Well, here I go...
This upcoming Monday, September 20th will be a new re-start for me. I homeschool our two teenage boys and I am going to include them in my weight-loss journey and make it a learning experience for them as well. I want to be able to ensure that they are as healthy as possible and to make sure that they develop some new healthy habits.

I am right there with ya! Have type 2 diabetes and my BMI is over 40 as well. Started walking for exercise about 5 weeks ago, worked up to 3 miles X5 days a week. It's a start, we just gotta get going, chose the right path and GO FOR IT. I do feel better since I started exercising. Hope you can meet your goals. Good Luck!

I wish you lots of luck on your weight loss journey. I have a long tough road ahead also. I'm also a type 2 diabetic, married 34 years, one son (homeschooled) and I need to lose 100 lbs. We really can't afford to be noncompliant any longer. We have too much to live for. You go girl! If you need support, I'm here for you.
