I am very excited to start losing weight, what I really needed was a whole bunch of support because I know i will not get alot from the people around me, unfourtently, So I hope to make some new friends and to gain and give just as must support to others! You will probably be hearing from me alot around here, talking is what I do best! :D

Welcome to 3FC! :wave:
I'm so glad you founds us! I hope you stick around, and keep posting to let us know how you're doing!

:wel3fc: JESSICA . . . from another Canadian who was originally from Toronto and from another cat lover . . . I have 5. How many do you have? That's my calico, Purrecious staring out at you from my Avatar.

Anyway you have definitely come to the right place for lots of support and encouragement on your journey to better health and fitness, Chickie and we are glad that you found us.

There is a special forum for Twenty-Somethings over in the support groups area and I hope you'll be coming to join our Crazy Canuks Cluck Club as well.

Tell us a little more about yourself and your diet and exercise plans and we can probably steer you in some more directions as well . . . :hug:

Jessica, I think you will get all the support you ever dreamed of and then some here. The people are fantastic. Good luck to you. Hope to see you posting often.

Hey guys! thanks for the welcomes!
Meowee - Yes i am a cat lover, too! I have two cats, but 5 sounds like it could be a headache?? haha

I have been off and on diets for years, never really taking the healthiest choices, from starving myself to eating nothing but freezies, but now i'm hoping just to cut portions and to excersize more :)

:welcome3:

I used to be a yo-yo dieter too, but suddenly it is as if I have finally learned from my past mistakes and the path to health and weight loss has become so much clearer and easier to navigate today than it was even a few months ago. All of the struggles I've been through with my weight were not for nothing.

There's that, and also the fact that I recently forced myself to do something about my weight once and for all so that I don't have the excuse of it to hold me back from doing what I want to do in my life any longer. There are no more excuses.

It sounds like you have a good, simple, healthy plan--cut calories by a little bit and increase exercise. That's what I've been doing and it seems to work so far!

Good luck! This site has been sooo instrumental in my success so far.

:welcome3: way to go on your decision! you will find great support here~!

Welcome! you'll soon find yourself addicted to this place- in a good way!

:wel3fc::welcome3: thanks God you find us.
