Hi there, I'm having trouble

Hi there, I'm having trouble viewing your site in the Chrome browser (the font is really small). I've tried increasing the font size from the settings but that only helped a tiny bit. Do you have any advice on what I should do? (Oh, and if it helps, I'm using Windows 7) - how to lose weight quickly
