Seeing support and motivation to improve health.,,

Hi, I'm seeking online support, motivation and friendship in improving my health. I'm a 43-year-old, single female from the Midwest hoping to lose 100-plus pounds to help alleviate high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, reflux (LPR) and sleep apnea. I recently underwent a hysterectomy to beat endometrial cancer, and also recently eluded a pharyngeal (throat) cancer scare when the tumor disappeared on its own in response to both medication and switching to the GERD Diet. Let's just say it was a wild roller-coaster of a year, medically-speaking, but I feel so blessed to still be here--and to hopefully be moving in the right direction! My main goals are to lose weight, track my carb intake (with which MFP is a HUGE help), and to restore my pH to a more alkaline balance. I am also looking to lower my sodium and sugar intake. All of these goals seem like such a tall order at times, that any support and encouragement would be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to add me, if you would like.
