Hi everyone - I'm very happy to be here! I have been agonizing over my weight since age 10 when I started getting chubby. Weight has fluxuated many times since then, and I'm at my biggest ever right now: 282 lbs.

Regardless of my weight, by personal choice, I doubt I'll ever be in a relationship again, but other than those two things, I'm doing pretty well. I go to law school and I have a beautiful baby daughter who makes me laugh and smile every day.

I want to lose weight for many reasons - to set an example for my daughter, to be healthy, to be able to live comfortably longer, to fit on a roller coaster again!

I don't know about anyone else, but I always feel like my choices are limited. Maybe I'm self-imposing those limitations, but I just don't feel like I can do many of the same things that thin people can. I can't even bend over without groaning or making some weird noise lol! I want to be comfortable in my skin again. I want to drop some pounds!!

Welcome to 3FC =)

Hey a fellow New Englander

I've been rather large most of my life... like, from the age of 5, and there are plenty of other people around here that know EXACTLY what it's like. So, you aren't alone.

You can do this. One day a time. One healthy choice after another.

Do you have an idea or plan in mind?
