Hi,
I'm Les and I live in the UK, I am 58 years old (59 next month) and I have decided enough is enough, I am now the heaviest I have ever been in my life 271 lbs. I have been going to a gym for 3 or 4 years now thinking that working hard would be enough to lose weight but it is not you certainly have to watch what you eat working out and eating what you like does not work.
I, like I bet alot of you guys have been dieting to a fashion for most if not all our adult lives losing a stone or so and then putting it back and more. The older you get and the more ailments you have, I feel I am falling apart it the last couple of years I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure amongst other things.
So now it really is going to have to be a life style change, big time, so wish me luck as I start my journey to a better health life style, hope to make some good friends along the way.
Thanks for taking the time to read my intro, by the way I think the MFP site and apps are brilliant.
I wish everyone success on thier quest, some of the stories I have read so far have been fantastic and inspiring.
