63 year old married, two grown children. Originally from Alabama, but have lived in Michigan off and on since 1986. I have asthma, but it's under control with medication. Became interested in juicing and eating more fruits and vegetables in February 2013, after watching "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" about Joe Cross and his weight loss. My weight then was 225. I'm 6'2", so I could carry it, but knew I was overweight and needed to get healthy and lower cholesterol and get my BMI in line. Through a better diet, more exercise, and cutting out the nighttime snacks, I'm well on my way to 190 lb. I may even try to get to 185, my high school weight! I love this site, and good luck to everyone on the same journey.
