Kicking Off the Healthizer – User Stories

To get the ball rolling on the development of the Healthizer app, I should start improving my own understanding of what it is exactly that I think I want to build. So, here is my first attempt at brainstorming some User stories to capture what I think the end user would want to see from this app, in the order in which I thought of them!
