Hello from Nebraska
I've been a member for a while but decided to jump in tonight. At the end of October, we had our family picture taken. I was devastated. The person I see in the mirror never really resembles the person in the picture.. and in my head, I'm still 22 years old instead of 38... so the picture of that fat woman smiling with her…

I'm scared....
I've already got this ridiculous "apron" of fat on my stomach, and I'm afraid of what I will look like if I actually do lose the 50+ pounds that are weighing me down. Yes, my knees hurt, my feet hurt, my bones and joints hurt. Luckily I'm not diabetic. I have a gym membership, but don't go. I know what to do and don't do…

Yet another question(s)
OK, I've been checking out the site. Maybe this is here but (and this isn't unusual at all) maybe I can't see the forest for the trees. Happens all the time to me. Is there a pie chart which will tell you the percentage of carbs/protein/fats that you had during the day? Also, should it ever become necessary, is there a way…
