My name is John 'Big Mac' McInally and I've always had issues with my weight that have caused all sorts of health problems for me. So, to help motivate myself I've set up this blog to keep a journal of my journey.
This isn't the first time I've written a blog on my efforts, and certainly not the first time I've tried to lose weight, but hopefully this time I will be able to achieve the goals I've set myself and ultimately lose weight, become financially happy and have an altogether better life and relationship with my friends and family.
So, here are the health problems I currently have, all due to my weight:
- Type 2 diabetes,
- Raised blood pressure,
- Raised cholesterol,
- Sleep apnoea,
- Osteo-arthritis of the knee,
- Peripheral vascular disease, and
- Ulcers of the lower leg.
This list is extensive and quite frankly, embarrassing! But I feel its essential to be up-front and honest in order for me and everyone else to get the most out of this blog.
I'll be measuring myself tomorrow, things such as weight, inches etc and will update more tomorrow.
I also run a facebook group along side this blog, so please feel free to join in on there too. You can find the group here.
Good luck on your journey
