I'm Jay
 

I'm Jay. I'm new to this. I have never posted on a board about my weight and binging issue before with people who "get it."
I'm a middle-aged mom currently weighing in at 201 which is down from 214 in the past few months. My goal is 135-140. I am 5'6". My weight gain came with marriage, motherhood and a more sedentary lifestyle. I went from a 3 or 5 to an 18womens in a ridiculously short period of time and have stayed there too long.
I am looking forward to posting and reading here.
I need to do a ticker too. I think that will help me see my progress.

Welcome, Jay! I think joining a community like this will make the going easier, since everyone knows what we're going through!

Good luck....

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

:wel3fc: Hi Jay!
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! :df:

Thanks, everyone. I actually did better yesterday.

Welcome Jay... Congrats on your weightloss so far. You can find so much motivation from everyone here.

Hi and welcome! I'm a newbie too. Look forward to seeing your progress. I can't wait to get my ticker either, I think that's the 20 day wait?? Anyway good luck and I hope you enjoy finding your corner in here, there's a lot of people here :D
