HELLO! My name is Abbey and today I started doing the low carb thing for the first time ever and I think this may work for me so I'm very excited! Tired of taking blood pressure meds while I'm only 23 and want to change my lifestyle and be healthier so I can avoid health complications later in life and reverse the ones that have already occurred! Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! <3

Hey! Welcome to 3FC. Im pretty new here too and I love it!

Good luck with you weight loss! You can do it! =)

Hi, Abbey! My name's Jessica. I watch my calories, but don't count my carbs... As you can see, though, we're at the same place weight wise! I just joined the forums a few days ago, but I think it's already proving to be a positive influence. Joined a challenge or two - it helps to make me accountable for the changes in my body. Reading about the success of those who've been here longer is also a great way to stay motivated.

Hi Abbey! Sounds like you have a plan!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.


So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

P.S. Love your precious doggie!

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle
