    Hello all....brand new here as of today. Already well into my weight loss.....needing 13 more pounds to complete to my goal and then of course, set a new one.

    I hate veggies and struggle with only eating one or two types. My system is pretty simple and so far it's worked - I'm a results kind of girl I live and die by the scale I weigh in whenever I walk by it. I plug all of my info into my iPhone and pretty much do whatever it says in terms of calories and exercise.

    I am looking for people like myself who really understand what it is to finally have successful weight loss = because frankly I think everyone else in my life is SICK OF HEARING IT!! Give me a shout if you would like to share stories, tactics, rules, recipes for anything without veggies lol

    and oh yeah.. I like this guy

    You have found a wonderful resource in 3FC. I know exactly what you are talking about. My DH was sick of hearing all the details of my plan every day! Thankfully, I found 3FC. The folk here are MUCH more willing to listen and understand!

    Congrats on your loss so far! Sounds like you have a plan that is working.

    I don't talk to my family or friends because they can empathize but can't understand because they haven't been there. I post here daily and really feel a bond with others who are "in the same boat".

    Best wishes on reaching your goal.

    I just had to say hello. Your thread name caught my eye. It reminded me of Winnie the Pooh... I think it was Tigger who said it like that.

    Anyway, hello and welcome. I know what it is like to not have the support of people in your life. But I am sure you will love it here, and find support!

    Hello curves....thank you for saying hi - you seem to be along the same starting point and general weight loss as me...when did you start and what are you doing, how are you doing it? Your goal is 140 mine is 165 but I am taking a break after 165 for a cruise! After that resetting my goal for 140 as well.

    Hi again.

    To be honest it has been on ongoing process. I went from 218 to about 175 quite a few years back, mainly through diet, exercise, and finally finding out I had a thyroid problem. I was happily maintaing that, until this past year. I've been through some personal things, and as a result my weight had crept back up to 189.

    I decided it was time to get rid of what I had regained, and the rest of it as well. June 23rd I stared the Alli program. Watching and tracking what I eat, and sticking to the plan. Since then I have lost 9 pounds. This week I also started getting back on track with my exercise program. I love to alternate between Jillan Michaels's 30 Day Shred, and Richard's Simmons Dance Your Pants Off.

    Hope things are going well with you.
