[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 674390, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. Exercise is always good and holding the alcohol down is always a healthy option but diet is the number one priority. You need to keep the carbs down a lot and hold the portion sizes. Yes, set yourself an initial weight target and I would suggest a carb target for starters. You probably need to stay below 150g/day and you will need a meter to monitor what foods affect you and by how much. Using the meter and scales you can adjust your food accordingly. It's a big challenge but if you stick with it, it will work. Some meds may also be needed such as Metformin but possibly not. [/QUOTE]
