Started the 30 Day Shred 5 days ago....
 

Hi all....
I'm new to the forum and just thought I'd say Hi and introduce myself.
I started the 30 Day Shred 5 days ago and I noticed there were some folks on here doing the same program, so I can look to you all for motivation?
I have 30 lbs to lose and I'm no stranger to diets (been doing it my whole life) Sometimes I'm thin, sometime not so much. But it is getting harder and harder to keep up this yoyo thing and I'm trying to find a lifestyle.
I know that exercise is really my only answer, food really isn't my problem. I eat healthy foods, rarely ever eat out, I don't have time to drink to excess, but, getting off my butt after a long day of work...that's my problem.
So I'm looking for motivation to keep me moving and work this jiggly stuff off.
BTW that butt that I have been having a problem getting off of, is killing me right now thanks to Jillian Michaels! :broc:

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs

:wel3fc: Hi Shagio!
It sounds like you're off to a good start!!

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 for the welcome!

Welcome! Like Leeway said, whenever I get discouraged, I simply look at the goals and mini-goals of my fellow 3 fat chicks. Seeing other people reach their goal is very motivating to me and helps me stick with my plan.

Enjoy the shred!

Welcome!! There is so much motivation on here it isnt funny. I am also doing the 30DS and know what a butt kicker it is (literally) You can jump the 30ds chat thread and get support from all the other shredders. :hug: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/fitn...ml#post3000274
