Hi

[Redlit]

I'm 19, and 5'5" (or is if 5"5'? never really sure) and 160.
I've been dieting since... Some time in middleish of August and have lost 25 lb so far. I don't know how many calories I eat in a day, but I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, and lean cuisines when I'm feeling lazy. I also hardly eat fast food anymore. I had been running at least once a week for an hour, but since my class schedule changed two weeks ago, I've had to stop. I still play an hour of DDR every day though, and do about 30 minutes of weight lifting, though.
I joined because I wanted some motivation and to help motivate others. Especially because I've had kind of a hard week this week.
So hi.

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hi redlit!
Congrats on your success so far - sounds like you're on track and off to a great start - good luck with your goals - we're all 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, inspired and entertained! You'll also find info and first hand advice on different plans to help get through the ups and downs.

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 a few months myself, 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 cheating or giving up.

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