If you are reading this we already have something in common, trying to figure out the weight loss game. What a curse to go through your entire life trying to lose weight. This blog will tell you what I have done, what I believe and what I am doing to manage my weight. I encourage your questions and comments.

Statistics

This is where I will list statistics that I find interesting, educational and shocking.
I will update this as I find information.

  • 23.6 million Americans have diabetes including 5.7 who don't know it!
  • 1.6 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each year!
  • 57 million Americans have prediabetes!
  • 1 in 3 Americans (1 in 2 minorities) born in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime if present trends continue!
It's VERY likely that you or someone you love dearly will be diagnosed with diabetes. So stopping diabetes must start now!
