newbie
 

Hello, I'm new! I got on the scale this morning for the first time in awhile and couldn't believe my eyes! How did I come to weigh this much? Well, I have a 5 yr old grandbaby and another on the way, and I cannot be this heavy and play ball with them. So, my first goal is to lose 20 pounds by the first of the year. I live alone and could really use some support.

It's nice to meet you!
 

Hi and welcome to 3FC. You have definitely come to the best place on the net for weight loss support. Looking forward to reading more posts from you and following your success :)

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

:wel3fc: Hi paddykakes!
We've all had that life changing moment of shock, horror and denial - but now we're here!

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 - you 've found the right place -you can definitely do this - join in by inspiring us and being inspired! :df:
