I'm new to all this!

Hi, just thought I would find out what this msg board thing was about. I'm new to the whole dieting thing. I am 31yrs with a 5yr old. I have a health history a mile long including thyroid cancer about 16yrs ago. So, it's been really hard for me to lose weight. I want to start a new life without my husband and be healthy and happy again. Having a hard time with this whole thing, but I have my two fave cousins doing it with me so that helps a lot when I'm at work. At home? That's a different story....

    Welcome; just stick with it and you will see results. I have a question for ReneDavidson - how did you get your "weight loss ticker" and the other info in your forum response; I have tried and the "help" info was not helpful! Thanks,
