I am 5' 8" and 48 years old. I have been over weight all my life. Jan. 2013 I was at 335lbs and my diabetes was out of control even though I was on meds for it. I had gave up and decided that I was just destined to live a short life. Then something clicked. As of the morning I am at 236lbs and I am off all my diabetes meds. My glucose levels run in the low 80's. My blood pressure is now normal. I bike 4 times a week with each workout 17+ miles. I have been given a 2nd chance.
