Sometimes I think the Internet is to blame for me being fat. If there weren't all those FUN things to do online, I'd get off my butt more often and get out and exercise. There's always a dominoes tournament to play, some YouTube videos to watch or something else that was a lot more fun than sweating.

And of course I had to have my snacks, too. I tried to be good. I did! But before I knew it the bag of chips would be empty and the spoon would be in the ice cream.

Then I found Weight Watchers online. A friend got me a free trial, and I was hooked. It's a computer geek's diet heaven! With the menu builders, the chat boards and everything else, it didn't take long for me to find my motivation and get interested.

I haven't lost much weight yet, so I don't know how much of a success story this really is, but I'm for sure interested and have the motivation and tools. And it still leaves me time to play Everquest!
