Checking in from FL Panhandle - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Been lurking for over a month and decided to go ahead and join. I started MRC 11/01 and have lost 23 pounds since then - including what I had to re-lose after Christmas. Reading the posts about getting OP over the holidays really prompted me to join - glad to know that I wasn't the only one that lost there way and added 4.5 pounds over the short holidays - but boy that Sushi, chocolate, cheeseburger and red wine sure was good........

I'm looking forward to reaching my goal of 175 by May!

Hi GettingSkinnyWithIt!
No, you're certainly not the Lone Ranger on that ( there's a lot of room on the wagon because so many fell off!) - but we're here now and back on track - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the MRC forum and the weight loss support froum, they're active and very helpful - also the Success Stories are a definite must for motivation!

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
