I am at least 100 pounds overweight (I refuse to get on the scale-call it denial) and have sleep apnea. There is a strong family history of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and I am pretty sure I am next. I have been overweight most of my life, and have tried many diets. Some worked..most didnt, but in the end I always ended up gaining it all plus. Now I think I have broken a record for my weight and I need to do something. I need help!! I hope I can find some here.

P.S... any fellow Canadians, Ontarians, Niagarans here??
