Who are you Marilynn? I am 33 years old, currently living in Houston, TX. Was born and raised in Northern California. I am living here with my fiance, Michael and our cat Stubby. Stubby is a 13 year old Manx. He is very moody. As am I, but you will know that soon enough.

I need to lose a lot of weight. I started at 266 lbs in January and am currently 254. I am trying to do Atkins and am staying on the induction until I lose a bulk of my weight. I am 5'4" and have a large frame.

I have been trying to incorporate regular exercise into my day. Have been doing little things to try and get extra steps in whereever I can. I will go into more details about that at another time.

You might of guessed, I am the anti-geek. This means I have no idea what I am doing here, but I'm trying. Luckily Michael knows his stuff, I'll try to get him to help me out, but most likely I will just struggle as his "geek time" seems to be limited (much to his dismay) and when he has time on the computer he would rather be working on his things than trying to explain even the simplest thing to a dumbass (me).
