Default Newbie with over 100 lbs to lose
Hi! My name is Debbie and I've been overweight the majority of my life. I'm embarrassed to admit I allowed myself to get up to 347 pounds! I started a weight loss plan in August and have lost 21.75 pounds so far. I would like to lose another 190 pounds to get to my goal. I started a blog to record my weight loss journey and this has helped me stay focused.

I am looking for inspiration and encouragement to persevere on the long, long road ahead! I am having trouble getting motivated to exercise. I always have excuses not to follow through! I just came across this sight yesterday! I think it's a wonderful way to support each other.

Hi Debbie! Welcome! I am newer to 3FC also, but am addicted to the site and the encouragement here already! LOVE IT!

I also have more than 100 lbs to lose, and it's a long journey! But I'm committed "this time" and I love having the ideas and support here! It's really helped me so far!

Congratulations on already losing more than 20 lbs! That's awesome! You're on the right track! You CAN do it!

Hi there! I'm kinda new here too but this is the place I been coming to when I need advise or just read sucess stories,belive me it helps a lot. I've learned if you never give up no matter what eventually you will lose the weight you want! Keep starting over if u have to dnt let 1 bad day discourage u from achieving your goals! Good Luck!

HI and welcome to 3FC!! You should try getting a wii and play it with your friends or family members it's pretty fun and you don't have to go outside to get a good workout =) If you get a wii try boxing! That one gives you a good workout!

Hey! It's my first day, too. I'm thrilled to find this great site - you all seem so... so... so NORMAL. Thank heavens! I'm looking for the kind of community that can help me move from conviction to action - I KNOW what I need to do, but I'm the kind of person who needs external helps to GET THERE. I'm a good cheerleader for everyone besides myself.... NO MORE! It's time.
