Hello everyone!

I've been slowly gaining weight the last few years, and had my first physical in years the other day. I was told I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high thyroid values, and that I'm anemic. :shock:

I used to be a software engineer, but was laid off about six years ago. The last five years I've traveled in my RV, creating a new life as an artist. Emotionally and spiritually uplifting and freeing, but I've been neglecting my body, and now I'm paying for it with health problems.

As soon as my doctor gave me the news, I felt strongly motivated to get back to eating in a more healthy way. I bought veggies, lean chicken and fish, some herbal supplements to help lower cholesterol, and am hoping to lose a minimum of 45 pounds, hopefully more.

I'm glad to have found this site, and hope we can all help each other to live a healthy and long life!!! :grin:
