Hi im Karl.

Im a 28 year old 6'3 350lb newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic, with hypertension and high LDL cholesterol levels and low HDL. I was diagnosed back in july and although Ive managed to lose 50 pounds so far this year, im looking to speed up the weight loss process by completely turning up the intensity and dedication as the meds that they have me on are killing me! I felt better when i was literally dying! Ive been looking around the internet the last couple of days for a good health and fitness/weight loss community to keep me focused and motivated, after looking around i think ive found the right place!

MY 5 MONTH GOALS ARE
Drop 50lbs by april
lower my LDL
raise my HDL
lower my blood pressure
get off of the Lantus needle and oral medication.

thanx for the reply and welcome, yeah it does suck, especially when i think about the fact that all i had to do was watch what i ate and get off of my ass and be active for atleast 3o minutes a day and all of this would have been avoided. But now that i know about the type 2 diabetes, my change of diet has done wonders for my weight! i must have dropped 25lbs just by avoiding sodas and white bread!
