Pre-Diabetic in Alabama

  • Hi, My name is Mandie and I am 263 at 5'4''. I have 2 children 4 years and 15 months. I had lost down to 191 after having my 4 year old then I became insulin resistant and gained 30lbs in 1 month it has been a battle since then, with my son I gained 25lbs and lost only 10lbs. The problem is I have steadily gained and I am now Pre-Diabetic with the must to loose weight. I am open to any and all suggestions. I'm looking into Weight Watchers and anything that supplies help.


    Thanks Mandie
    Goal is to loose 100lbs in a Year!
  • I am looking at WW and calorie counting as well.

    Where are you in Alabama? My son is at Ft Rucker.
  • I'm in Atmore! I want something that will tell me what i can eat. I don't eat eggs and such. Very Picky Eater!
  • I currently do MyFitnessPal, but I am looking at WW because it helps you eat healthier. I am getting older.... And I need that.
  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!
  • I know the feeling, Dr told me years ago I was on my way to becoming a diabetic. Anyway welcome, best of luck in getting to your ideal weight and avoiding any health problems!
  • Welcome!
  • Hi Mandie!

    I am in northwest Alabama. Looks like we have the same thing in mind - loosing 100 lbs!

    I'm basically eating whole foods and quit eating processed foods. I also exercise every day. I've just decided I needed to make a lifestyle change. Diets don't seem to work for me. I always gain my weight back.

    I'm pre-diabetic too. That should motivate you to get healthy right there - right?
