Newbie....
So, I've recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes... I'm 28, a wife, mother, and a recent college graduate with a new career. I have accomplished a lot in my life, and I am not ready to let this beat me!! I have ALWAYS been overweight, but my doc says if I can get my weight down at least somewhat, that I may not need treatment for the diabetes (at least for a while.)

My Goals:
Goal 1: 245
Goal 2: 215
Goal 3: 200
Goal 4: 190
Goal 5: 180
Goal 6: 165
Goal 7: 155
Goal 8: 145
Goal 9: 130
Goal 10: 120
My actual goal is to be between a size 8 and 12, but if/when I get there I don't want to ever get complacent, so I've charted goals beyond that through the entire 'healthy' BMI range for my height. :)
My Program:
For the time being, I am focusing on a healthy diet more than anything. I would describe my diet as 80/20 paleo, but this wasn't by design. I eliminated gluten, wheat, soy, corn, HFCS, dairy milk, GMO foods, artificial sweeteners, refined sugar, fake foods and over processed foods, and it just so happened to match up with that 'label'. I choose organic foods whenever possible, and grass fed, uncured meats, free range eggs, etc. I also choose low GI foods whenever possible.
I eat on the low end of my calorie recommendation and I have lost 2lbs per week since making these changes to my diet.
Personal Information:
Let's see, what is there to say??? Well, I was born and bred in Wilmington, NC, and I live here with my husband and our little boy. They film a lot of television and films here (most recently Revolution, Iron Man 3, and several others) in Wilmywood aka Hollywood East, so we tend to have some pretty awesome people around. Oh, and I'm a UNCW alum. Go Seahawks! Aside from work and family I don't have time for much else.
