Hello! I just found this forum and it looks like a wonderful place filled with very supportive people! I'm trying to lose 100 pounds with exercise and eating better. My husband did it, why can't I? I have Hashimoto's and sometimes that effects my motivation but I am determined to work harder this time! I look forward to getting to know others who are also working toward a goal of a healthier life.
Cant wait to 'meet' you!
I'm new also. I know how hard it is to be motivated when you have other conditions affecting you. I think signing up here was a great start and pretty soon you will be moving closer to you goal.
Hi brwnigrl!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with determination and a can-do attitude - 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 and inspired. 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 - 2010 will be our year,
Lee
Welcome! This is a great time to join 3FC. Take a look at some of the pictures of the others met goals and those maintaining. I find the visuals to be the best motivation!
I came across this site by accident and I thought, "This looks like a great place for weight loss support". I've had weight issues all my life! I recently broke up w/ my fiance and I lost 40 lbs. but after the holidays, I already gained 8 lbs. back. I'm serious about getting on track! I can't wait to see the end result, but I know I have to work to get there. I can't wait to hear from all of you and see how things are going w/ you guys as well. Here we come 2010!! Sexy as EVER!! haha.
First day!
