New to 3FC from Chicago
 
Hello All,

Today I made the decision to stop whining about my weight, and start doing something about it! Who knows why I took so long to come to the realization that I am the only one who can change my situation. Anyway, I am really hoping that by joining this community, I will gain some tools while losing some pounds! I am new to Chicago, so I don't have much support in the area. I hope to get some inspiration from others, and eventually be inspiring, as well.

I can do this! We can do this! -Jen

You are the only one who can change you -however- it's easier with help and support.

Welcome to 3FC. We're here for you!

Hey Jen!

I am new here too and you and I have the same goal weight! I know some people in Chicago. They have a great music scene there from what I've heard if you're into that.

Hey, I'm new here too. I wish you all the best in your journey and hope we can support each other through and through!

:yes: You nailed it. Many of us are unconsciously blaming or wanting others to do the work for us. It is work, and we're the only ones who can do it.
Acknowledging that is huge... I know you're going to do well. :hug:

Hello and thanks!
 
Thanks for the posts! I am so excited to get back to looking and feeling like myself again! mypunkrockromance, I love music, but haven't gotten out to the Chicago scene yet. This excess weight has made me a bit of a homebody. :(
Good luck to you! We CAN do this. I'm off to the gym....
