I’m 20 years old, 5’10 and weigh 230 pounds. I’m also prediabetic. I’ve been struggling with my weight for a long time. I’ve been overweight for years and just recently became obese. I have attempted to lose weight through changing my exercise and diet, but I haven’t succeeded in reaching my goals.
