Introduction Text A few weeks before I turned 36, my doctor told me that I was in danger of becoming diabetic. He told me that I needed to lose weight in order to prevent it. I can't afford another health problem. So I am doing everything I can to lose weight. I have already lost 15 pounds on my own. I am hitting a point where I catch myself cheating. I need to keep my eye on the goal. So I am pushing myself harder and trying to find support where I can get it. I currently live with one of my sisters and her husband. They are both diabetic and both overeat. They don't really care if their diabetes is getting worse. I don't want to end up like them. I often feel very alone. I am isolated from the rest of the family. My friends don't understand the urgency. They have always known me as being sick and can't understand why I am frantically fighting having to add yet another diagnosis to my medical file. So, here I am. Hoping to not feel so alone in this struggle.

I would love to get back down to 130. Prehypothyroidism, I weighed in at 110. I really don't think I can get that far down though. So 130 is a good weight for me. I want to feel healthy. Ummm.. how does that feel?

So far I have just been watching what I eat. I have difficulty exercising due to various health issues. I am trying to get started gently with some exercises.
