I feel for you! Just had my own glucose test the other day, and I'm "pre-diabetic". My first meeting with the nutritionist is next week. I'm hoping to learn how to lower my blood sugar through a healthier diet. I think starting here at MFP was a great start!!

Day two for me as well. So glad to know we're not going through this alone!!

Great to have you here!

It's great that you're here! This site is a great place not just for getting a new perspective on how you eat, but also for finding encouragement and support. Best of luck in your journey!! You can "friend" me if u want!

Great job so far!! Keep it up. You've GOT this!!:glasses:

Two suggestions...first, PLAN what you're going to have before you just blindly eat. See how many calories are in the things you want, and if it's too many, find a substitute. Second, and most important...don't just take it one day at a time...take it one MEAL at a time! Best of luck to you!!

Great to have you here! It's never too late to start...or re-start ;). We're all in this together and I think you'll find lots of very supportive and encouraging people here. Feel free to "friend" me if you want. I have a long way to go!

I've got to agree with Sarah....water -- and lots of it! It will help keep your tummy feeling full. And there IS an adjustment period while your stomach shrinks. When you feel like you're "starving", stick it out about 20-30 minutes. This is the worst time -- the time when we cave in and head for the fridge. The hunger…

I think you'll love this site. It provides a great way to "see" how and what you eat. Plus there are lots of supportive and caring people here who all share the same goals. We keep each other motivated! Feel free to "friend" me if you'd like.

Hey Sarah! You'll love it here. Lots of supportive and caring people who will keep you focused on accomplishing your goals. Best of luck in your journey, and feel free to "friend" me if you'd like.

I'm trying to lose around 50-60 lbs, and sometimes, it seems insurmountable. I've decided to make several "mini-goals" instead of looking at the big picture. Thanks for the inspiration! Wish us all luck on our healthier journeys! Feel free to "friend" me if you'd like.

Look no further!! This is a great site with lots of supportive and inspiring people. Feel free to "friend" me if you'd like. We're all in the same boat here, and it's good to have supportive friends. Best of luck on your journey!!

And good luck to you, too! Everybody here is really supportive and it's great to get a new perspective on healthy eating. Feel free to "friend" me if you'd like. We're all in this together!!

Two back surgeries (discectomies), so I KNOW about the back pain, and what excess weight can do! Watch the calories (this site is great for keeping track!), lots of "little" meals, and don't forget to drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water daily. One meal at a time...one day at a time.:smile:

Great job!! Keep it going! Remember -- one day at a time...or even...one meal at a time! You can do it!

It is a great site! Lots of support here, and a great way to get a new perspective on your eating habits.

Yeah, although I usually only become aware of it when I'm sitting at the red light, and notice everyone staring at me!

Don't get discouraged over 4 lbs. That's actually a good health weight-loss pace -- 1-2 lbs per week. Hang in there, and remember, we're all in this together! Post here any time you need a little encouragement, or even a "kick" in the butt!

Hey Heather! Welcome to the best health site on the web. I'm in this to lose 50 lbs, and I have to constantly remind myself -- one day at a time! Enjoy the "little" victories and set realistic short-term goals. Everyone here is really supportive, so we're always here if you're having a "weak" day. Feel free to "friend" me…
