I lost 75 pounds using Weight Watchers and have been maintaining that loss since October 2006. I love to cook and try new recipes. I am always looking for new recipes and have been known to read cookbooks for fun. Lucky for me my family is eager to try new foods so I get to experment often. <br> <br><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <br> <br><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
