Hi Everybody
 

Wonder why my profile pic isn't showing up :?:

Hi Donna, and welcome to 3FC. You've come to the right place for encouragement, and I must say that looking at your stats has given me a tremendous boost. I started out at about the same weight as you, and our goals are compatible, and you're almost there! :cheer:

Are you exercising? Maybe you need to step it up. Also, it might help if you try a different type of diet for a while. For instance, if you were calorie counting, maybe you should switch to an Atkins style diet, or vice versa. Perhaps you've been denying yourself too much. Sometimes I find that allowing myself to have some "forbidden" treat will actually help boost my weight loss in the following week.

Congratulations, you've done such a tremendous job!

How kind you both are thank you so much! :hug:

I think what might of held me back from reaching my goal weight is since 2006 I've had 5 surgeries and one of those had to be repeated because the first one failed, because of those events I slowed down in my exercising, so MonteCristo I think your right on the money there. I guess I should step it up a bit. ;)

I started out on Jenny Craig and after 3 mths of being on that we decided to take what we learned from it and do it on our own, and it's worked, but maybe I should do something different. You gave me something to think about, thank you. :)

Hi Donna! Congrats on your success! :wel3fc:

Just joined the forum....I am having a little difficulty figuring out how to move around and reply properly...sorry, I don't this kind of thing often...I am working on losing 60 pounds...been pretty thin most of my life and then I hit 40!!! My husband and I have known each other for 8 years and have been married 6...he has only seen me thin in pictures. I desperately want to lose weight. I am starting to look like my mother (I am built like her but have always been a thinner version), I love my mother and she has always warned us to keep the weight off...which I did most of my life...she was certainly right about one thing, it gets harder and harder with every year of your life. I used to be able to drop 5 pounds in a week .... now if I lost 5 pounds in a month I would be ecstatic!

Hope I have posted this properly, if not someone tell me what I did wrong!!! :o
