Ok I really need this place...I recently had a baby and topped out at 285 pounds...I have been working with a personal trainer and am not at 255! YAY!! My husband is currently in Iraq I would love to make my goal of 160 buy August 2010 when he returns! I am excited to have some support here and am hoping to meet people in the same situation as me!!!
What a great goal for you and your husband! Welcome to 3FC!! Come by and join us over at the 100lb Club - it's very active with lots of helpful and supportive people. Glad you found us!
Hi want2bdgl!
Congrats on your success so far - you're really off to a great start - what a great surprise for your husband's homecoming to see the new you! The support you need is here - you can do this and 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, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right one for you and 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!
I am new!
