Hey I'm just getting started on MFP and I love the site and app.... I have been trying for years to loose weight. I have support from my husband and a few true friends but I think I need some friends on here that can help support, encourage and help keep me moving.

I was VERY sick a few weeks ago and hospitalized for very serious case of Phenomena. I am just now able to start trying to walk for longer than 5 minutes at a time. But after today I dont think i should yet because when i was done after 10 min i couldnt breath for hours and my lungs hurt very bad. Ive been in the medical field my self for 9 years and its runs all through my family so i know how serious it can get and how close i was to that. so i know not to push it but i need to move. i do all the diet and healthy eatting and cutting out my PEPSI if i cant add the exercise to help myself more?

See ya'll this is why i need the extra support. Thats why i need to add friends here so that not only can i get support but i can also help others and support them

Thanks
Michelle
