Hi, Darialee...I have been on MFP for a couple years and have just yo-yo'd my weight because I haven't been committed to losing weight. I need to lose 145 pounds. I have been diabetic for approx 6 years and am miserable. I am on diabetic meds and 2 types of insulin. I am my elderly mother's full time caregiver, although…

Hi Riqia, you sound just like me! I have 124 pounds to lose. I cannot believe I've gotten this bad. I am now diabetic and it scares me to death. You'd think that would give me the motivation to get busy and start getting healthy. But, I don't really know where to begin, either. My boyfriend got me a fitbit for Christmas. I…

Hi, I'm 53 years old and need to lose 140 lbs. It is so weird to think of that number and know it's my fault for getting this unhealthy. I have become Type II Diabetic and feel physically and mentally awful all the time. I KNOW my life is in the balance...but it's SO hard. I am my own worst enemy and it's just so easy and…

Hi Caroline, You remind me of me at your age. I weighed the same as you did and was very unhappy with my body. I also wrestled with depression and anxiety. The first thing I want to tell you is: you MUST enjoy yourself where you are. Truly, you don't have ALOT of weight to lose. So, that means that you still can buy…

Oh my gosh! You make me feel like maybe I can do it, too! I weigh 261 and am 5'2". I need to loose at least 100 pounds, preferably 120 pounds. Do you have any pointers or hints on how you've done such a great job? :ohwell:

:smile: Hi there! I am 5'2" and weight 247. My first goal is to reach 199, but I am so NOT motivated! Having trouble making wise food choices and portion control...plus, trying to get myself walking at least a little each day. I will be happy to cheer you on and would love to get some encouragement from you.

Hi, I am 5' 2" and am currently 247. My highest weight was 275. I lost 40 pounds and was excited, until I learned my weight loss was due to out of control diabetes. I started on an insulin regimine and the weight started to come back on. I am daily tracking my food and glucose on MFP, but have never been more overwhelmed…

I am diabetic, type II. Was diagnosed about 5 years ago. Was controlling it with medication, but now I am on insulin 4 times a day and STILL have high glucose levels. Could you give me more details about the herbs you described as changing your diabetic life? I am SOOO scared. I have been on MFP for 2 months....gained 4…

Wow, you look so great! I would love to be able to check in with you to get your insight. I have been on MFP for about 2 months now...haven't lost anything. I am overwhelmed with how many calories are in EVERYTHING! I am diabetic and using MFP to help monitor my carb intake. I am at 245 and look very similar to you, before…

Oh my gosh, you are doing such a great job! I am just getting started and it's the biggest challenge of my life. I weigh 240 lbs, am 5 foot 2 inches. I have a question. As you have lost your weight did you end up with loose skin? I know that should be the least of my worries, but I am concerned. Any advice/insights you…

Thanks for posting this article. I weigh 234, was 270. I was sooo excited that I had dropped that weight, but found out it was due to being insulin toxic (I have diabetes) and my body wasn't able to absorb any nutrition from what I was eating. Now that I am on an intense insulin regimen, I have gained 7 pounds. I was VERY…
