in Introduce Yourself
Hey Everyone,

I'm a 29 year old guy from California. I have fatty liver and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last month. My doctor wants me to lose at least 40 lbs but I'm going to start by trying to lose 30 lbs. My weight has gone up and down over the years but now that my health is suffering (and I have to give myself insulin shots everyday) it's time for a real change. My doctor suggested this site because of the support and accountability. I hope she was right because my body is starting to fail me and I can't afford to lose this battle.

I look forward to making new friends and being inspired by the kindness and success of others. LGBT friends would be great but not a requirement.

Thanks,

Steve
