Here we go!!!
 

Hi all! I've been a lurker for a little while. Since I signed up for a gym membership today and my first personal training session is Tuesday...I figured it was time to post and say hello! I really want to be serious this time and make it happen. Rather than just think about it all the time and feel guilty that I'm not doing it.

I just turned 30, and am just over 200 lbs. I guess I'll have official stats after Tuesday night. My highest weight was 217, and was down to 190 on my own. But it's crept back up, and I don't have a handle on it myself. I don't know what my goal is right now, I know I need to get in better shape and start dropping weight. I had wanted to do this before I turned 30, but I never got serious. I've been around the same weight, give or take, for about 8 years, and I'm sick of it.

I signed up at the gym with a very good friend of mine, and we're hoping to motivate each other. I also would love some online buddies/support!

Welcome to 3FC!

Hi! Welcome to 3FC! Good luck with the trainer. I love my trainer and she has made a huge difference in how I eat, lift, and look. I found that writing down specific goals helped her come up with a plan to help me.

We have an active 30 something forum. Feel free to jump in whereever you find something interesting.

:welcome: to 3fc!!! enjoy your stay
