I'm doing it because My health has got worse due to overweight, I have type 2 diabetes, and cos of that have skin problems and now high blood pressure, I also want to look better and be able to choose nice clothes etc. Also due to have ovaries removed this year, doc has said it will be easier if I weigh less, and of course will reduce cancer risk for me. OV cancer runs high in our family, and I want to reduce any risk I have. I REALLY need to lose.
