I am 39 I am going through a weight loss journey I was at the heaviest in my live around February 2017 and had been struggling with weight for about the last 15 years. I had to take control and take a stand. My heaviest was 296lbs. I started to eat less but still ate crap food high in fat and sugar. December 2017 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My symptoms were very apparent. Blurred vision, frequent urination, general fatigue and soreness. I also had sleep apnea. This was a serious wake up call. January 1st 2018 I managed to get my weight down to about 240. I know I could do more. I completely restructured my dietary habits and learned a ton about nutrition. as of today I am the lightest I have been since high school (20 years ago) at 216Lbs. I feel amazing. and I believe I may have reversed my diabetes.
I am going to send you a friend request because I believe you can achieve. I have faith in you and I hope you the best! Good luck and God bless!1
