I need to lose 150lb's as well. Been overweight my whole life almost but never cared about eating right or exercising until the past six months when I developed fatty liver, elevated cholesterol, SEVERE irritable bowel (have had IBS my whole life just never this bad), a hernia in my esophagus from chronic GERD, and I have…
