Hi
My name is Don, I am 49 and overweight. I have always been an active person in pretty good shape but in the last 3 years I have gained an enormous amount of weight and it is affecting how I feel. I'm 5'8 and have always weighed between 185 and 195 lbs. I'm a recovering alcoholic and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 4 years ago, I've been sober for the last 4 years and was put on some psych medications for the bipolar, the meds cause me to crave sweets and have an appetite that can't be satisfied. In 3 years I have gone from 185 lbs to 234 lbs, I feel fatigued and short of breath most of the time. Today I have made a decision to turn things around, I used fitnesspal before and it helped before, If I can stay sober than I can loose weight and live a healthier life. I would appreciate any suggestions, support, feedback, etc and if I can be of any help or encouragement to anyone, I would love to be apart of the community.
