in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Antwan.
This past June I suffered a heart attack and had two stints placed. I am a diabetic, have high blood pressure and cholesterol and another recent scare with my heart has brought me here to try to help me get things under control before I lose my life. I am young 43 years old and have so many heath issues and now am afraid of the worst. My wife has been using this site and I have seen how much it has helped her. She has inspired me to want to live a healthier lifestyle. And from now on I will let her do the grocery shopping and not nag on her to buy me junk food anymore. Ha Ha. She made me write in that part. Could use some friends and some encouragement as I start this new lifestyle. Thanks

    Welcome Antwan,
    You will find some super people on here. You have already made a huge step by coming on here and asking for help, and with the support of your wife that is fabulous. I didn't have many friends at first, but I have some awesome ones now that is for sure. Don't be afraid to view a lot of posts, comment on them and add friends, especially in "motivation/support" . And me if you would like and I wish you the best of luck. You can do this, I believe in you.
