Hello Kerrie - good to see you. Have a look round at all the different boards and post where you like. Don't be shy. I think there's one which discusses depression.

Good going with Slimming World. I've heard good things about it.

Hi,

Happy New Years and welcome!

Welcome to 3FC!

Hi Kerrie!
What a great boyfriend to join you on this journey, you're right, he is brilliant - 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 choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs. There is a great forum on weight loss and depression - you would be a great addition to it, giving support and joining others with this challenge.

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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

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

thanks to everyone xx
