Hi, everyone! My name is Mary and I have finally decided to be serious about losing weight. I'm 23(almost 24) and recently got married. I tried dieting all last year so I could look great for my wedding. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay on any type of plan. I'm a teacher about to go back to school so I wanted to join this community to help me stay on track. I'm looking for any kind of support possible!

Hi Mary! Welcome to 3FC!

Thank you! I'm not really sure exactly what I should lose but I'm going to start at 10 pounds and see how that goes. I'm 195 right now and I'm 5'7. I know I have a ways to go, but if I can just lose a little, it might get easier?

im also a newbie and this site seems fantastic already....

welcome to 3fc. You will find all the help that you need here.

Welcome Mary

Hi Mary! I'm a teacher, too, and am enjoying these last few days of summer. One of the things that helps me get through the school year is having a small fridge in my room and keeping it stocked with veggies, water, and healthy snacks.

Now. If I could just get an expresso machine in there somehow. ;-)
