Hi everyone!

I'm new to this site and I think it is great, the posts are very motivating.
I’m Ruby.
I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 1970, was born in Ca. I’m 42; currently weigh 213lbs @ 5’2”. I need to lose 100 lbs. But would be happy with losing 20lbs to start.
I have quit the Pepsi habit, and now working to quit smoking. Hope to get to know all of you.

Welcome, Ruby.

Well done on the 7 pound you've dropped. You're off to a great start!

Thanks for the welcome TooFatFish,

It was nice to see those 7 lbs gone.

Welcome!

I, too, had a pepsi habit - I've cut back to just one or two a week and it's made a big difference.

Glad you found us!

Hi, Ruby - Welcome to 3FC! This is the best group of folks. Howie and I are indebted to them for their support as we've battled the pounds. They'll be great for you, too. Glad to see you post!

Hi Ruby, I'm pretty new here as well and it definately is a wonderful place for support and motivation. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Congrats on the loss so far.

Hello to a fellow "Okie" Great job on the pepsi and 7lb. loss. Good luck with the quitting smoking.

Hi Ruby, and welcome! Great news about the plan to quit smoking (if you ever feel frustrated, desperate and on the verge of knawing off your arm, send me a PM for some heavy-duty support. I managed to quit after 30 years of puffing and totally understand the challenge!) Oh yeah, feel free to talk about losing weight, too!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Laura,

Drinking Pepsi is a hard habit to break. I can also tell a big difference.
Trying to drinks lots of spring water now, I never liked tap water.
I believe quitting Pepsi and starting to exercise helped with the 7 lb loss.

Thanks, Glad to be here. I need all the support I can get.


Dawnyal,

Hi, good to hear from a fellow Okie! Thanks for the support!


Hi Jillegal,

I was almost to the point of knawing the arm off today.
My nephew gave me a straw, told me chew on that instead.
I’ve been smoking for 27 years. Thanks for the support.

Welcome Ruby!
