My 1st day- Anyone from San Diego?
Used to be near your area, but not anymore 
. Moved to Louisiana 
But you could visit this Group http://caloriecount.about.com/san-diego-surro unding-area-g80 and maybe PM some people in your general area.
If I'd ever lived anywhere else and moved to Louisiana, I'd too thmheh!
Welcome auntie2009! I love all the tools and insight offered by CC. Browse the site to learn how many calories you burn in one day, there are beginner's workout plans also, and to get an idea of what's going on, you can visit the Forums to see what other members are having issues with or are having success with.
Best of luck!
Hi Cheryl!
I'm located in San Diego! 
thmheh gave you the link to the group for people from SD...though, unfortunately, that group isn't very active. :( Feel free to chat with me or anyone on the site (the folks are pretty friendly here!)
