Toni H. traineo Newbie Posts: 1 Toni H. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes a few years ago. Despite getting off to a good start on weight loss, starting a new business with my new found energy pretty much erased that. Now I need to get back on track.	# Posted: 13 Nov 2007 19:32 Hello all. So I have got to lose about 70 lbs - I'm just not sure how or when I ever gained that much weight and I quite honestly feel like !@#$%^&* because of it. Part of the problem in recent years is I moved from the east coast - where all the people I used as motivators in my daily life still are - to Western Wisconsin with my husband. Portion sizes here are insane, and all the people I know are exercise zealots (which doesn't work for me because I have joint injuries) or don't exercise at all, making me actually look svelte. I even tried Weight Watchers, and all I got was a roomful of women who complained about how it's so difficult to lose weight, but seemed to do little about it. It's insane. So since I am an internet professional with an at-home business I decided to try this out. I've added traineo to my "Morning Coffee" plug-in on Firefox and asked my oldest friend to join and motivate me, so I use that elliptical machine in the basement But I'm always willing to have some other motivation as well! Wish me luck...and willpower...

It's good that you have an elliptical machine, those ones are really easy to get used and make you stick to a routine (something that I really think is really hard)

Lisa Parziale traineo Regular Posts: 45 Lisa Parziale I began my health and wellness goals after being told by my doctor I was pre-diabetic and borderline high blood pressure. After a scuba diving trip that did not go well (due to my poor health), I decided to try and she the extra pounds. It was important to me to find a helathy, well-balanced program that would not only give me a jump start, but also allow me to learn how to make a lifestyle change to better health and wellness. About 30 days ago, I found out about Isagenix through a co-worker. In the past 30 days, I have released 20 pounds and lost 4 inches in my waist, going from a size 12 to a size 6!! My goal is for another 10 pounds, which I would like to shed by December 31st. Along with 4 other coworkers, we have had great success in losing our weight. Getting through the holidays and working toward our goals is ahead. Once we do that, we then plan on implementing what we have learned to maintain our new found health and wellness. Isagenix has been a life changer for myself, my coworkers and my partner.	# Posted: 14 Nov 2007 04:53 AS they say, taking the first step is the hardest! Sounds like you are well on your way.
