I'm Anna from Minnesota. I've been "trying" to lose weight for quite some time now. I'm 24 and I was always overweight. I had lost weight in high school then I met my boyfriend and gained 40 pounds over the last 5 years. I am in desperate need to get rid of this weight. I'm hoping encouragement is what I need to get this thing started and stay going!

Welcome

Hi Anna and welcome to 3FC!

Good luck with your goals

Hugs
Michelle

Hi Anna,

Welcome, you are in the right place to help you lose the weight. I think you'll find that everyone is very supportive and friendly. I love your username it reminds me of rabbit I had as a little girl, which I had name fuzzie.
Again welcome and good luck!

welcome and good luck.

Welcome Anna, you can do it!

Hi Anna, I am also from MN. Are you going to the state fair? Not alot of healthy food there! I was surprised Fox 9 was saying the best thing you could eat at the fair was the corn on the cob. What about the fresh fruit stands? Seems like that would be healthier than corn on the cob! The worst thing was deep friend candy bars....ya think??? Welcome to 3FC

Welcome!! I'm new also!!! Also looking for encouragment and motivation is also what I'm looking for, but I know I have to encourage and motivate myself b/c if I don't it doesn't matter what anyone else says...KWIM??

Good luck...look around at ppls progress pics and that might give you a push...a nice little jump start lol.

yeah, I'm going to the fair on Labor Day and I always get the corn and now I don't feel as bad getting it haha. My boyfriend is a huge food lover and last year we completely pigged out on food. I really hope we aren't as bad this year. We are both trying to get fit and he always does a better job at losing weight than I am. I really wish that they had more healthy alternatives at the fair. I'm just glad that I have no interest in eating deep fried candy bars or twinkies.

Hi Anna! I'm new too! Welcome!
