Hello from south Texas

Greetings everyone, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself . I'm a army veteran who has struggled with weight since after my military service. I'm sitting at 243lbs at 5'10" and I do have some medical issues but I figured I'm not the only one. I have tried many diets but I am hoping for a positive outcome from this app. My goal is to drop at least the 43lbs with in a ten month period. I'm going for broke
