I'm as new as you can be to computers. My son uses it to play World of Warcraft. My beautiful daughter told me to find this website to help me lose wieght. I have 5 kids. The oldest 33, the youngest 15. I am 55 and have never had a real wieght problem until the last 5 years. Every year I have gained at least 10 lbs. This year I quit smoking and every time I get wieghed it is more than the last time. :cry: It took me all morning to learn how to get on this web!!!!! I look forward to meeting people here and learning more to do on the computer! I REALLY hope to lose wieght for a change. If someone responds to this, I'll be shocked! :smile: Hope everyone out there is losing wieght today!!!!
