New Here

  • Hi I'm new here and looking for support. I originally joined years ago in the late 90's and did quite well but as years have gone by, have gained back plus lbs and find it's so hard to keep motivated. I am going to be 61 next month and wonder what thread would be best to join.
    Also, one thing I do not like about this website is all the porn pop-ups. Anyone else seeing all these pop-ups. Actually they are on the website and are not all popping up. I do have a pop-up blocker and somehow they are bypassing it. I am not a prude but do not appreciate all the pop-ups that are coming up. Anyway to disable that crap?
    Need to lose 50 to 70 lbs.
  • Hi Shelley, welcome to 3FC!

    Wow, that must be so frustrating to have that experience while browsing a weight loss website! It sounds like there is some sort of malware or adware that is hijacking your browser. It will display popup ads, such as porn, depending on the website you visit. Unfortunately, the term 'fat chicks' triggers the wrong response in that situation. You'll need to do a good scan of your computer using an updated program that checks for adware and malware. That will take care of the problem and make your entire internet experience a lot safe.

    We have an over 50 group that is fantastic! Maybe you'd like to check it out? http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/age-50-217/

    Good luck!
  • Suzanne, not sure what is going on because I have scanned my computer everyday and I show no problems. It is only happening when I come to this website. I just wonder if anyone else have ever complained.

  • I don't have this problem.
