Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm here because I have a lot of weight to lose. I need to lose around 240lbs. I've lost and gained weight before, but I'm doing things differently this time because this time is about maintenance. I hope to be around for a long time because I need support and I'd like to be a support for others, too.

Hi CountingDownPounds (Whew, that's a long one!)
Welcome to 3FC!
Sounds like your ready to do this and do it right. Look forward to seeing more post by you.
When you get a chance check out the POSITIVE UPLIFTING thread here in the 300+ section. We're all about positivity in our lives, weather it be a few pounds lost or just an overall great day. We like to hear about it.

Have a great day!

Thank you for responding, learningtoliveagain. I'm trying to take things one day at at time...and I"m Counting Down the Pounds (and Days) until I'm at a healthy weight. I'll visit the positivity thread.

Welcome!!! Getting (and giving!) support is definitely one of the keys for me as well.
