Hello! My name is Sarah and I live in Oklahoma. I have been married for 14 years and have 4 sons!

Ive been overweight all my life and have tried lots of diets half heartedly

At the beginning of the year I was diagnosed with diabetes and have been calorie counting and keeping a close eye on my carbs to lose weight

Welcome Sarah! Congrats on your weightloss so far! It looks like you are doing great! keep it up!

Welcome Sarah, Glad to have you join us. My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join. Be sure to check out the Dieting with Obstacles and the Cal Counting forums for a start!

Sorry to hear about your diabetes but good luck with the calorie counting!
