    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new and trying to figure everything out.
    I chose a custom Avatar but it wouldn't show up. Don't know what's going on with that, but I guess I'll eventually figure it out.

    I'm a semi retired woman in my 60's and have diabetes and an extra 100+ pounds that I'm trying to lose. There are so many forums and threads on this community, but I'm sure I'll eventually land someplace.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Today I ordered a Track3 calorie and carb counter which I think will help immensely as it stores everything for up to a year and you can download all the info to your computer too.
    I always have trouble finding ALL the nutrients info in one book and end up with about 3 different books in front of me.

    I exercise in a pool when I DO exercise as it's so much easier on my gimpy knee.
    Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks in advance, ..... Nancee

    Hi Nancee, Welcome!! I know you will find lots and support and information here. Wonderful people!! I post on a site called 50+, the Golden Girls. It's a group of older ladies who are so supportive and, since they are "older" understand that it's a little harder for us. But we can be done and we're living proof!!! come on over and join us.

    Hi NANCEE . . . . . . so glad you found us, Chickie . . .

    Here's a couple of places you might like to visit. First of all, here's a link to the Age 50+ Forum that The Slim Me already mentioned . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=217 . . . And here's a link to the Diabetes Support Forum . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=203

    I'll be looking forward to getting to know you better in both of those places.

    PS . . . that looks like a Custom Avatar to me . . . definitely don't think it's one of our regular ones . . . maybe I'm misunderstanding your question? give me a few more details and I'll see if I can help.
