Introducing myself and committing once again! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello everyone! 😃

I have been lurking around on 3fc for quite some time and finally decided to join in on the fun to have a place to receive as well as offer support as I go through this journey once again! I won't bore you with my life story, but like a lot of you, I have struggled with my weight most of my life. Five years ago I had lost well over 100lbs and reached my goal weight, only to gain it all back and then some! 😭 Earlier this year I reached my all time high of 303 lbs. I was mortified when I saw that number on the scale. I decided enough was enough and decided to recommit once again (for the 100th time!) and in the past few months have managed to lose 35 lbs. I lost the weight by counting calories but haven't incorporated much exercise yet. I plan to join the gym on Wednesday. I am currently 268 lbs and have a long way to go, but I am positive that with hard work and motivation I will once again lose this weight and hopefully keep it off permanently this time!

I am so excited to join you ladies and would love to hear all of your stories, advice, tips, etc! 😃

Hi Bella,

I started my weight loss journey for a 2nd time on Jan. 16th 2014. I got down to 279 but now I'm almost back at my starting weight of 302, I'm not gonna give up. I'm just gonna keep moving forward.

My Story:

I didnt have a weight problem growing up. Actually my mom and grandma always thought my brothers and I were too skinny. I didnt start gaining weight until after high school in 03. Physical Education kept me at 120 all through high school and I didnt grow up playing sports so I didnt have that to fall back on after high school so I started gaining and I got up to 302 but I'm gonna get to my goal weight of 150 no matter how long it takes me.

Good Luck on your journey and Congrats on losing 35 pounds already.
