My Story

Where to begin , I am a 42 year old male who has had a weight problem all of my life. I have tried weight loss many times the most sucessful was when I was on weight watchers. I tried it back in 1990 @ 325 lbs and lost 75 lbs, kept it off for a little while but as soon as I went off plan I regained the 75 lbs plus. Over the years I yoyoed taking some off and putting it back on again then a friend suggested we try weight watchers again, which I did this time I weighed in a 327 lbs and over the year I was doing weight watchers I lost 115 lbs, this was great I was off all my medication ( I Have High Blood Pressure, High Colesterol & GERD) and feeling better than I ever felt before but then again, went off plan and regained all of my weight plus !!  I now weigh 366, After long thought and discussion with Family, Friends and My Primary Care Doctor I concluded that I need to take additional steps to help control my weight problem.
