36 Yr old Has given self a 6 month weight loss challenge.

  • I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Jennifer. I am 36 years old. I am a cancer survivor. I know that I use food as an emotional tool. I also know I am slowly killing myself. I want so much to change. I am hoping with support from friends on here and determination I can change my life for ever.
  • Hello Jennifer and welcome to 3fc's! Congratulations on being a survivor; it's a very wonderful thing.

    I don't know how much weight you're looking to lose; but please be patient with yourself. Whatever you lose will be to your benefit and you don't want to get discouraged if you don't reach your goal in six months.
  • Thanks
    Thanks so much for your response. You are an inspiration. I have 112lbs to lose. Seems like that reality is a far one away. Still I am sick of my currently reality. Thanks again for your words of encouragement:-)
  • You can do it! Just take it a day at a time. I started on Jan 1st and plan to lose 75 pounds by 8-15-09 (my birthday) Do you have a certain plan you are following? Welcome to 3FCs.

  • You CAN do this! Come here for support and encouragement! We have many cancer survivors here who have walked in your shoes.

    I can't wait to get to know you better

    You can do this!
