Hi there!

I'm new to the boards, today's my first day, but I'm excited to see so many friendly faces, and some people as BIG as me!!!

I'm definitely the type to focus on hair/nails/make-up, anything to avoid the HUGE space from my chin to my shoes LOL. To be honest, I've never REALLY tried losing weight, just half-hearted attempts that i KNEW would fail.

I turned 40 this year, and I'd like to see 50. I know the only way to do that is to get this excess baggage off of me, and get my *** up off the couch once in a while

I look forward to chatting with folks, encouraging others not to beat themselves up, and yelling CHEERS! for all of your successes!

Hi Trazey!

I'm the moderator for the 300+ area here at 3 Fat Chicks and I thought I would say hi and introduce myself.

We have a whole area here at the chicks which is geared especially to us folks that are a little heavier. It's kinda nice to have other to talk to who have some of the same issues as we do, like not fitting in theatre seats, etc.

Here is a link to the area: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=124

You'll find that we have an ongoing thread for 40+ as well as the regular conversation thread going. We also have our owns photo page, recipes and a bunch of other cool stuff. I hope you'll stop by and say hi.

Welcome to 3 Fat Chicks. I'm sure you'll love it here.

BTW, I PM'd this to you before I realized that you posted a thread of your own.

Hey there fellow Ontarioian..(maybe its not spelt like that..). Anyway, welcome Tracey. I understand fully. I have been there and know what you are striving to do can be done. Its great to build up a good support system of friends and family. This site seems like a great place to do it. Kudos to you for taking the first step.
