New to dieting and 3FC!

  • Hello everyone, my name's Lauren! I have been lurking around these forums for days now, and it has always given me the motivation to stick to my diet.
    I'm 19 years old and attend Purdue University in Indiana. My story is, basically I have tried dieting so many times I can't even count how many times I've tried. And I've always failed within days. But this time is different. I have been dieting for a week now with no failures! I'm so proud of myself. I am willing to make this a lifetime change.
    I'm looking forward to giving and receiving support from everyone here at 3FC!
  • Welcome!
    It can be tough being at school, there's so many temptations! It sounds like you're doing great so far. Keep up the good work and good luck!
  • Thanks! I agree, it is difficult at school. The dining halls have nothing but overly-processed food there.
  • WELCOME, Lauren - glad you've joined us!

    How clever of you to look after yourself while you are AT University - I piled on so much weight doing both undergraduate and graduate work without really caring in some ways: 'Well, I'm too stressed/busy with school/young (!) to worry about it'... so Good for YOU!!

    This is a great site - keep checking in, let us know how you are getting on, and good luck!!
