@sparklyglitterbomb that's all I can do...I like the addition of hour and minute because sometimes a day can seem overwhelming. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm sure I'm gonna need it when those "Krispy Kreme" days come a callin'

@precious_cargo Thank you and already it's been more than I could have asked. So many kind and thoughtful people here. I've never been this intraverted person who is shy about himself or anything I do but once I passed that 500 mark I just kind of shut down...forgot who I was...and gave up a little...then one day I was…

@MarkusDarwath Really I just started with counting calories and restricting them...that helped and has helped some in the past but really I've done tons of reading about carbs and how our bodies process them. I don't think I could really ever do 0 carb or even super low carb but that's just me. I took what My Fitness pal…

Also wanted to say thanks for the friend requests I'm sure I'll need all the help I can get..lol..so far it's been a low carb life for me and it's working..I'm not super nuts about doing 0 carbs but I would say I easily cut them in half and that's done wonders for me so far.

I speak pretty real about things. I'm not always the cheerleader of the group but I've been told I'm an optimist. I know there will be those days that will just totally destroy me and have me not wanting to get out of bed but getting involved like this I think will help. I've never done it before..reached out to others or…

Thanks Karen and Jeff. I'm looking forward to the Journey...It's bound to be a long one but I'm here to fight it every day.

You can do it! Stay in that mindset. I was just diagnosed with Diabetes and I've probably had it for some time just too afraid to really find out if I had it. I had numbers much like ptipton but I'm using My Fitness Pal now to try and get a grip on things and do things right.

@cariduttry Amen to that. Before thinking I would live another 25 years really didn't seem feasible...I kind of just gave up and figured If I make it to 45 I'm probably lucky...I not sure what switch went off but it did and now I want those 25 years and heck if this fat suit is gonna rob me of them.

Thanks TWM. It's taken me a long time to realize that obvious fact in life...but I'm taking back my life one day at a time.
