Canada entry #68

[Doug Varrieur]

Hello,

 I'm a 48 year old male who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes  my present weight is 244 lbs. At one point I was 255 lbs  it seemed to take for ever to lose ten pounds or so. However, I can't seem to shake off anymore. I don't want to be on medication all my life, as I know it will have negative side effects down the road. Another reason why I need to lose weight is for an upcoming operation to repair a hernia. I hate to use cliches, "it sucks getting old" I'd like to change that outlook.

After reading, your article on Doug Varrieur in The Ottawa Sun it inspired me to try and do the same.

So yeah  !

Please put my name in the hat for a chance to win his book, as I'd like gain some control in this department of my life.

Thanks for reading,

Regards,

Claude
