Hi, I'm Net. I'm looking to lose quite a bit of weight to help control my newly developed Type 2 Diabetes. Would appreciate any encouragement and advice. Good luck to us all.

  • Hi Net, I'm new too. I'm just going to lay it all out there, because my growing fitness is more important than past weight. I'm 55, weight 214 now. I've tried everything and I have lost 80 pounds before. Of course I put it all back on. I've always lost weight through starvation and maybe just a little workout time. Now, it has dawned on me that, at 55, I have to start moving my body or I'm going to be one of those elderly people who falls down and yells "Help me, I can't get up." I don't want that...at all. Plus, what kind of achievement would it be at 55 to lose 60 - 80 pounds? I've seen people do it. If they can do it, I can do it. If I can do it, you can do it.
