I just downloaded the app and am hoping it will help! I have some health problems (Psoriatic Arthrtis) and need to shed some weight to help with that. I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and have slowly packed on the pounds. I have a sluggish metabolism because I only eat one big meal a day (dinner) and don't get nearly enough exercise (office job, hubby, two girls and a house to keep up with!).

My youngest just started university and my oldest graduates from university this year. So I figured it was time I started taking care of me at the ripe old age of 38!! (actually I'll be 39 this month!). So here I am! 

    Hi Ronni

    You can add me too I am 37 and live in Hawaii. I just started today as well. Need all the help and motivation. I went to the doctor today and it looks like I have to take blood pressure medicine. It was 156/100. This is not the first time it has been high when I seen her. I keep trying to lose weight but then I pack the pounds back too. Hoping this app and the friends I make in here will help me.
