Weight Loss IS A STRUGGLE...
 

Hey everyone !!

My name is Riham, Im a 20 year old female. The reason I have joined here is because I feel like I really wanna put my story out there in order to help motivate and support others..

My way of supporting MYSELF is by posting weekly updates on my youtube channel.

I started my whole weight loss journey all over again on October 24th 2009, my weight then was at 202 pounds. A week, on November 1st I had dropped to 195 pounds... and 2 weeks in total after.. I now weight about 191-190.

My goal weight is to be 150 pounds.

Any questions what so ever..feel free to write me I will respond !!

Have a blessed day everyone !!!

:welcome: to 3FC. Good luck on your journey :)

:wel3fc: Hi Riham!
It's sounds like you're off to a great start - congrats on your success so far - good luck with your goals - we're all here to cheer you on!

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! You'll also find info and first hand advice on different plans to help get through the ups and downs.

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:

HEY !! Awww im glad to see that some people have actually taken the time to read what I wrote!
And thank you for the warm welcoming..I will definitely be reading more on here as well as spending time !!

Hello Ladies,

You guys are really doing well and I would like to get some tips from you all.

interesting poll. I put in between but really I guess the best answer would be both! Getting started was a HUGE struggle, but now it's routine. I fall off occasionally, and I plateau occasionally. So I guess easy isn't the word for it. But it's just what I do now. Quitting really hasn't occured to me, even when it's hard. That's just not an option anymore.

welcome to 3FC!! :)

Hello RomanceDiva,

I see you lost a significant amount of weight, do you mind sharing how you did it? I'm looking to lose a total of 50 lbs before considering going further and I am in desperate need of some inspiration. How long did it take you to accomplish this weight loss?

10lb in the first 3 weeks is amazing! Soulds like you`ll reach your goal way before summer is here! Good luck!

thank you :] & theres been something wrong with the site for a few days... i read something in the announcements forum about it being a problem with a lot of diff forums & that they're working on it...

I watched your videos at youtube, the interview video. I loved how you really put yourself on the line to keep yourself true to your program. gutsy and not easy. you deserve all the rewards, weight loss related and otherwise, that you get from doing that.

I never feel like weight loss is EASY, some times easier than other times. I really admire people who have that drive and consistency.

Awww thank you for watching !! I really appreciate it !! You know what wether you lose a pound or 5.. at the end of the day you have lost something and even if it's a pound it's always something to be proud of !!

I agree weightloss is not easy at all....I feel like if you can't commit to yourself then you're kind of just wasting time..and the first few days might be really hard but you're body will get used to it and saying no to sweets or any greasy food will just come naturally.. that's how I feel lol
