|  Hello Everyone
I am extremely excited to be on the right track to a healthy lifestyle. I'm 6'0" and peaked at 340lbs about a month ago. I have a large frame and everyone thinks I only weight around 275 so they are usually shocked to find out my real weight. But in the last month I also found out that I have Fatty Liver Disease and if not corrected, will lead to liver failure sometime in the future. Talk about a motivator! I have changed my eathing habits and started going to the gym 5 days a week with a personal trainer.
Anyway, I'm glad this group is here for support when needed.

Oh no!! I'm not very familiar with fatty liver disease, what does that entail? Welcome to the site! How have you changed your eating habits so far? You're on the right track it seems!

Fatty Liver Disease is where fat begins to build up in your liver. It causes your liver to enlarge and if not caught soon enough, your liver will develop scar tissue, which is very bad, and can lead to liver failure.
