Default New here!

Hi everyone!

I posted an into on the introductions forum, but I wanted to peep in here and say hi!

I'm Katie. I'm 21 yes old and live in California. I'm so glad I found this place. Everyone here seems wonderful! Full of tons of friendship, support, and advice. I started my weight loss as of Tuesday this week.

My main motivation right now is that my boyfriend who is in the Marines is coming home to visit in December (the middle or the end, we are unsure yet). And I want to lose AT LEAST 10 pounds by then. So that's my short term goal for now.

Can't wait to get to know everyone!

Welcome here Katie!

Your goal is definitely doable by December, and who knows, perhaps you'll have it done long ago before your boyfriend comes back.

OMG NO WAY!!! That's like WHOA super conincidence!!! Ok girl, you and me, 10 pounds before Christmas!! We can do this!! Gotta impress our military boys You should PM me and tell me what area in Sac you lived in! That's crazy.

I'm not following any specific diet right now, just exercising at least 5 times a week and eating healthy. I was semi-successful before, but I really think that by being on this board I will have the motivation and support I am seeking. What about you?

No specific diet here either, I'm just concentrating on eating healthy, whole grains and veggies for carbs, no red meat and occasional sugar.

Yeah we've totally gotta stick together - my main struggle is with exercise, I got pregnant had my baby and got all... sedentary!

Everyone here seems so nice! So I'm really excited about finding the board too!

I'm sending you a PM right now

Wanted to say welcome and good luck! I know how much of motivation it can be to lose weight before the guys come home or to visit. My husbands in the Marines too, and when he got back from iraq i had dropped a bunch of weight (most of wich i gained back lol).

Hi Katy!

Welcome to 20-somethings and 3FC.

I'm also between 5'6" and 5'7" and have similar weight loss goals.

Hey Katie, nice to meet you, glad you decided to embark on a weight loss journey. I think you will love it here, these girls are sharp and fun and not afriad to be honest with you when you need it. There are quite a few women on here that have military husbands so you should have a great support group in that aspect to. Welcome aboard!
