Short and sweet- got on the scale before the holidays (haven't been on a scale in a LONG time!) Was VERY surprised at what I saw! I need to be accountable for this and I need some support from others going through the same thing! As a stay at home mom of two boys it's WAY too easy to eat crap. So here I am. And already I'm winning because I'm not downstairs in my kitchen eating Xmas cookies! So thank you! Looking to drop 10-15lbs before me and the family hit Disney World for the first time. Weekly weigh ins will be helpful also.
Thanks!!!!
Good for you for avoiding those cookies. They sure can call to you, can't they? I'm glad you found us - post wherever you feel most comfortable. You may also want to check out the Featherweights section.
Hi Daisy!
It's so hard to resist the call of the cookies, good for 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 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 the success of my weight loss 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, - Disney World here you come,
Lee
Hey Daisy! I am glad you have found us. I completely identify with having two small children and it being so "easy" to eat the crap--I get that COMPLETELY! You have found a plethora of support and info. here at 3FC so use it to your advantage. You CAN do this. You don't need scads of time, tons of money, or anything else. Just you! How exciting and how completely empowering!
New, and needing some support!
