Just introducing myself. I am John, father of 2 and husband to a wonderful woman. I have been out of shape for 10+ years and am ready to get back to the old me. I want to take my kids to Disney World next year and I want to ride all the rides with them, without any special belts. I want to see my girls graduate college & walk them down the isle on their wedding days. I want to live to see grand kids and be an old man.

3 years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic. You would think this would change my ways, but it didn't. I am determined this time to succeed and I am sure this app, website and program will help.

- John

    Weel John, I too was diagnosed diabetic and have been for 3 years. Watching others struggle and knowing I am headed down the same path wised me up. I was 90 lbs overweight. I am now a little under half way there and feel soooo much better already!! I too just want to live and enjoy! Its sooooo worth it. (We have 4 girls..23, 23, 18 and 17.) What better example am I to them now? I want to do this to be with my sweet hubby, them and the future grand children! Now that's motivation!
