Welcome Sharper9! You're wise to start prevention now. I am currently pre-diabetic myself & talking to Sparkpeople members has definitely helped.

They say it takes a village and, what's nice about this team is our close proximity. I've just recently started leading so there aren't a whole lot of community posts - YET. I'll be meeting with a nutritionist tomorrow to show her the ins & outs of this site & she will be a regular contributor to our team. I'm also working on getting a personal trainer to do the same. If you also have any ideas of items that would help you achieve your goals, please let me know.

Again . . . welcome & I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Hi, I am a new member of course. I want to get healthier and look good as well. Diabetes and high blood pressure runs in my family. Also just about all the women in my family are obese. I am only 30 lbs. over weight. If I only lose 10 lbs but I stay away from those health issues I will be happy.

Having people to talk with is going to help me a lot because nothing else has. So I am ready to get this started.
