Congrats on the weight loss thus far! And stay away from the candy... LOL. Happy new year to you, Kathy

Hello Maria - Awesome first check up and wow moment, with many more coming your way! As far as your profile goes, I'm clueless to the new set up. I wasnt even going to bother switching mine over - don't like the "romper room mentality" of having a FRIENDS list, everyone is my friend (lol, or not?) ...I don't need to see their pictures on my profile to know the difference. Anyway - Im getting side tracked, sorry hon, I do that a lot. Here is a LINK from the main board, it's supposed to be a step by step HOW TO, with the new profiles. I honestly have no clue if the directions are simplistic enough, since I never switched mine over (a very dear friend, Loris, did.... hello Loris, where the heck are you, woman?). http://obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/action,replies/board_id,4856/topic_id,3125821/cat_id,44 56/a,messageboard/ It should at least give you a grand overview of how to do it and maybe some prodding on your own will bring the pieces together. Good luck - Lei

(hijack) - Hi Lei, I laughed at your analysis of the 'friends' business. I feel the same way. In fact yesterday on the main board someone asked about it and I basically asked back, what is the purpose of the friend business? I mean I really don't know. I have them - but what does that mean. When I want to send them a message? Can't I just do that like I always did on 'contact'. I just think it is so cumbersome, this new profile. Of course having said that I am slow to change with technology. But I really don't know what I do with these friends. And the point made on the main board was how awful the person felt that no one asked her to be their friend! Ouch. Mine is even worse -- I ask people and then shine me on!!! go figure - now why wouldn't anyone want to be my friend??? Huh, what you say - because I bug the crud out of my friends for techno help!!! Have a good weekend girlfriend! love donna

Hi Maria, congratulations on the weight loss - awesome!! And don't be fooled - just because you were okay with one candy - this time - does not mean you don't dump - it is way too early to tell yet.... I had Natalie do my profile for me and I just maintain it and make small changes to it... Jackie

Repeat after me -- I WILL NOT EAT CANDY, I WILL NOT EAT CANDY!! And I agree with Jackie, just one piece doesn't mean you wont dump on more -- but don't test the waters!! You're doing great Maira!! love donna
