Default A big hello to everyone!!

So I recently joined 3fc and dabbled in a few forums. Then I came across this group! I was a little nosey and started reading some threads, and you ladies are such an inspiration!! When I first started this journey I wanted to lose exactly 100lbs and found even making that statement to be overwhelming! Its very encouraging to see how all of you are having such great progress!!

My starting weight was 242, and I'm a 232 right now I started the South Beach diet about a week ago and already dropped 8lbs. I'm very excited to start my weight loss journey and make some great friends. I recently got word my dear boyfriend was ring shopping, and boy did that get my butt in gear!! I refuse to look at my wedding photos and think "god was I big!" I want to be the most beautiful bride I can be.

Again, a big THANK YOU to everyone for sharing their stories.

Hi Qtest....and WELCOME! I am relatively new here too just joining last month. I have enjoyed reading and posting, and love reading the inspirational stories when I am having an "off" period (most of this week) and also knowing that I am not alone and that we are all in this journey together and going through the same struggles (and triumphs)

Welcome to the group! I m also a newbie, and I am trying to do all of my research before I begin. Although I am in the process of changing my diet, and have done pretty good so far... I am also reviewing both sb and ww diets to see which will work best and how I will be able to stick with them.

I know I will see you around a lot, and I know you can keep up the great work. Congrats on the 8lbs!! You go!!

You will love it here. It's great that you are doing something about the weight problem at your age. I thought it was a lost cause for years, I so wish I could have gotten it in control when I was young like you. You are such a beautiful girl and you will make a gorgeous bride. I wish you much success in your weight loss journey and the marriage too!
