edited July 2017 in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone my name is Shannon and I just started this life change on Friday. My nutritionist introduced me to this app. I got some blood work back that prompted my change. I have 3 months to try and get my blood work changed. I also of course want to lose weight and the blood work was a kick in the pants to get started. My ultimate goal is to loose around 40 to 50 pounds. My first goal however is 17 to 20 in the first 3 months. I hope to get to know more people and look forward to all the positive energy I hope to be around!!! Feel free to add me!

    I got the kick in the pants from blood work as well in January of 2016. Since then I've lost 106 lb and gotten off blood pressure meds.

    I am unsure what you mean fitness ban but if it's something like Fitbit then that is what I have although it needs charging so I have just been using my phone for now.

    Hi. My story is similar. Gp gave me 3 months to lose 10 kg (22 lbs) to lower my blood pressure or she'd put me on medication. I started in May & have just reached that goal & my blood pressure has dropped. Sick of being obese tho so my journey continues. You can do it too!

    Feel free to add me for support. :-)
