I'm new here - actually I downloaded the app on my phone first and then came over to the site.
My goal is to lose my excess weight and get into a healthy BMI range so that I can feel and look better, and decrease risk factors for chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. I also want to set a good example for my daughters.
I haven't looked around the forums much yet, and I'm not on a computer that much these days, but I'll check in whenever I can and provide encouragement and support to other community members too.
Wishing everyone a healthy, happy day!
