Support at home is not real strong, so I will probably be going at it alone. Any help and support I can get here will be much appreciated, and…

Hi from Michigan
I decided that I really need to get in shape. I'm getting older and I want to be around for a while. I love this site and that I can access it from my phone. I checked my BMI and was shocked that I am just over the line to being obese. That's really scarry. I have to change that ASAP. So I'm trying.
