Hi everybody
 

Hi, Everyone,

I am new to the site, and grateful to have found it. It's so great to read what works and what the pitfalls are. I filled out one of these for the 100+ board, so to get to know me:

First name: Carolyn

Geographical location: California

Age: 51

Marital Status: Divorced

Children/Ages: Son, 19, Son, 17, Daugter, 13

Occupation: Landscape Architect, self-employed

Pets: 119 lb. dog, "Scamper"

Hobbies/Interests: architecture, history, reading, traveling, design

Height: 5' 8"

Eye/Hair Color: Hazel/Lt. Brown

Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: July 13, 2008

Starting Weight: 286

Present Weight: 282

Goal Weight: 150

Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Too lazy to EXERCISE!

Following any specific plan: Keeping track of all that goes in, 30 mins. of exercise per day, 1700-2000 max. per day to start.

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Support of this group, abject fear of reaching 300 lbs., being so tired of feeling bad, not being as active with my kids as I want to be.

Anything else you would like to share with us: If I can just remember that all I need to do is 30 mins. each day and get it over with, I'll be able to feel happy all day that I did it!

(I'm happy to say that I did my 30 minutes today!)

Hi there . . . and :wel3fc: . . . glad you found us, Chickie. :hug:

You had sort of buried your intro in somebody else's thread so I took the liberty of moving it to a spot of its own so more of our friendly and supportive members could find you to say HELLO.

Sounds like you are off to a good start. :high: Obviously you've found the 100 plus group and hope you will also be visiting out Age 50+ Forum that's in the same general area . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=217

:welcome: to 3FC's

:welcome2: from another newbie...and also a member of the over 50 crowd!

You can be proud of that 30 minutes...one day at a time and they all add up!
