WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS:
my slow metabolism and not enough exercise
(because I sit at a desk and computer all day)

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL:

I am a Christian, Jesus is Lord of my life!
My walk with Jesus is the most important walking I do!

Hi Deb and everyone else. I recently joined 3FC and have been reading a lot of message boards, threads. While I love them all, this is the one to which I always check first. It is so, so nice to be new to a site and to read (in the most recent message by Deb) that you welcome newcomers. This is kindness at its finest hour. You have no idea how much it means to this "newbie" to see that. I do love to read and write, but am a little shy about the bio. stuff. I'm going to be bold and brave and go for it! I am learning to take risks in my life and here goes-

I eat too much. I love healthy food and really don't eat junk, but I have no concept of portion control. I guess I have very healthy fat, L0L, right??

I think about what I'm going to eat from the time I wake up to when I go to bed. When I go to a store or even get gas I have to get a candy bar. I need help I don't know what to do. I look at myself and think that I'm so ugly what happened? I look at the girls that come into my job and think I wish I could look like that. I've tried to do the weight watchers thing but I didn't like to count me points. The doc. said to do the sugar buster diet but I don't know how to get started. I don't have time to read any books I work 2 full time jobs and one part time. I get on the computer for an hour a day take a bath and go to bed. If someone could please help me I need it.

Hi Everybody,

I'm new here but sure am happy to have found this place.

Long story short:
6 years ago I was working humanitarian aid in the Third World, in shape, strong, feeling great.
Met the man of my dreams/got married.
Came back to the states and gained a little weight but not much.
2 Yrs ago, man of my dreams cheated on me with best friend.
I crashed.
Have gained weight steadily and rapidly since and am now at 260, heart problems, high blood pressure and clinical depression.

Went to doc last month and got started on antidepressants, bp meds and now have started dieting and taking xenical.

I have a feeling I might become a fixture around here becuase I sure NEED y'all.

Okay, bio.

It will follow my hairline and be covered unless I pull my hair up in a braid or pony-tail, which I only do when I am thinner because right now my face it toooooo fat!

Hi all.
