Morning from WV

Just thought I would take a sec and say hi. Life throws curve balls and now I am awake and making changes. Been sedentary for a while but not any longer. 5 weeks my mom had quadruple bypass surgery. Now that I know she is OK from that I am starting to improve my life. It's tough being an only child and my dad doesn't drive anymore. She still has medical issues due to 50 plus years of smoking but we will get through it. Personally I would like to drop 15 pounds so if started a food diary and will cvough up the money for a fitbit with heart monitoring. Ive been working out at the gym for a while. Just looking for support because we all need encouragement from time to time.

I love my Fitbit Charge HR—it was totally worth the money. It calculates your TDEE (the calories required to maintain your current weight) and syncs with MFP.

Fitbit challenges are great motivation—and fun!
