  • Hey everybody! I'm from the Cincinnati area and am starting today on my journey to lose weight and get in shape. My daughter gets married next year in June, so this only helps me to get more motivated. High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol are my demons. Losing my weight and exercising, will get rid of those. There seems to be a lot of love in this group, so I'm happy to join you. God Bless everyone on their individual journey's!!
