Hi! Looking to make some friends for my new journey!

Hi! My name is Michelle, I am hoping to make some friends for my new healthy life change. I recently had the scare of my life. Two weeks ago I had my second stroke, it was due to my high blood pressure. I know now, it is time to make some changes. I am looking for all the support and advice I can get. My weight today is 214lbs my long term goal is 130, but for now we will start out with 5lb increments. Any input is greatly appreciated at this point. Thank you in advance!
