Ok. So, while I joined fatsecret in 2007; I really have not used it. I joined because of hte feature that sends you messages every so often about your weight.

Now, however, I am ready to lose weight. My partner and I fulfilled a life long dream and began the process for adopting a kid. I want to have more energy and be around for him.

More to the point, I know that obsesity leads to a host of health issues and challenges as I age. I would like a long life with relatively good health.

The time that I finally quit smoking cigarettes several years ago; I was able to do it through a site like this one - journaling and sharing with others. So, if it worked then, it might work again!!
