Brand New!

  • Hey Everyone!

    I'm 22 and I'm from Dublin, Ireland! I've been dieting on and off for about 7 years and the most weight I have ever lost (ever!) is 10 pounds, and that was about 3 years ago! I havent put the full ten back on since then but I'm nearly there, so i really need a kick up the bum to keep me motivated!
    I used to be a member of weightwatchers and i had pretty good success with them, but unfortunately i cant really afford to continue going to meetings any more so I'm going to try going it alone, which is why i wanted to join 3FC for the brilliant support! (Ive been a long time lurker!)
    Also, I just started a masters degree which I'm finding very tough, and I've been doing a lot of binging and stress eating since I started which i need to stop, because it just makes me feel terrible afterwards and obviously its not good for weightloss!
    So thats me, I'm really looking forward to getting started!

    Slán!

  • Hi Celtic Tiger!

    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!
