About Me
I am 150lbs overweight and have developed diabetes.I am going to do the right thing for myself... Like take time in the morning before anyone gets up or come home or call ...which is done a lot dealing with the state, ambulance service, doctors etc. But this is for me, My goal weight is 125lbs. I know it is not easy due to it have been at least 40 years since I weighed that little. I am going to work very hard by exercising and by eating the right foods. I realize how much now since back in Illinois I have to get myelf together so I can continue to take care of my parents and now help with my aunt. I am trying to find a friend or friends to work with me and be able to explain my feelings about loosing weight and to control my diabetes. I am a positive person and I know it is not easy to put yourself out there and you don't know what you will get in return. But since I have been on this site I know there are very good people out here and have plenty of information ..just like I do..... I know what to do it is now the time I began to do the job. I am a grandmother of 7 and mother of 3. I really miss my grands and daughter back in Florida.(smile) But they are okay. and I really pray for them since they travel a lot ;;;;
Interests
I am interested in reading, writing, sewing, cooking and now exercising. (smile) I pray a lot and it really does help.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am a beautiful overweight lady, I know what I have to do and will do it . I need to lose 141 llbs and by exercising and controlling what I put inside my body will help me on this life long journey. I am not along due to I have this site to give me advise, encouragement, love friendship, and a peace where I can come and be myself.
Treatments

- I really just decided I had to stay away from all them sweets due to my diabetes. I have to leave the starch along. well at least most of the time.
Close Diabetes Type 2
Well, my numbers was down from 363 to 139 as of today 6/26/07. I am taking my meds most of the time at the right time. but I do forget but my precious mom reminds me because she knows I am taking care of her. I realize just how important it is now due to this site and the help from my family. I don't like taking the meds but I know I have to due to my fault of eating and eating and eating the wrong kind of foods and loosing and gaing this weight.
Treatments
- Metformin Working / Worked
- The metformin works as long as I watch my sugar intake. I feel the meds is not making me gain weight and I was afraid it would. but it is not one of the side effects.
Open Obesity
I am overweight, I am a diabete, take care of my parents and aunt. and now I realize I have to take care of me more. My goal weight is 125lbs and I know it is not impossible due to I have been as high as 350lbs so I know if I keep my faith there is no way I can loose.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- I am realizing I have to change my eating habits for myself and continue to exercise more.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I am so glad I found this site. I now workout at least 5 days a week and am working on 1 1/2 hours per day. now is just 1 hour
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Compete in a raceI am a happy person most of the time even while taking care of my mother, father and checking on my aunt. I want to loose 141 more pounds. I have diabetes and realize this weight is not going to work with this weight. I have been walking with Leslie Sansome and it has really made me sweat a lot. I want to work very hard on my goals and make some I know I will keep.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- I have found my old exercise tape and my new dvd tapes all different types but mostly low impacts.
