Hi Barbara, and welcome to the forum, you will find tons of support and a wealth of information, you just have to start poking around and find it. I found it very difficult to find my way around in the beginning, but then, I'm sort of an idiot when it come to technology, lol...As Janet said, take a look at the ATKINS PLAN that works best for you, I believe if you have over 40 pounds to lose then try the 40 plan, don't be too strict with yourself ant first, this is going to be a learning experience and btw, congrats on the loss so far, Good Luck to you, stop by my journal sometime, I love company. ttyl
