Extended computer use has been linked to obesity, but a Michigan woman says her online activities helped her to shed 530 pounds.

Nancy Makin, 51, is scheduled to appear Wednesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to talk about how she lost the weight in less than three years using an "Internet diet."

Makin, who weighed as much as 703 pounds, spent many years living reclusively in her one-bedroom Grand Rapids apartment. At one point, she had not been outside in more than three years.
