Slow and steady

I'm also a Cancer Survivor, which prompted me to begin living a healthier life. I am Diabetic and have Celiac Disease.

I'm excited to have found this forum. I hope to make some friends

Welcome JesikaBeth. You have had many obstacles to confront having Celiac Disease, having had cancer, and being diabetic! That 's a lot the deal with. Best wishes on your weight loss journey.

Welcome Jesika!

Congrats on the weight loss and being a cancer survivor! It seems you've had some obstacles but you're very inspiring!

I have high blood pressure from being over weight and my doctor says I'm looking at diabetes if I keep it up. So here I am as well, needing to be a healthier person and get off this weight that is weigh me down.
