Hello Everyone

Hi guys and gals my name is Mike. I have recently gotten serious about getting back in shape and paying attention to my diet. I am only 32 but I'm already starting to notice the consequences of a reckless diet. Not only that but I watched my father passed away at 56 due to complications from diabetes. Until the day he died he paid no attention to what he was eating. The wave I am riding was when I decided I wanted to go skydiving. I started to look through the information and found out that I am too heavy to go skydiving.

I started getting serious about a week ago. When I started I weighed 260 and have already dropped down to 248. Although have drastically reduced the amount of calories I eat, I am more interested in crafting a diet that is sustainable and healthy. I can say that the majority of that drastic weight loss was from the almost complete elimination of processed sugars. I have always been a big Coca-Cola Drinker and bread eater.

I look forward to interacting with everyone and I'm still learning the capabilities of this app. I am highly interested in recipes and I'm also willing to share some of mine. The idea that eating healthy means eating Bland is such a sad misconception. If anyone would like to add me as a friend we can go on this journey together.
