Started Flat Belly Diet today, also found 3fc. cw 165, gw 130. 43 yrs. old, mother of 4, diabetes, can't afford meds or dr. visits (even with insurance) Diabetes can be controlled with diet but I need lots of support, as not much given at home. Not sure how to search this site. What is useful to most people?
Hello! And welcome!! There is a section for dieting with obstacles under the support forum. They may be of some help to you. I suggest just clicking around and you will catch on fast. Welcome and good luck!
Hi baygentstina!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with a good plan and a can-do attitude- the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs. The diabetes forum might be of interest to you as well.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
New to 3fc.
Happy Holidays!
