Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say as a newbie, I find a lot of comfort in this forum. Reading others who are going through the same thing I am, and who are losing the weight, and keeping it off gives me a lot of hope. It's nice to know you have people who will be there & supportive through good and bad times.

Wish me luck,
Ameenat

Hello and Ameenat. I am glad you found us here. You are spot on about how it really helps to be amongst people who know how you feel being overweight, and who will be so supportive along the way as we battle to lose the weight we need to. I love this place and without it I know I wouldn't have done half as well as I have so far. Not that you'll need it I am sure, but definitely with your weight loss journey.

Hugs,

Ammi

Ameenat - Welcome to 3FC! It is so great to have a forum with other people who know what it is like to be over 300.

Another newbie here, loving the board also. I hope this place can become a place I call home, because I've got a long battle ahead.

Yup, me too. New, new, new. Everyone has said it, but one more time won't hurt, ya'll are incredible. I totally want to be a part of this place. I never realized how motivating support networks could be. I have already made changes in the three or four days I have been lurking around here. Thank you to you all for being here.
