Turning 22 and Ready to Lose
 

Hey folks! Making my first post here, as I'm a little overwhelmed by all the boards! I think I'll just focus on a couple of them.

My b-day's around the bend (the 27th) and I'll be 22. Birthdays always prompt me to think about where I want to be in the coming year. I have no idea what to do in life, but I know that whatever I'm doing, I want to be healthier. So I'ma focus on that!

I have always been overweight, and have been on many, many diets. I've never lost much weight, and over the years have steadily gained. Now, at 225 pounds (did I just type that!?) I feel ready to make the change.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day, and I look forward to getting to know ya!

Welcome to 3FC!!! There is a lot of info for you to go through and pick up useful ideas to get you to goal. As for where to start, we're happy to see you here of course :) And you can also try an area that's more specific to the type of lifestyle you would like to act on to get to goal (like Calorie Counting, etc).

You can do it!

Welcome! The support ad information here is fantastic. It's a great resource and so good to know you are not alone.

Welcome :) I hope over time you become less overwhelmed by all of the boards. I like to check out the goal and mini goal pages when Im feeling a bit down on myself, helps me keep my focus!

Welcome fruition! 20-somethings board is a great place to start. Everyone here is very supportive and great for keeping each other accountable. Congratulations on your weight loss journey and I wish you the best of success :)

Thanks for the supportive posts! I am pretty terrible at keeping up with forums, but I'm going to try try try! This seems like a great place! :)

Welcome! I am glad you are here. The people in these forums are great. :-)

We are somewhat in the same boat. You are an inch taller and when I started two months ago I was the same as your starting weight! And I will be 22 in 3 months! If you ever need motivation, I am here!

Aww, we sound just alike! I just turned 22 on thursday (Feb 24th) and right now im weighing in at 226 lbs. & i also just registered.
