Thank you Judi/Doreen for the info.
I do need to lose weight and more importantly need the motivation and structure to do so.
So all things considered I would like to join the group and see what can be done to lose some weight.
Just for Frankie's peace of mind I would like to emphasis that I have not knowingly had a brazilian (still dont know what it is) so hopefully there are no impediments to me joining.
I think I must have been brought up in a different branch of the Catholic Church to Raymondo and Doreen. They seem to know a lot more wordly practices than I do
