Welcome to the site!

welcome aboard

Welcome Christy - sounds as though you have lots of experience already - well done! I look forward to seeing your contributions on the board, and I'm sure that you will get great support on here. I don't like the word dieting either - I prefer to regard it as taking responsibility for what you eat and for your body and entire lifestyle - for good.
