Hello Everyone,

My name is Angela, Im 32, I live in Memphis, TN, and I have just begun yet another trip down weightloss road.

Instead of wanting to lose weight to look pretty or fit into something specific, I am doing it for my health.

Not only do I have borderline Diabetes, I have found myself so tired and wanting to go back to bed only an hour after I have gotten out of bed. This can not continue.

Im not following any specific diet plan; I am watching my portions, cutting out the sweets, eating more veggies, and adding exercise.

My starting weight right now is 273lbs. I do not have a specific weight goal,, but a health goal.

I hope to make some new friends on my journey and welcome any and all comments.

Thanks for reading!

Angela

Hi Angela and

This is a great site for support and ideas and inspiring stories and much, much more.

We have a 30something's board and a 100lbClub board. You can check those out and all the others too. Just jump in and post where ever you feel like.

on beginning your getting healthy journey. Can't wait to get to know you better

I am also an Angela and your description of why you are here is just about the same reason as mine.

At my highest weight I found myself sleeping all the time if I didn't have to get up and go to work. I didn't have any energy to do anything with my children other than sit on the bench while they played at the park.

I got myself to the Dr and was placed on sugar and Blood pressure medication. I now have to go back for my 3 month follow up but the medication and weight loss has really helped me feel human again.

Congrats on joining the forum. I have already found it helpful and I have only been here a few days. Welcome!

Hey other Angela!

I am from TX too. I am from San Antonio. I too am on Sugar Medicine. I was diagnosed with PCOD a couple of years ago so Im on Metformin. Looks as tho we have a ton in common. I hope all is well for you.


Thank you very much for the warm welcome Kelleigh. I am going to check out the other boards and post my heart out.
I look forward to getting to know you better as well
