Hi,
My name is Lori and I'm 62 year old wife, mom and grandma from Michigan the mitten state. I've been a member of My fitness pal since 2015, but was inactive. I recently found out that I have Diastolic Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension and was told I have less than 5 years to live by my doctors so here I am going to prove them wrong. I would like to gain some friends on here who I can support and can support me. I do work full-time so I can't spend a lot of time online but I'm always there if needed for support.

Have a great day!!!

    Hi, Lori, and welcome - from a fellow Michigander, age 68.

    I admit I don't know much about heart issues, but I admire that you're taking the reins to improve your own health. I'm kind of sub-par on the MFP friend side of things (more of a Community forum gal, I guess). But I wanted to stop by your thread and welcome you to the Community.

    I'm cheering for you to succeed with your goals!
