Height: 5'8"

Smile New to 3FC - 30yrs - looking for support & maybe a kick in the butt?

Hi! I'm 30 years old and from Canada. Weighing in at 203.0lbs as of Feb 1st. Looking to make some big changes in my life. I started with NurtiSystem on the 1st of the month - decided to give it a two month trial and see what I can make happen. It's all about portion control for me - and thats a huge problem for me. So we'll see if I can stick to it.

Looking for like minded, close weight gals to share journey with.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a support group I should join?
Looking to be accountable to someone other than myself.

Facts about me: 30 yrs, 5' 8". Married 2 years. No kids.
Shift work in health care. Sometimes tough when dieting.

Thanks all.

Smile Hi Skinny Thoughts!

I'm 38, married 12 years with two boys. 5 foot 8 and 197 lbs. I started my new life on January 8th at 206 lbs....did I mention I'm from Canada too? Looking for an accountability partner as well....maybe even a cheerleader?

I tried Nutrisystem in my 20s but they went out of business for a while so I lost my membership $s...I didn't have much success in keeping the weight off because they do the portioning for you. I found I didn't learn very much
I hope you have better success.

I understand the shifts making it tough, it is really hard having two growing boys who can eat ANYTHING and do, in my house...they eat about 4000 - 5000 calories a day

keep on thinking those slim thoughts!
