    I just joined this site as well- I joined a health club a few months ago and found out about this site from someone there.
    I like the idea of tracking my food and exercise on line- that should help me out alot!
    I am 48, mother of 2 and need encouragement every step of the way!

    Best of luck to all of us!!:wink:
