I am 53 & have always prided myself on never having to take daily medications for blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes
even though I've been overweight for a few years now. I went for my yearly physical with a new doctor last week. I am so glad I found her!! She told me I have 6 months to lose 38 pounds or I would be on medication for blood pressure be cause I am borderline hypertensive. Every other doctor I have been to just danced around the fact that I am overweight. I would rather have a doctor who tries to make me get my act together & get healthy instead of one who only wants to treat a preventable illness.
She recommended this site to keep me accountable, so here I go
