A little about me: I have been batteling with my weight for the past 7 years. I was very thin when I was younger. I was 87 pounds when I got pregnant eight years ago and gave birth at 176. Thanks to gestational diebeties. A year and a half after my first child I was down to 106 () I then got pregnant 2 1/2 years ago and went up to 165. Also having diabeties. I am now 138 pounds and pre diebetic. My endocrinologist is hoping that I can steer clear of being full blown diebetic if I go on a 1200 cal diet with 100mg of carbs and uping my exercising. Unfortuanly I am a die hard coca cola fan and the thought of giving up soda makes me want to cry! My diet starts tomorrow and I go soda free!!!!!! Hoping I can eet some great people on this journey!!

Hello!

You might want to check out the Featherweights section, Chicks in Control, and Dieting with Obstacles.

But, I do want to point out my concern first that the mention of having once been anorexic sends up huge flags on a dieting site like 3FC. No one here supports or promotes that. The site isn't just about losing weight, it's about being healthy overall.

That being said, from your post you're under a doctor's care, so I hope all that works out.

Thank you for welcoming me! Best of luck with your goal!
