Hi, my name is AuraJean. I have gained a lot of weight since becoming disable with Multiple Sclerosis. And to add to that, I have type 2 diabetes. I had a lap band put in back in 2010 and recently had it removed. Every time I ate, I got sick. It seems since I had it removed, I have gained about 20 lbs. Today, my A1C is at a 12 and that is horrible. The doctor told me that I need to get it down below a 7. I have been having trouble with my legs swelling and being depressed..so, I eat. Needless to say, that nibbling has been a real issue. I am married and today he told me that I have gained a lot of weight. I have to get this off. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and I seem to be always walking in circles trying to get stuff done. So, I know I have to get busy exercising and eating better...so I joined this group. Hopefully, I will succeed...I am tired of being heavy. If anyone has any ideas to help me achieve my goal, please share them with me. I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks for letting me join this group...AuraJean from Maryland
