Hi everyone! I'm wanting to lose about 150 pounds. Just spent the night in the hospital which scared me pretty bad. I have insulin resistance and was told by the dr today that I don't have bad cholesterol but it's not good either. Long story short I have to make a change in my life not only for myself but for my kids. I've decided to give this app a try. I'm lost and really don't even know where to start. Would love to make friends to provide motivation and support for one another.

I have at least 100 to lose and I just started as well. Would love to friend you if you want! Most of my real life friends only have 10-20 lbs to lose so they are not on the same journey.0
