New here...
 

Hi all,

I'd like to join this board. I need accountability as far as the exercise. I've struggled, like many here, with my weight. I am in the pre-diabetes level with my glucose range, and that really is frightening. :o At this point it is still reversable--a wake up call for my lifestyle choices.;)

Welcome to the board. :wave: This is a terrific place with lots of great advice and support.

:welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome:

I'm so glad you're here. This is a PHENOMENAL place for support, encouragement, advice and yes - accountability.

Good luck to you in reaching your goals. Your very, VERY attainable goals I might add.

I look forward to getting to know you better, so please post often. :)

:welcome3:

:welcome2: So glad you decided to join us.

:welcome2: Glad you found us!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I appreciate it. Are we required to post our exercise and weight loss every week? I am trying to stay away from the numbers on the scale for awhile: I get discouraged pretty fast. Is it alright if post my weight every two or 4 weeks. I can get too obsessed with the numbers. I need to focus on building the habits and the results will come.

Tonight I had a friut and vegtable run, instead of a fast food run. I need to keep that up.:p

You are welcome to use the site for as much or as little support as you need. Post as frequently or infrequently as fits with what you are comfortable with! You can post about exercise and weight loss/gain, or not -- it's completely up to you.

I know what you mean about getting obsessed with numbers. It's so easy to do! Great job on getting fruits and veggies instead of fast food! That was the first thing I cut out and it was the best thing I ever did for myself.

Looking forward to getting to know you better! I'm sure you'll love it here.

Glad to "meet" you. Looking forward to your success!!!!

Like CC already said, you can post your exercise, your weight or your whatever as frequently or as infrequently as YOU want. Whatever works for YOU. That's what this is all about. Finding the right thing for yourself.

I think focusing on building good habits is a phenomenal idea. Great going on the vegetable run. I like that!

Welcome!! Congrats on the weight you have lost:carrot::carrot: , you will find alot of support here.

Having a father who suffers from diabetes, I'm painfully aware of what can happen with that condition. I'm so glad that you're taking your diagnosis seriously and working on your health. Post as often as you want--during good times and particularly doing those pesky bad times when you need the support. We're here for you!
