Hi, I'm new. Trying to lose weight weight to improve border-line high blood pressure and blood sugar and cholesterol. My family tree has lots of diabetes, strokes, high blood pressure and heart attacks. The doctor is giving me a few months to prove I'll really lose weight before he starts me on medications.

    Thanks! Good luck to you too. I like that the exercise and food log are so easy to keep.

    Good luck! I also come from a long line of heart issues and now my Mom has diabetes T2... I don't want to die early like my Dad and have been on HBP meds since the age of 30. This isn't just a "diet" and I also love how easy it is!!!

    Hope you can manage your health and live a very long and active life with the MFP help along the way!!!! Feel free to add me if you like... I love friends!

    Just about everyone on my Dad's side has Type 2 Diabetes. Now my older sister has it. My Dad had a stroke in his late 40's. I really want to head off the problems and postpone medicine as long as possible. But it's now my tax season and I spend most of my day glued to the office chair in front of a computer. Mega stress.
