I have been overweight most of my life.  I have tried many different types of diet, none of which have worked...at least long term.  I have high blood pressure and pre-diabetes which isn't diabetes.  Basically my sugars are higher than normal but not diabetic high.  They say that diet and exercise should hopefully prevent it from advancing into diabetes.  Quite frankly I have a horrible family medical history.  Everyone on my Dad's side of the family, including me, has had their gallbladders taken out except for my brother.  Many are also diabetic.  My Dad has had problems stemming from his diabetes including eye problems and leg problems.  He also has had a 5 bypass, 4 stints, and is on many meds.  Anyway the point that I am getting at is that many of these issues are weight related.  I see the beginning of these issues with me and I do not want to be like them.  I need to be healthy.  I am engaged and want to live a long and happy life with my fiance and his kids and hopefully some of our own.  I want to be 80 and be alive to see my grandkids.  I have tried many diets and nothing has worked.  I am hoping this will be a great tool to a healthier lifestyle so that I can have the things that I want out of my life.
