Hello from Germany
 

Ladies

I am also one of the girls who made a New Year's resolution and are now starting the journey to a new "Me".
While I was doing research on the internet I found this website and I think it is perfect to support me throughout my weight loss.
What's to say about me: I have 40 lbs to lose, have a very demanding job and travel every week. I don't feel that this is me any more, I gained weight gradually, wear now size 16. This time however I believe that I will make it - because I see the diet and excercise not as a temporary thing but as something that I will change permanently.
I put on most of the weight after college when I started my job, which was extremely stressful and not really very fun.

So I hope to be successful this time - with your help and support! I started 2 days ago, I am walking and exercising - but somehow it is a bit difficult for me to manage my dinner portions - I overate yesterday again :(

Hi and welcome!

I think that if you come and hang around reading at 3FatChicks each day, you'll find the journey much easier. We're here for you and happy to help.

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

welcome to 3fc!

:wel3fc: Hi teddine!
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 - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. 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 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! :df:

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Welcome, Teddine!

Losing weight while traveling a lot for work is a challenge, but it can be done! I bet that would make a good thread in the Weight Loss Support forum asking how people handle work travel and weight loss...

Anyway, just wanted to say welcome and good luck to you! :wel3fc:
