It's been three years since I was here last. Three years ago I just had PCOS. But three months ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypertension. All the weight I had lost previously I've now gained back so I'm back at my original starting point... bleh

The last two months I was super depressed with the confirmation of diabetes, but I am on the upswing now. I've started exercising and really focusing on what I am eating.

I tried going to a diabetes forum for some support but I found the lack of activity made me bored. I remember this place being pretty active so I am back.

Let's get this carrot dance party started!

back, Laifierr! I'm so sorry to hear you were diagnosed with diabetes, but I'm glad you are doing something about it! Great to have you back! You can do this! Good luck!

Hi, there Laifierr!!!

I, too, found my way back here a few weeks ago. Boy, did I need to! Like you I was diagnosed with Type 2 & HBP. I was given the stink eye from my dr. about a month & a half ago. He said without any hesitation that I needed to loose weight. joy.

Anywhos, welcome back! I'll help push you along & you can help push me along! Deal?

Welcome back Laifierr! Just joined too a couple weeks ago. I don't have diabetes yet, but had HBP for a long time. Depression is the worst. Went through about 2 years worth back in 2004, it's not fun.

Good news is that we dust ourselves off, change our mindset and get started on our weight loss journey and I am here to succeed.

Good Luck!
