Default Hi!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone. My name is Vanessa. I am overweight and need to lose at least 61 pounds. I have failed in the past and I am sure most can relate. Things are different this time, though, because I have an extra motivation this time-my almost two year old daughter. I don't want her to pick up my bad habits so I am trying to eat better and exercise more for both of us.........and for the hubby too. He is trying to get healthy too. I don't go online too often but when I do I will be sure to check up on here.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Vanessaaaaaaaaaa! LOL! So thrilled to have you here! I see you have a ticker too, you are really on top of things!!! I look forward to each notch I can bring it down hahaha, it's my own little inspiration.

Studies have shown that having a support system can make or break your chances of succeeding. It is so wonderful that your family is doing this with you, and you will also find this site to be so invaluable to everything from questions, to venting, to cheering you on, and making friends

What plan are you doing to lose weight - do you have anything right now? We have tons of wonderful forums on 3FC that many are specific to a given plan. You might want to think about popping in the one that suits you and saying hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii there too Or if you would like a link, just tell me what plan you're doing and I'll be happy to provide it for ya.

I know with little ones it really is hard to find some "me" time but I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope you find "me" time here so we can all get to know ya and cheer you on! Again, welcome to 3FC!!!!

Thanks everyone. I was on the SBD a while back and did lose weight but I find it too restrictive on foods that I like plus I am not much of a meat eater which the plan required. This time I am just calorie counting and exercising. I like it because I can eat most foods I like except in smaller more controlled portions.

Hey Vanessa! Well that is wonderful, nothing wrong with that That's what I'm doing. Well in that case you can go on the weight loss support board here http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13 or maybe the no specific plan board here http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10 or you can also go to your age specific board, depending on how old ya are: I'm in 30 somethings here: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=57
