Hello! I learned about this site after I downloaded this app to my phone, just to track meals & exercise. But really liking this setup! It's everything & more I've been wanting for online & moble support.

I decided earlier this year (after suffering months with ongoing, undiagnosed headaches - most likely stress/ strain) that I needed to make some changes and stick to them. With hypertension, diabetes, obesity, arthitis & addiction on both sides of my immediate family, I am the youngest & healthiest adult in my family (no diseases & kicked a nasty 6-year smoking habit). Along with being a single mother, I have the odds against me & too many reasons to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Through my faith & determination, I am recommitting myself to making & sticking with these changes. I took almost a break from the gym this month, and CAN NOT let that happen again. So thanks to this site, I have a tool that I can use to stay motivated. Feel free to friend me - we can be encouraged together! :happy:

    WELCOME! I am a newbie as well and like you I have all types of things running through both sides of my family, but most of all, I want to be HEALTHY so I can truly enjoy my son as well as myself as a person so this week I was like enough is enough! I have to do something with this baggage and added this app then went to the website and was WOWED! I have never been motivated like this in my life! Good luck to you and I wish you much success!
