Found this place - Hurray!
Hi all, just getting started with this site. Read an article in a medical journal of how blogging on weight and having online buddies has been helpful to most who are serious about losing weight — so thought I’d add this to my current program. I am a physician who knows every detail about what my weight is doing to my longevity and how I am a timebomb (just don’t know when it will go off). I have a strong family history of diabetes and I’m not going down that road! I checked in with my MD before I started all this and found out my fasting blood sugar was 100 which is the upper limit of normal. Should be down in the 70-80 range. So that was 8 lbs ago and I’ll just keep on this journey until I can say I’ve lost the weight and haven’t found it again, if you know what I mean.
Will try to blog most days, try not to complain too much and try to add some of the sunshine my patients give me every day. They are some of the best supporters and so much understand wanting to be healthier! I am off from work this coming week trying to get settled into a new house and finally finish unpacking all the boxes and my closet. I find I tend to wear the same stuff every week because I haven’t gone through and tried everything to see what’s too small and what is just right. So that will be my goal for Monday. Off to my office right now to line out the work for the staff for the coming week.
Looking forward to the journey. As Maya Angelou says, “You did what you did until you knew better and then you did better.” So I’m on the do better path right now and know it is a long journey but truly the safest one for me.
Stay healthy all, until next time!

Welcome to this site. This site has so many buddies that will help you along the way good or bad. I have been here since Feb 07 and I love it. They are all caring, loving, helpful and understanding and you dont have to blog just about weight issues which helps alot especially when you are stressed out. I wish you all the luck in the coming year 2008. We will do this together……..Huggs Ms Babe
How awesome are you to do this! Yea for YOU!
Don’t worry about the complaining. I have only done this for a week and am learning how the “buddy system” works. Complain when you want to, there are a lot of people here who know exactly how you feel, or at least, pretty close to it. Only now, when you feel like complaining, know that we are here, if anything to tell you, “We hear you. That sucks. Wanna talk about it?” Keep up the positivity, and if you wanna “talk”, we’re here!
