Default My First Post

hello! i read about this website in oprah's magazine - and since i've been on weight-watchers a few weeks now i thought it would be helpful to meet other people and read/learn/live through this with all of you -

i'm just now starting to figure out the website and how it all works - it's a little overwhelming - all the options and that - but - sooner or later i'll get the hang of it..

right now i'm about 260+ pounds or so - i've had some illness so i didn't go to last friday's meeting - and i don't weigh in-between - my high weight this time (!) was 277-1/2 - and i'm working on getting to somewhere under 200 - i have no particular goal weight in mind - i'll know when i feel good and that will be that ..

my focus has been on eating "good quality" foods - and not so much on eating "points" - and so far so good -

i'm looking forward to talking with you all - deb

Hi Deb, and welcome! 3FC is a great place to find all kinds of information, support, ideas, recipes, laughter ... there's certainly something for everyone here.

I like your comment about focusing on eating real foods instead of just "points".

You've definitely come to the right place to get tons of support and information. Congratulations on your weight loss thus far.
There's a sticky up at the top that can help you to navigate through the boards.

Hi Deb,
Welcome to the site, I didn't know this site was in Oprah. I am slowly reading past posts to learn more and get more ideas. This is a great place!!

Welcome to the group!

Congratulations on finding this place and stepping in the right direction to meet your goals.

This is a great place. A real friendly bunch with a ton of knowledge to help you along your way.

I don't know what I would do without these girls. I don't always post. But I am on here everyday, sometimes several times a day reading and learning and gathering motivation.

I look forward to getting to know you around the boards.

Cheers,
Lisa
