My Name is Jim and I am here because if I don't lose weight I am going to die. I am a 57 year old male that has type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 12, My BMI is very high because I weigh 327 pounds at 6Foot tall. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, COPD and Peripheral artery disease in my legs and I am so tired of always hurting I want to enjoy my grand kids who are just getting to the age we can go to the river or the woods. Thanks and I hope to here from some of you!!

    Jim . . . I am a retired nurse of 32 yrs and that is a very high A1C. I am so proud you have a determined spirit about this now. I can assure you several of these problems will resolve with weight loss and exercise. Your grandkids will be so happy to have you around for many more years. Get Going dude . . . you GOT this . . . don't get discouraged, stay strong and take it one day at the time, WEIGH your food and log accurately. Keep the faith, it WILL happen!!
