This site is a God send for me. My husband has been diagnosed with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes (pills for now), and needs to lose about 60 lbs. This site allows me to keep a track of his intake without having to go to a 1000 other sites to look up food,etc.. Everything is right here for keeping his records on diet and exercise.

He is going to have a hard time with this diet so being able to find recipes that people have actually tried and liked will be great. I have seen him struggle with his weight for years and I feel confident this site will be of great value to both of us.

Whoever started this site, and the people who have helped build it, have my deepest appreciation.

Best of luck to everyone with their individual needs.

B-t-w, it is frustrating for the person who is planning and preparing the meals, i.e. me, as well as the person who is actually on the diet. I am new at dieting and have many things to learn. He has tried to lose weight in the past but soon becomes frustrated and so do I. This time though his health is really in danger and I am adamant about making this lifestyle change. He is now ready to really make the plunge and forge ahead toward his set goal.

    Glad to hear - and welcome!

    Mike is the creator - and I would say that all of us members have helped him "build it" with our thoughts, suggestions, feedback - and by being a part of this great community.

    Mike deserves all the credit for MFP!

    Welcome to the boards & good luck to you! My dad has type 2 diabetes & that's the main motivator (outside of my children) that has me on this site. I hope you both have great success! Family support is SO important with health concerns. :flowerforyou:
