Hi Sharon and welcome to the board! I think you'll find lots of support here to help you stay focused on your goals. Losing weight can be really hard, but I think it makes a big difference when you can share with others-you know you're not alone. I'm only here about a month myself but I know it's helped me.

Congratulations on the weight loss so far-a great accomplishment! Walking is a really good exercise and along with the weight loss I'm sure the diabetes will improve-my blood sugar really has.

Hope to hear lots more from you.

HI Sharon!

I'm in Washington too! :o) Sounds like maybe you're on the coast?? I'm in Tacoma.

Walking is my exercise of choice...but I am hit and miss on it. Mostly I'm chasing my 3 yo daughter around...lol.

I hope you'll find the support you need here!
