Hey all!

My name is Leslie and I just turned 29. I am jumping back on the fitness/weight loss battle after a successful 30 lb weight loss and 20 lb gain. I'm working with a personal trainer (Mr. R) and following a food plan that consists of proteins, carbs, dairy and veggies. I'm 4 days into it and am feeling great! I hope to rely on all of you for motivation, suggestions and support.

Also - my current goal is to lose 50 lbs.

Welcome! I really love your screen name

Thanks Julie!

Welcome Leslie! It looks like we have the same goal - PM me if you want a buddy! Good luck!

I would love to be a buddy. I can't PM you until I get 10 posts. But I will PM you as soon as I can. I love that we have the same goal!

I love your positive attitude ! and that will help all of us... I've been here awhile, its a great forum, lots of great people, advice and support ! Sounds like you are off to a great start. Good luck... You can do it !!!

Welcome to 3FC, Leslie and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Hi Leslie!
It sounds like you're off to a good start with a great plan and on your way to meeting your goal with determination and a can-do attitude!!

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 - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

What a warm welcome! You all are so great! I've been browsing the boards and have already seen so much motivation and so many great tips and ideas! I'm excited to be a part of 3FC!
