Hey everyone, Mike here, writing from LA. I'm 53 years old, and my main focus right now is getting my health into the best shape I can. My wife lost her battle with diabetes 5 years back. If I had the knowledge I have today back then, perhaps the outcome would not have been the same. These days, though, I'm walking my own path toward better health. It began when I hurt my knee, and at this point I feel better than I have in quite a while. Looking forward to talking and exchanging experiences. Wishing everyone good health.
 
Hey Mike, great to meet you! I think it's really admirable that you've chosen to make a change for your health. It's never too late & I've witnessed that firsthand.

I'm so sorry you lost your wife. The sorrow and all those "what if's" you must carry, I can only imagine. Still, I'm certain she's watching over you and feeling very proud.

I've seen many folks hit a certain age and simply coast, never actually seeing through the journey back to a healthier life. Particularly from those outside this space, I hear plenty of skepticism, saying "well, what if it does this... and that?.. you'll never truly maintain that weight..." I've finally just started replying with "what if it works."

We share the same goal of getting as healthy as we possibly can, and I wish you nothing but success and strength.
