in Introduce Yourself
Hello MFP, Monday I will start the process of changing my life for the better. I am tired of being the Big Guy that ever one loves. I want to be the Fit Guy that every one looks up to. I'm 6'1", 325lbs and I'm fed up. Recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and sort of went into denial. Well I'm back now and I want to beat this disease. I think I've reached the point where you just say enough is enough. Wish me luck on my life's reboot.

    I would like to say wow.

    I'm impressed by your words, by you wanting to be the man that your wife married, and by your need to make your life better. I wish you luck and hope that your Monday starts just the same as my Monday, with hope and excitement for a better future. Hang in there! It wont happen in a day or a week, but it will happen.

    Hi, and welcome to the journey of your life. You'll have ups and downs, but don't give up. Dr. Oz and Dr. Furman's information and recipes have been a HUGE help to me. I am taking the green coffee bean extract that I saw and Dr. Oz show. That along with changing what I have been eating and exercising has been working for me. I would suggest that you read Eat To Live by Dr. Furman. Good luck!
