in Getting Started
Hello so I am not very good at connecting online. I am usually a stay to myself kind of guy. Recently I found out my cholesterol is very high and I have been battling with high blood pressure. I am in need of losing 50+ pounds and eating more healthy.
I also realize I cannot do this alone. So I am attempting to reach out to make new friends and get accountability.

Thanks

    Welcome! I just joined yesterday kind of on a whim. I did not plan to start a weight loss plan just yet but somehow landed here yesterday. I do not have the perfect food selections in my house but I will do the best I can this week and then shop for a clean week of eating next week with pictures and measurements and all....
    Good luck!

    Thank you! I jumped into this because of health complications. I also have bad choices for food at home and doing my best.

    First suggestion to you is to keep healthy food selections at home that you enjoy. Welcome!

    Most of the people on here are great and offer lots of super advice! If I can offer a little advice it would be to take baby steps, throw away the scale, and set attainable goals. :) Wrap your mind around the concept that food is only to survive and not how it tastes. Good luck in your journey!
