Hey there Michelle! I'm in Monroe, NC. Where are you at? You have come to the best place for support, inspiration, and encouragement. I have been reading these forums like crazy since I found this site last week and still have not read everything. Good luck to you and keep in touch!

Welcome! Surf around and settle in! We have lots of subforums based on age, eating plan, and more. Check out the 100 lb Club for other folks looking to lose about 100 lbs. Good luck!

Greetings from Concord, NC. New to 3FC as well, and happy to have "stumbled" upon the site.

Still trying to get into the groove for 2009 and settle into a program. Currently reducing portion sizes and making better food choices. Slow progress, but in the "learning" stages on what program to actually go with. Have done WW and Somersize. Both had great results, in the past, but BIG expense. What's working for you girls?

I have been doing WW online for almost 2 weeks. Down 5 lbs the first week! I have had no problems staying within my points at all. Slowly getting exercise in daily and hoping it will work. I think I am also going to star writing down calories as well, just to see how it conincides with my points....
