Hello!

Karyn1120

I've been online for about 5 weeks now -- am I glad my brother told me about this website!

I'm 49 years old and have been heavy most of my adult life. I'm 5'2, and have weighed 190 pounds (+ or - 20 lbs) for almost 30 years. I've been very lucky...my health has been pretty good despite the extra weight.

Over the past couple of years I've been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Since my joints have been pretty good, it didn't motivate me to lose. However, my doctor recently told me I had both high blood pressure and pre-diabetes. Talk about a scare! I have 2 wonderful kids and I want to be around for them as long as possible.

I've been doing Wii Fit regularly - and playing the games too (bowling, tennis, etc.). My youngest daughter has finally gotten me to try the Wii game "Just Dance'. Some of the Wii exercises are on the site, but not all of them. Does anyone know how many calories are burned, or where I can find the info? I'd like to log them online if possible.

Always looking for new friends!
