I'm Jon, 61, and I live in south Florida. This past autumn my wife convinced me to see a doctor. My first visit to the doctor for something non-injury related in more than 35 years. I felt fine, but I wanted help losing some weight. Turns out I was on death's doorstep. The doctor found that I have uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, asthma and I was 145 pounds overweight.
Today is DAY 103 of my journey back to the old, healthy me. I've been on medication for a little over three months to control my medical issues and I have really started eating right, even through the holidays.
I'm looking forward to joining a couple of groups and both giving and getting the support I need to reach my 2025 goals.
