Hello all!
Can I just say how excited I am to find this community?? I think this could really be my push to get into shape. I finally hit my breaking point yesterday when I stood on the scale and almost cried. This isn't the most I have weighed, but it's certainly not where I want to be.

Yesterday I decided to go back on weight watchers - although I am not going to meetings or paying for it. I've been on the program before and know how it all works. Since we are a community and I am counting on you all to keep me in check, my stats: height: 5'8, starting weight: 150.8, current (as of this morning): 148.8, goal weight: 135

If anyone has any advice on how to stay motivated, I would really appreciate it. My issue is that I am unemployed and have become so lethargic sitting around looking for jobs and watching re-runs! All of my friends and family live at least 1/2 hour away so it's not easy to get together and work out.

Welcome! You're In The Right Place.

Welcome to 3FC and good luck! You can do it and this site is a great help.

Welcome!

What keeps me motivated is daily or weekly accountablity with some of the threads- I post in the exercise thread on this forum, and I occassionally post on the binge-free challenge thread in the "Chicks in control" forum. It's a big motivator for me to not want to have to start my no-binge count over again, or to post that I didn't get all of my exercise in.

Glad your here!! I just jumped on the band wagon again on WW also I'm not going to meetings this time either, I'm just doing it at home. I hope to make it back to meetings again one day but I'm just so busy and the meetings I loved going to are 30 min. away lol so the timing just isn't right. The last time I did WW I lost 60 lbs (back in 2007) and I was a faithful 3FC threader. I love this site because it is such a motivational and supportive place. I always recommend it to everyone if I know they are trying to lose weight. This is my first week back and I've been doing pretty good and when I weighed myself to get my starting weight I realized I had lost 20 lb's since the last time I weighed lol. I was pretty stoked! Good Luck!
