Friends for motivation

I'm 51 yrs old. I need to loose about 100 lbs. I have high blood pressure. Cholesterol issues and osteoarthritis in my knees!! I'm in line for weightloss surgery but would like instead to do it on my own. Motivation needed!!

    Hi I'm 53 and need to loose 20+ pounds in 15 weeks. I have MS and sleep issues. My sister introduced me to this app and I'm in my second week. In the past I have given up before I complete my goal. I lost 6lbs. my first week. I'm determined to finish my goal.

    I would think that high blood pressure, cholesterol issues and arthritis in the knees would be all the motivation needed to want to lose weight?
