Hiya,

I saw a link to this site on another site I peruse and decided you guys look like a lot of fun and I can use all the support I can get.

I have dieted my whole life and over the past 2 years have decided to make a lifestyle change since diets just don't work. I have lost 23 pounds so far but would like to lose another 60 or so. I am currently at 229 pounds and a heck of a lot healthier than I have been in decades.

Thanks to the admin and moderators this site looks like it will be very helpful in my journey.

GREETINGS FROM NEW MEXICO! Welcome and we're so happy you joined us... I'm a newbie too, 10lbs down and workin' on it....so far this website has been awesome!

A great big for all three of you . . . so glad you've found us. And so glad to hear that you realize this is a 'forever' thing . . . there is no overnight cure available.

Welcome to 3FC! You are doing fantastic with your weight loss so far. You are completely right that this can't be a "diet", it has to be a way of life. Good luck and I hope to see you posting more.

A friend pointed out to me one day that I didn't gain all the weight in a day (week, month) I am not going to lose it all that quickly. Since then I just keep getting back up on the horse.

Thank you for the welcome.

Oh and I am from Seattle, WA.
