Smile So happy to find this site

Hi There,

I found this site and am thrilled. I am in my early 40's, happily married with one child. I have been riding the weight roller coaster for the past 15 yrs and I soooo want to get off this ride. I know that it can't be just a diet for me. Been there (lost 90lbs) done that (gained 100back).

It has to be about health for me - emotionally, mentally, physically ... no more short cut diets for me. For this to work, I know it means taking my life back and putting me on the proverbial list.

I'm feeling very overwhelmed and a little scared. I don't need another failure at this. So ... right now, I'm going to hang around and take it one step at a time.

Thanks for being here

I so relate. I lost 75 lbs, and gained 85 back about 12 years ago. You absolutely CAN make your experience different this time.

3FC is a GREAT resource for your journey. I never would have been able to maintain my loss this time without the maintainers here showing me the way!
