The Youtube weightloss community is very supportive and friendly. The down side is you cant filter out the nasty pervs.

I also used to be on other forums but found them boring and just dissapeared. I'm really really inlove with 3FC!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I also belong to Sparkpeople. The past month I have been using their Food Tracker. They improved it and it's alot easier than when I've tried using it in the past. I think Sparkpeople has all the 'bells & whistles" - information/recipes/articles/trackers, etc.

However, I think the support here at 3fC is much better. I think the set up is better for getting to know people. Folks here have such a kind generosity of spirit. They seem to want to help and support others with their experiences.

I also belong to the Beck Solution Forum here at 3fc.

That being said... I have popped over to Sparks forum on Low Sodium and Low Cholestrol to get ideas. Over the years... it's been very helpful.

This is really the only one I used throughout my loss and now default maintenance (it's been 1 year since I met 100 lbs lost and I seem to be stuck here). I certainly have looked at others but this has been the place for me, even if I'm not around as much as I used to be. Like Lori's comment about not boring the people IRL, I think my active participation here has saved me from being too obnoxious during the process.

I only go to this site and now only in the 100 club. I didn't care how I was talked to in another group on this site, so now I stay safely right here. I don't need any negativity or know it all's, in this group everybody has been helpful and nice at all times.

I go to sparkpeople just to track calories every now and then but have never posted on their forums. I really like it here. :D Like others have said, I really like the 100lb club, although I read the other forums too.

Oh, but I DO read blogs! Right now I'm reading up on fashion/how to take care of myself better in general. Also food blogs, but I don't really read them, i just steal the recipes. ;)

I'm addicted to another forum, but it's not for weight loss. I go to slickdeals every day. I was a lurker several years ago on this site, so when I decided to change my eating habits, I went ahead & joined. This is a very supportive group of people.

3FC is definitely my absolute fav. I occasionally peek into the about.com forums because I use them for calorie tracking. I have recently joined fitocracy.com and so far I like it, but it doesn't seem as personal as 3FC and is more about fitness and exercise and not exactly weight loss.

3fc is my favorite. I do not visit any other weight loss forums. It is interesting to see what/where other people go. You can never get enough support! :)

I tried to register on Obesity Discussion and was told that my email had been banned by the admin! I contacted them asking them what's up with that? It looks like a board similar to this one. If they ever let me on, I'll get a better idea!

I guess I can just thank my lucky stars that I stumbled in here and latched on to the 100 pound club, because it certainly is a friendly and welcoming sub-forum. I appreciate all the input. And all the encouragement along the way since I joined here in May. I know it's made an impact on my progress. Thanks to all of you for being there.

I have to agree with those of you who said coming in here saves our friends from the boring food discussions. They only want to hear so much. It's better to get opinions from like-minded people, I think. I was recently told by well meaning friends that I've lost too much weight and have to stop. That's a whole different thread - coming soon! Maybe as soon as tonight - or maybe never if I could just get over it. Ok - new thread later tonight!
