About Me
http://www.walkwithchappy.com - For Live Broadcasts!

My name is George Chaplin,

I am 28 years old, I recently got enggaged to the love of my life Ashley White, My weightloss started when I was around 600lbs & I found out that I have type two diabetes with a blood sugar of over 550+, & severe high blood preasure & severe edema in the legs.

I visited a local doctor in Webstercity, Iowa. Who basically gave me the realization of a death certificate. He didn't think I would make it within the year..

A spark of inspiration came when I had to tell my family once again. I might die. See I almost gave up on life in Oct. 4th 2006. To a very bad suicide attempt which involved a chemical inbalance due to the ' Monster Energy Drinks ' I was taking hoping to loose weight.. That's a differnt storie..

Once I found inspiration to live I was left with the reality that my weight my kill me once again.. I decided to fight back in little hopes that I might actually suceed this time.

I got on a program called Iowa Cares & started seeing a doctor in Iowa City Iowa. At the University of Iowa Health Care Clinic.

After a long year & taking many medications daily & finding inspiration with friends online. That motivated me not to just leave the computer to walk, But to actually take the computer with me! Hints: WalkWIthCHappy.com was born.

With the support & inspiration from those friends I was able to maintain a healthy exercise schedule daily! Hints: How I got down to 533lbs.

There was still some thing very much lacking in my diet, A online meal calculator that actually helped me & shown me what I was eating..

My nutrioustist after 6 months of seeing her finally introduced me to this site... I think it will add the extra edge that I needed. Please feel free to add me as a friend & even drop me a line..

Remember not to only inspire others, But to inspire your self! God Bless I love you all..

P.s My blood sugars stay between 70-120 most the time & some times peak to around 150 but hardly ever 200! My blood preasure is completely normal now & the edema is almost gone accept for my left leg where it bounces back & fourth.. The enlarged heart they thought woudl kill me is no longer enlarged or miss diagnosed all completly,

God has truly given me my secound chance at life & I REFUSE TO QUIT.
