Diabetic Mommy's
Type 2 Diabetes
Weight Loss Adventure!

type 2 diabetes weight loss before picture type 2 diabetes weight loss before picture type 2 diabetes weight loss before picture

On these pages I will document my journey to lose weight, particularly my excessive intra-abdominal visceral fat, as a woman with type 2 diabetes.

My great desire is to accomplish this and motivate others with my story. I would also like to hear stories from other type 2's who have had successful weight loss and use their stories to inspire others.

If you would like to join me and others as we strive to lose weight together, join us at the SparkPeople.com site. Here is my SparkPeople Page.

Aug 13, 2007 - I got stalled for a YEAR! I hurt my back and one morning took a bad fall. I got a head contusion and have post concussive syndrome. I was told to take it easy for months. So I did and then my neck and back froze! I have been going to a chiropractor and can now move my head and neck - HOORAY!! So I will be getting back into this adventure. I am now using Dance Dance Revolution, and loving it. This week my sister had a major surgery and I am helping her. I may not get to do an update immediately, but I will update as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience!!!!!

About Me: I am a mom with type 2 diabetes in my late 30's and I'm sick and tired of being overweight. I am also the editor of this website.

My Goals: I used to weigh close to 280 pounds and am starting here at 200 pounds. I want to get to 150 pounds.

I have set a series of small goals and have rewards promised by my hubby. (I have a feeling he thinks he won't have to pay up)

  1. 190 pounds - Portable DVD Player or Garmin Forerunner personal GPS with heart-rate monitor
  2. 180 pounds - Romantic Dinner at Expensive Restaurant
  3. 170 pounds - Day Spa - 4hrs
  4. 160 pounds - Day Spa - 6hrs
  5. 150 pounds - Day Spa - 6hrs with Sister
