I am a stroke survivor and want to lose a few pounds, then maintain my weight. I suffered an ischemic stroke in may, 2008 that affected my left side and the frontal sight in my right eye. I was in therapy for over 2 years and now walk without a cane. I went through some difficult periods both physically and emotionally, but never never gave up. I am a recent new member of both my fitness pal and runtastic pedometer pro. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everybody.
