but got back on track about 3 months ago and now have lost 44lbs. My last two doctors apt, my A1C has been 5.9 and 5.7. I go back March 9th and my dr. says I should be off all medication. Loosing weight has saved my life!
