Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to Hi and I hope this apps helps me lose weight. I just came from the doctors office this morning and I have some acid issues she thinks and I have to have blood work done on Monday and in three weeks she is going to evaluate me and more than likely give me high blood pressure medicine. My pressure was 156/100 today. It has been 160/90 or 168/80 on visit to her before so she said we need to get it under control. I told myself I have to lose weight. I always try and then for some reason just give up. I guess I lack the motivation. But I have to and I hope this place helps me.

    good luck. be careful with the sodium too.

    i take a BP med as well, and have been much more successful limiting calories than limiting sodium intake. Sodium seems to pop up in the most unexpected places (cottage cheese? really?). Anyway, good luck on your journey.

    Welcome! I find this site really helpful, especially because of the people. Their stories and ideas help to motivate me because, like you I find it difficult to motivate myself. Add me as a friend if you like.
