I am 43 years old, diabetic(2)and I do not smoke or drink. I am a college graduate holding two degrees in Accounting and the other in Marketing. I am disabled and can not get around as well as I should or used to but I am trying to increase activities as I can. When I was a young guy I was into kickboxing, running, and weight lifting of which I still try to lift which normally puts me on the sideline for a few days. I do try to get out and walk, due to my disability I was only able to get about 30 or 40 yards at a time but I have bettered this to almost 75 yards before having to stop due to pain. I am looking to loose weight due to loosing my brother from a heart attack and loosing my mother with complications from diabetes (hepatic failure). I want to ensure my health as much as I can and I really would like to be at my fighting weight one more time before I myself pass away. At one point I was considering by-pass surgery, however I'm not a big fan of getting cut on. So this is a nut shell of my story, I just hope this all will work for me. My pic is as current as I have, about a year ago but I have maintained this weight since then.
