New on FP

Hello, my name is Sheyla. I am new to Fitness Pal, my first day. I have over 100 pounds to loose. Yesterday I got my first bad report from my doctor saying that my cholesterol was high and my potassium and Vitamin D was low. Coming from a family with a history of high blood pressure, diabetics and early death caused by massive strokes, this report freaked me out. This was the click I needed to do something about my weight problem. Would love to meet people who struggle like me but are making it... with ups and downs which i know we all have but making it the best they can.
All the best the all...
Sheyla
