Things are going to change..HELLLO..please say hi back! lol x
 

Hiii Everyone!

I got a picture of given to me about a month ago, it was from a gig Id gone to, and had specifically chosen an outfit because I felt like I didnt look massive.
I turned out to be incorrect and on recieving the picture all framed as a present...I cried hysterically.
Im 24,a british size 24 and Im unhappy,unhealthy and ready for a change.
So after a couple of weeks of self loatheing and binge eating, I decided to make a step and get motivated.
I typed in "fat friend syndrome" into google,cos I am such a sufferer of it..and this fantastic forum came up...so I joined immediatly.

I hope to get to know you and share my worries and success'

Id love to hear about you..

:welcome3:
You'll be glad you joined. I visit this place almost everyday. I always recommend people read old threads and ask many questions. I hope you find something that works for you.

:wel3fc: Hi Star!
So many of us can relate to your feelings - we've been there (or still are) - the support you need is here - we'll all be cheering 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! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and 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 few months 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:

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

I promise you can change all of that and feel so much better! This is a great place for support. I'm glad you found us here! :welcome2:

I've just started here myself and Im already so glad I did, this is by far the best 'tool' i've come across to help me lose the weight.

You'll love it here!

Congratulations! I am new here as well and am very happy I found 3FC. I wish you all the best in your journey. Hope to see you around!

Hiiii everybody..

Thank you soooooo much for the warm welcome...it means alot to me...

Hope we can all talk and stuff..because Ive tried about 100 diets since I was about 13 and have never stuck to one mainly because I lack the focus and drive...but I need to do it now!!

How are we all?

Welcome! Keep coming back...this place is awesome!

hiiii!!
Im going to come back here LOADS..its already helped.
Im just having trouble in choosing my path...:(

Hi Star and welcome.:)

What were the other diets/plans you tried before? And what issues were problems for you related to them?

For me, the biggest issues were 1) being hungry and 2) not getting results. I am not a picky eater so restrictions I have to follow are not a problem....but being hungry IS a huge problem and would destroy my will-power. I found that Atkins/low-carb is the plan for me because on it, I am never hungry and have no cravings. Plus, I get good results.

But for others, having to severely limit carbs or certain foods is unacceptable...so this plan would not be for them. It's really helpful to figure out which plans would work best for you.....because I can tell you that if I was trying to be calorie-counting, I'd have struggled horribly and given up...but on this plan, I do great. For others...it's something different.

You want to choose the one that you think you can actually stick with. I do the same thing with exercise. Walking is something I can stick with and have. Working out in the gym? Not so much. Best to choose the one you can stick to for the long haul.
