Will you post your story? I personally cant wait to post my story when I make goal. I also know that others opt to take a different route. How do you feel about posting your goal story? Will you or wont you?
I plan to post my story, I think it's rather ho-hum... but I have identified with small parts of some success stories and I figure maybe I'll help one person, that'd be ok with me. I know I like to see the before/after photos... but I don't know if I will be able to put myself out there. As it is, I don't have any photos of myself on this site (or anywhere else really, for that matter). We'll see.
I found 3FC after I hit my goal weight because I had so many emotions and no one to relate to. 3FC has been a part of my journey during maintenance and I took some time to sort my head out before I wrote it all out (which was very theraputic!)
Meh. Probably not. It's not particularly useful. I mean, other ladies would post stories about awesome willpower and amazing physical feats, whereas I would have to honestly say, "I had stomach issues that made me think I was hungry when I was really just sick. As soon as I was prescribed the right meds I didn't need to eat as much anymore." That would probably annoy people.
I'll do a short summary and before/after pictures probably. Honestly, I don't have a TON of weight to lose and it's going to take me like 5 months, not over a year. Plus, my story just isn't that interesting haha
Oh definitely! Who wouldn't be proud of what they're doing and did?! It is also inspiring to hear about other people's stories. The ones that relate to you, obviously.
I will, just because I know that reading goal stories has been truely inspirational and reassuring for me. When I meet my goal, I will have lost 101 lbs, and if I think there's a possibility that one person out there might be uplifted by my journey like I was by others'...well that's enough to make me want to tell it.
Yes I plan to post my story when I reach goal. The first thing I did when I joined this board was look at the goal stories, they are inspirational and it's nice to have an idea of what worked for other. Plus I love talking about myself!
absolutely I think we all have our own stories and boring or not they are all noteworthy and i personally think any any information we can share with others on our journey, big or small, might change someone else so its worth it.
Probably not. I've been up and down in weight so many times, and all of them are really boring stories. Maybe if something exciting happens by the time I get to goal I'll change my mind.
But I'll definitely post pictures! I love seeing the pictures that people post.

I see what you mean but I, personally, would be very interested in hearing your story because I would be able to relate more to you with regards to your starting weight. Hearing all the stories from people who have lost a hundred pounds and more are great and very inspiring but I do actually prefer to read from people who were at the same weight I am. I can just relate to it more.
Just because one person doesn't have a hundred pounds to lose doesn't mean they don't find it hard. No matter what weight we are we all struggle to find ourselves and feel comfortable in our own skin.
