I figured I should tell u all a little about myself. I am Alana Jo, 26. I am happily married to Michael, 30. We have 2 boys 5 and 2. Im from Eastern Ky and I am an emotional eater. I have around 100 lbs to loose, maybe more. Im just gonna try to eat healthy and exercise. Plans dont seem to work for me.

Welcome, Alana.

I'm new, too! And I think eating sensibly is more effective in the long run than "dieting" with plans. Have you ever tried just counting calories? It keeps you honest, at least. Well, it does for me.

What I am loving about this forum is how supportive everyone is, even on the little stuff. Sometimes, it's the little things that get you through the day.

Hi and welcome to 3fc!!!

Welcome! Glad you're here!

Sounds like you've come to the right place. 3FC is a great place for giving and getting support. Post Often!

Glad you are here!

Hi and welcome. I'm so glad you've joined us. I think you're gonna LOVE it here. Good luck to you.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I really appreciate it. I cant wait to know each of u.

Hi, I'm a newbie too! Welcome.

Welcome!

Welcome Alana

Plans don't work for me either. Plus, like I learned recently this is a lifestyle, not a diet. I agree that counting calories while eating as healthy as possible is the wisest. Toss in some exercise and progress will be made.

Hey, that sounds like a GREAT plan to me! In fact, it's my plan!

Welcome to the forum!!

Thanks all! Im doing pretty good so far. Im pretty proud of myself. Im not gonna give in this time.

HI WElcome. Im new too. Im doing Weight Watchers but I think that I am going to try calorie counting. Im hoping that will be easier than trying to keep track of points.
