Hi everyone!

Newbie here to 3FC, and just looking for some support/support buddies to begin my weight-loss journey. I've been struggling with my weight all my life, and I have finally decided to really commit to my goal. I want to feel better about myself and just get healthy. Food is my drug, yo-yo dieting is my habit, and cravings are my enemy; but I am ready.

My biggest challenge right now is getting myself to exercise, despite my huge collection of exercise videos sitting in front of my TV. I have started eating healthier, but portion control is the struggle. And I'm worried about the holidays coming up, which means food, food, and more food!

Have a great day!

. . . so glad that you found us Chickie.

Take a look at our Diet Central area -- just about every popular and healthy type eating plan is represented and you should find some good ideas to help you along.

Portion control is a problem for me too and I've found that the Principles of Volumetrics (there's a thread for it in General Diet Plans) have helped me learn how to get more of a 'food bang for my calorie buck' so to speak -- salads and lower carb vegetables are great and, at this time of year, lot's of broth based soups are terrific too.

Good Luck
