Hi my name Laura and I just joined a few days ago. I am trying to get in better shape. I have gone from being on five blood pressure medications to one and would like to get off that one as well. I also am a well controlled diabetic type 2 and if can lose about 40 pounds my doctor will consider taking me off my metformin and glimepiride. These are my two biggest goals. I recently purchased a Garmin Vivofit 2 fitness tracker and have been averaging between 14,000 to 20,000 steps a day. I basically am looking for friends on here to support me and to share successes and times when falling short with.
