Default Hey girls!
So, I am so excited to have found and joined this website! I had never heard of it until I started to do some innocent googling the other day...and here I am. I am really looking forward to learning and getting to know everyone here. It will be nice to have some support and be exposed to different weight loss perspectives and experiences.

I'm a single mom in Tennessee and I feel like I've been struggling with my weight my whole life! My self esteem is also pretty low, but with every "good" day, I feel a little bit better and just a little bit more confident. I feel like I'm on my way!

I love this dancing carrott....

Hi ThicknPretty!
I found 3FC with innocent googling myself - it's amazing what you'll find!

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's also info and first hand advice on different plans to help you choose the right one for you.

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!

Hey! I just found this website and immediately registered. Just the name made me stop and take notice! I have a long journey ahead of me and it's one I've taken before (lost weight and regained it). I don't have a lot of confidence it will work this time either but I HAVE to do something. I'm short and wide and will turn 50 in Nov. 20th. I'm single (husband of 21 years walked out 2 years ago) and have 2 beautiful kids (16 and 20). I want become healthy and fit. I hope I find the support I need here!!
