Hello hello

  • Well hello there. I am new around here, finally getting up the will to register and become accountable. My weight is something I have always struggled with, but even at 250 lbs as a 20 year old, I was healthy. Now, at 24, I feel like somewhere along the way I gave up. I am now coming in at just over 300 and trying to work out I am finding out how horribly unhealthy I've become in the past 2 years. Before this time of giving up I would literally argue with doctors about how I was eating well and exercising and there would be no difference, they would just say I needed to stop lying and do what I was claiming to be doing. This made me feel very defeated, but the doctor I am seeing now has discovered that I suffer from PCOS which has a lot to do with the weight issue. I am not at all using this as an excuse, I'm done with excuses. Now I know what is going on with my body so I can make a better plan of attack so to speak.

    Friends and family just don't seem to be the support I need, so I am hoping to make some new friends here! Thanks for reading and I hope to get to know some of you.


  • It goes without saying 3FC is a great place and I'm sure you will find all the support you need right here. I lurked for several months before joining. Everyone is super supportive, but can be tough on accountability too which is a good thing, trust me!

    You sound ready for a big change and I wish you the best in your efforts!
  • Hi Gekster, welcome! there is a sub-forum here for people with PCOS, so rest assured you will get support here from people who understand what you are going through. Glad to have you! Good luck!
  • Thanks, I really appreciate it! I think the accountability is one of the main reasons I decided to join up. I love my boyfriend, but he isn't the type to mind if I skip a day of exercise or cheat with food. Seeing your starting weight and current weight really shows me if I am determined then it doesn't matter where I am now, I can get where I want to be.
