Introduction Text A diagnosis of Diabetes has a sobering, get serious message. I got the message, now I have to adjust my happy carefree lifestyle to a new reality. Hence the name Hungrymummy.

Start 2/25/16 216 lbs First goal: April 24th, lose 17 lbs to get to 199. *MET* Second goal: May 23rd (90 days from diabetes diagnosis) lose another 5 lbs to get to 194 AND no longer test as diabetic. *MET* Third goal: October 30, 2016 reach 160 lbs and become overweight instead of obese. Figure out next goal at that point.

Still learning carb counting and only starting with VERY modest exercise. Update 9/9/2016 I'm up to 2 hours of exercise most days-that's not very modest exercise! It's a combination of strength training at least twice a week, daily slow walking, and fast walking or stair step machine another 2 times a week. I'm still tracking obsessively with an eagle eye on carbs because of being diabetic, but I'd like to get more trusting of myself to eat reasonably all the time--a lifestyle--instead of tracking every bite.

I'm Connie, from Milwaukee, WI and like to garden, read, and cook.
