Hello,

I have been lurking for quite a while and have decided that I need some support in loosing some weight I've picked up over the past couple of years (about 65 pounds).

When at the doctor yesterday I weighed in at 200 lbs. This is an all time high for me. I am 5'10" and 47 years old.

I will need to figure out how to use the ticker and will add an avatar pretty soon.

In the mean time I am going to start exercising with my daughter and start eating properly.

I have looked around the net and really like this site.

Thanks for reading!

Mona

Hello and Welcome Mona! Good luck with your weight loss efforts.. YOU can do it!!

hi Mona...I`m new to this site too. It looks like we have about the same amount of weight to lose although lucky you you`re a couple of inches taller then me. Where are you from? I`m in my 40s too. Don`t want to have all the health issues caused by being overweight (although I`m stupid enough to be a smoker) I am going to quit (again,sigh) on my son`s birthday.(August 13)Anyway welcome and the best of luck with everything.....Kym

Welcome Mona! Exercising and eating right is definitely the way to go. Keep up the great work and you'll see results soon!

Hi Mona ~

I'm new too at 3FC. I'm 51 and have about the same wt. to lose. I've been seriously committed to losing the extra weight for about a month now, and its actually been easier than I thought.

I can tell a difference already, which helps big time in the motivation dept.!

For a ticker, I went to www.tickerfactory.com, click on the Weight Loss option.

Looks like 3FC also offers tickers.

Hope to see you around this site! Good Luck! We can all do it!

Thank you so much for the welcome and support. I'm a smoker, too, Kym. My doctor gave me a script to help quit smoking. I'm not really ready to do that yet.

Thank you for the ticker site!

Hugs
Mona
