Introductions - Re-Introduction

Hello Everyone,

My name is Melissa, I have been fighting my weight for as long as I can remember. I am currently 38 years old with over 58 pounds to loose and I am hoping to succeed this time.

About 7 years ago, I was on a diet that was 35, 55 and 75 grams of carbs, that rotated every three weeks to encourage proper weight loss. I am also having a smaller battle trying to exercise with my left shoulder being treated for being frozen.

I am trying to get my butt in gear and start walking on the treadmill at work, but I hate to exercise. The only real exercise I ever liked was weight lifting and martial arts training, but both are on the back burner for now.

I am hoping to find some people out here that might be willing to give me some encouragement while I try to lose weight again. :frypan: Thanks for listening.

G'day Melissa.. Welcome to the 3 fat chicks on a diet forum.. Great place..and great to have you here with us.. Welcome...;)

Hello- welcome!

Did you ask for one of these? :frypan:

Hey Melissa. We are the same age! Welcome. You can do this. We are all here for your support system. What methods are you going to try?

Yup. I sure asked for the frying pan. Maybe, it will knock some sense into me to stay focused on my diet.

Welcome Melissa!!

We have a 30 something forum that is quite active.

You have a treadmill at work? I am so jealous! Do you have an iPod? Even if music won't quite do it for you, some people have downloaded books or podcasts, whatever you like. Also, we have a 1000 miles in 2009 challenge down in the exercise forum. You can set your goal for whatever you want---200 or 300 miles in the year. Lots of support and it's fun to watch the mileage rack up.
