I felt overweight, I had a hard time getting on my horse and I had a lot of pain in my ankles, knees and back. I knew I wanted control of my health. I was diagnosed pre-diabetic and with high cholesterol. I was determined to change that diagnoses and get healthier. Surprisingly, the weight came right off and I was never hungry. My health improved and the pain went away. Now I can get up and down off of my horse with no problem. It is so wonderful! I can enjoy horseback riding pain free. I am now at the weight I was when I got married 26 years ago and still not a bad looking guy.
