Okay, so I've just found this website and I think this is just what I've been searching for. I'm 40, fat and fed up with dieting!!

I've decided that I'm going to try to live a healthier lifestyle and I have all of the "knowledge" but have never been able to accomplish my weight loss goals. I really want to be a good example for my children, but I have failed so many times, it gets discouraging. I am going to look around the site and try to find a group that fits me.

Thanks so much for having this resource!!

P.S. - can someone tell me how to get the "diet ticker" to show up on a post. I signed up for one, but don't know how to transfer it to the posting.

Well, you sound just like me!!! I just turned 34 yesterday and I too am in your shoes. I need a support group desperately. All the women I know talk like they are ready but have no motivation to take action so I find myself alone in this situation. I just signed up for this site today and haven't got a chance to look around so I am planning to do that now. I hope we can continue to get to know each other and encourage and support each other also. I am here for you girl! Best wishes, Jenn.

Wow, looking at our numbers we are really in the same boat...except you're a young little chickie!!

Thanks for the support and let me know if you find something that works for you and I'll do the same. I think just having someone to vent and talk to will help!!

Take care, chrissy

Welcome to 3FC! Please jump in anywhere you like. Your ticker/signature won't show up until you've been here 20 days and have 20 posts. We have to delay it because of spammers. I bet by the time your ticker comes, you'll have a nice number to report.

Hi there! I am in a similar situation to both of you so maybe I can join the two of you if that's all right. I'm going to be 34 in about 6 weeks, too! I need to get this done once and for all!

Thanks Jennifer for the info...and the encouragement!!! You're right...I WILL have a better number by the time my 20 postings roll around!!!

Sure Sunrose...we're all in this together...Oh no....now I'm quoting disney songs!!!! LOL

Looks like you're doing pretty good so far. Let us know what you've been doing and I'll keep you up to date with my new journey.

welcome to the site!!

Hi, I think I have found a home as well. I am really excited to have found this sight last night and have enjoyed reading about everyones successes. Looking forward to a successful 2009 and a diet that works.
