Newbie from Florida.

Thinking about trying out MRC. I am going to need all the support I can get. I've NEVER dieted and barely breath the word exercise. I just watched the pounds pile on since early middle school with a shrug and a chocolate bar. Five years of healthier eating after high school and finally gaining enough to hit the 260 mark on a Publix scale has sent me here to save my knees since I am unable to do it by myself. Seems like exercise is unavoidable.

Please wish me luck with MRC, I'll be signing up in July after purchasing a treadmill!

Hi Zan, welcome! I think you'll like it here! I don't know about MRC, but I'm sure there are members here who do and can support you concerning it. And exercise doesn't have to be more than a brisk walk a few times each week, so it's not so terrible (and that's coming from a former exercise-hater, lol)! Good luck!!

I was on the MRC diet and the second time it didnt agree w/ me. A customer at my work signed up cause I did and she has had wonderful results!!!!! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to 3FC! Surf around and settle in! We have forums based on age, eating plan, exercise and more! I'm glad you're here!

Yeah, I've been lurking in the MRC thread for a quite a while, and it is nice to finally be out in the 'open' .

My only issue is actually getting started I happily walk/kayak when in the middle of it, but getting my friends and myself off our butts to start with is the more difficult issue. *laughs*

But once I get a treadmill set up, I'll be set to go it alone.
*This is coming from the girl who perfected read/walking walking home over various terrains from middle/high school* I figure I can do both easier when I don't have to worry about roadways, cars, snakes, and people.

And a great book will distract me at it so I'll be walking until my legs tell me to stop a while and a good distance later. Or music, I've got some very motivating music. *wicked grin*

*Is oddly excited about all this...*

Didn't agree? How so? I really like to read other people's experiences with MRC before I even start (I tend to over-research everything .)
I really hope I will get to try it out (My job is looking rather shaky at the moment, though more than the usual temp position shaky - hence the worry and caution).

Thanks!

Glad you found us! I encourage you to start now with some little steps to officially begin your journey. Walking is a great exercise - a staple in my plan

Just as soon as I get that Treadmill (just getting out and walking somewhere by myself is not quite safe in my current neighborhood).

I've been pure nervous energy ever since I moved here.
