Hi I am new to all of this and I know i will need help! I am going to start the ideal diet tomorrow but I am afraid that the food is going to be boring and will waiver.....

I have never had a problem with my weight until my son was born 9 months ago....I love him but I packed on 40 lbs for him : (
I am 180lb as is and would love ever so much to back to about 145 - 150lbs...

Well heres hoping

Hi sixxchick!

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's also lots of advice on different plans to help you find the one that's right for you - especially to make sure you have variety and are less likely to get discouraged and give up!

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!

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Hi guys! I am new to this site, but really am looking for some help and support - just somone that I can talk to and get some answers from time to time. I was not heavy in school, but after being on lithium, gained a lot of weight. I had lost some, but gained it back just by over eating. I am now back on lithium and scared to death of the weight gain, but my pdoc put me on metformin. I have heard a lot good things about it so I am hopeful.

Just wanted to say hello! And hopefully there are some people out there that can keep me motiviated! :)

Welcome to both of you new folks!

We're glad you're here. Please, read lots and post. Make yourselves at home. If you have any questions, just ask.

Welcome! And congratulations on the birth of your son!
