Well I did it..became a part of a Community! ha! My name is Diane, I live in Texas and have struggled with weight from about the age of 40. I am 66. I do want to try to remain strong as best I can. I do take some medications, but choose to be off of them...I am thinking this is a good start. Main thing is being consistent, and keep going, I can do really well for awhile and then it's like I get bored with it. Plus I don't feel like I have any strong support... With that being said, I think being a part of this community will help keep me motivated, it's already been an inspiration to me!!!!!
Thank you for this great APP! Now I have to learn my way around it!!! So much to look at and from what I have seen so far...Lots of GREAT Information!!!!!!

    Great. Try not to run or over run in start. Just start with walk of 15 min a day. Check your calories intake if possible
