For me, i had weight issues about 2 years ago. I weighed around 230 lbs. I was eating the wrong foods, because i thought that they were good. But, then i knew that i had to change, because my doctor checked my cholesterol, and it was at 227. I was in shock, but he told me that i had to make a change immediately, or it will cost me. I started baking my foods, such as chicken and turkey, eating veggies and more fruits and yogurt. I got checked again, and i weigh about 190 now, because i followed these steps.
