Not new to the dieting thing, but new here. I have been lurking here a few times, but tonight I decided to join up. I started my diet/exercise plan in December of 2004. By Sept of 2005 I had lost 66 pounds, and then I got pregnant. I had my baby in June of 2006. I had gained 47 pounds in my pregnancy! I resolved that by the time my baby had turned 6 months I would be back to my pre baby weight and luckily I have made that goal. Now my baby is nine months old and I'm only down an extra 5 pounds from my prebaby weight. Some of my IRL friends and I started a Fat Club, basically to support each other, share tips, work out together, ect, but it has disbanded due to lack of interest by everyone but me! Since then I have pretty much blown off the whole diet thing, I do exercise, but I've really been treating myself to eating what ever I want lately! Well, no more! I am back in action as of this moment. Looking at all of the progress some of you have made has really motivated me. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories!

to 3FC's; and congrats on your new baby!!!

Many of us were lurkers before we finally made the decision to join in; and most of us are not new to the weight battle either. This site has been here for a while and I don't think it will disappear any time soon; not with all these amazing members, and more joining each day.

It's wonderful that you decided to come here and continue on your journey towards good health; look around and enjoy yourself. You will find lots of ideas and support here. Glad you joined us ~ a fellow encourager ... Rosebud.

Welcome to 3FC! You have made great progress yourself!

I figure when you have as much weight to lose as we do, that it won't necessarily happen smoothly in one shot. It is a long road - what is important is that we get there in the end.

Hello and to 3FC!

I know how you feel with starting a little support group and having it disband. I made a little support thing with my sisters but in the end I am the only one left in it. I got depressed and felt unsupported and that's when I found 3FC. Neverending support-- day or night. The people here "get it" and understand where you are coming from.

Post often; we're here for ya!
