Hello
 

Hi everyone. I'm new here and am very excited. I need something like this to keep me accountable. There are many reasons I want to lose weight:

* I'm pre-diabetic and want to prevent having the disease.
* I have high blood pressure.
* I am too young (33) to feel so old.
* My husband and I are trying to have a baby. :dizzy:

I look forward to all the support and advice I hope to receive!

Hello and :welcome3: So glad you decided to join us

Thanks Misti!

WELCOME CAROLLYREE!!!

Please do take care of yourself if you're pre-diabetic. My hubby of 23+ yrs is diabetic & it's been rough on him & in turn it's rough on me. Fact is he was in the hospital Wed & Thurs. Unfortunately not the first time either. :(

Listen to your dr(s). Maybe you'll be able to head off your potential for diabetes. It's really costly if you don't...medications, testing supplies, dr appts, hospital stays & just the major impact it can have on your health.

Both an uncle & my god-father loss their legs from diabetes complications. They did not take care of themselves. It made it hard to watch, because they slowly killed themselves with sugary/unhealthy diets.

You have reasons to give this your best effort: your hubby & the child(ren) in your future. GOOD LUCK!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! :hug: I have already added you to my buddy list. If you have any questions/concerns...ask. I'm not a diabetic but I've lived with one for a long time.

Thanks Mrs.TryingAgain. My doctor just put me on Metformin as a precautionary measure. I sure don't want to have to live my life in and out of the hospital, especially if it could've been prevented. Your support is appreciated!

Hi,

Welcome, I am new as well. I'm 33, pre-diabetic, and plan to start a family around this time next year. Good luck in your journey and feel free to reach out to me if I can be of any support :)
