Hello My name is Matthew. I just found out a few weeks ago from my doctor that I need to change my horrible diet. Or I am on the verge of Diabetes. I used to eat whatever I wanted like cheeseburgers, fried chicken sandwiches. My wife and I both do not like to cook so we would always eat out every meal. So now I have changed my diet, we still eat out all the time except instead of cheeseburgers and friend chicken I will eat a salad or grilled chicken sandwich.
I have completely cut out soda and all other drinks like ice tea. I will only drink water. I already lost 15 pounds and hope to down to 220 or less.
I am on here to meet new people to find encouragement and to encourage others. If I can do it, anyone can.

    Hello and Welcome!

    That's awesome that you've made these changes for your health. That's the same reason I'm here. I knew I needed to lose a few but now I'm having problems with my blood pressure, so I really gotta do something.

    Good Luck and Keep up the good work! :smile:
