Need help and great friends!

My name is Dave, and I need to lose about 120 lbs. I'm 44, former pro hockey player, current fat guy. Looking for people to help me out on this journey. I am finally serious about this. I was told I have diabetes, but not on meds. I'm on meds for high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I don't want to be on any meds!! I have a 4 year old daughter that I want to be around for. Any help, and friends will be greatly appreciated. I log all my food everyday. Thanks, for looking!!
