Hi! I'm new to the board and hoping to find support and info for losing weight. I had my 3rd child (almost 2 y.o. now ) and I'm trying to get my body and fitness back. It seems harder this time around, probably because I'm so busy and because I'm 40 now! I was about 140 lbs before getting pregnant.

Anyway, I started dieting and exercising in earnest 6 weeks ago, and it is paying off (started at 173, now at 161). I've been lurking on the forum and it seems that there is a wealth of support and info here, so I'm excited to join!

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

welcome! and good luck !! you can do it!!

Hi lovetorun! Sounds like you're off to a great start and have a good plan to reach your goal!

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 bunches of people here with more to lose and some 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!
