Hi there. Welcome to DF! I'm sure we have a magician around here somewhere...

Exercise is so important. Having high numbers like those, and no meds, and eating a "less than ideal" diet - all magnify the need for exercise. Doing enough exercise to compensate for all that will require better fuel (improved diet) too. Just a thought.

So this is a great place to learn about all these things. You'll be hearing about carbs and cutting back on them, especially refined carbs like breads, white rice, potatoes and such. Does any of this sound familiar or is it all new for you?
