hello I am new at this and hope that this will help me with what I WANT TO ACHIEVE and what i have to do. I am lucky to have the support of family, I just turned fifty and had to have a stint in my heart . at the end of october i will have anouther one put in on the other side of my heart. along with that i am diabetic with uncontroled blood sugars. I have been advised to quit smoking, eat right, in general start taking care of myself ,something i have obviously not done in the past. for me all that I am beinig told is a little bit overbearing and I am haveing a problem making the decision to accept what i have to do and do it. fortunately my sister in law introduced me to myfitnesspal.after taking a look at this program it seems to be something that will make things easier for me to follow through with controling my diet and ultimatly my diabetes. so once again Hello and I look forward to reading more of other members success stories. good health to all.

    Hi Stint,

    Check out the success stories and you will see you are not alone in the challenges you face. Some here are losing a little weight and others a lot. This site has been inspiring to so many others and it is ALWAYS here for you.

    You can do this and this site can help. And I would bet that not one of us has done it "perfectly" but rather are on constant course corrections.

    It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, only how many times you get back up.

    Go for it! You CAN do it!

    :flowerforyou:

    OK I am the stupidiest person in the world... can't figure out how to post a question... but of course I can reply to a message... Help would be greatly appreciated! Obviously I am new to this site and its late and I am tired and don't have much energy to figure this out after working out... so PLEASE help!
