Hi everyone. My name is Jenn and I am brand new to the myfitnesspal community. I am a 34-year old single mom, a lifetime resident of a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA, and I am trying to get myself back to my pre-baby weight. I gained 70 lbs. with my son and I haven't dropped an ounce since his birth just over three years ago! Also, I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and that was the final push to get me on track with weight loss and a healthier lifestyle. I will be the first to admit that I am horrible with diets and exercise so I need a lot of support! Wish me luck!

    Welcome Jenn:flowerforyou: Not only will you have high blood pressure , but run a risk of diabetes. I wish I had known and started this before my weight caused me these health problems. This is the greatest thing you can do for your body. Here's to good health and a long life:drinker: :heart:
