Hi, My name is Yvonne (CherryStuff) I'm 67, and I have been using My Fitness Pal for about a month. Such a great app, and very easy. I am married with one adult child, three dogs and two beautiful cats. I am a retired teacher and live in Fort Mohave, AZ. Five years ago, I was hospitalized for a month with Guillain Berre Syndrome (GBS). It left me with MANY health problems and unable to do most of the things I love doing. As a result, I have gained about 60 extra pounds, most from inactivity, but also from all the medication I have to take. Six weeks ago I became very depressed and angry with myself and finally got into the mind-set to change my lifestyle. I have lost almost 14 pounds and feel much better. I try to walk everyday, but some days the neuropathy and the nerve pain keep me down. With all that said, I am finally on my way to a much healthier lifestyle. Looking forward to making new friends on My Fitness Pal.
