Hello!

I'm facing a daunting 150# weight loss goal....and I'm hoping with the info/inspiration here I can stick with the life style changes!

Family history of diabetes.....so the time has come to get my head out of the sand and TRY to be as healthy as I can, not only for me but also for my family, BEFORE I am diagnosed!

I look forward to getting to know you all! Everyone facing this battle is an inspiration!

Hi mishll!
Sounds like you're off to a great start with determination and realistic goals for a healthier you -the support you need is here - we'll all be 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! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise 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 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Happy Holidays!

Hi! I'm pretty new too, but I just wanted to say welcome and I truly believe you've come to the right place! This site has honestly made the difference between all my other failed attempts and the road of success I'm on now!

Good luck...can't wait to congratulate you on your first pounds lost and your NSVs!

Welcome! I understand where you are coming from. We have a history of diabetes in our family too. That was one of my motivators. Good luck to you on your journey. You will find alot of help here and sometimes a place to vent (it helps!).

Huge genetic predispositions to very serious illnesses here--it was a huge reason I began...there were other reasons too and still ARE..but yeah, I get the fear of being sick...having first degree relatives with serious crap really puts things into perspective..it pushes me forward each and every day--

You CAN do this. ABSOLUTELY. There is support but ANSWERS here too and there is nothing weight related we don't discuss--there are plenty of those here that will identify with you..The great thing I finally realized was that I didn't need "motivation" or "will power"...all I needed was MY DECISION to do it! Welcome to the 3FC!
