Not new to the site, but new to the community.

Hello! I'm interested in sharing experiences with people like me: female, over 40, with 100+ pounds to lose. I was just diagnosed with high blood pressure and I am pre-diabetic. I'm also in the middle of a divorce and preparing to launch my daughter into college. I will also be blogging because I want to look back on my journey from time to time.

I'm less inclined to participate in public forums and I would like instead to establish some friends here on the site who have similar challenges to mine and who don't mind sharing their logs with me. I have my share settings set to "Friends".
