I am back and need encouragement

  • Hi All,
    It's been a long time since I was here last, I gave up before and need some motivation & a** kicking.

    This morning when I weighed it hit me that unless I seek support I will continue to gain weight. 253 this morning

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I want to change!!

    Thank You 3FC for this wonderful site I hope to make many new friends and face many new challanges.
  • I completely understand. I have been fighting my weight my entire life, but really got serious about it when I hit 325 I've been keeping up with this forum for about 3 weeks and I think together we can all be winners!!
    Keep your head up!! You've admitted to yourself and recognized you need to do something! That is a huge leap in the right direction!!
    Good Luck!
  • Hi WamTam!
    Hey, it happens to all of us, we get off track sometimes and lose our way - but it sounds like you're ready to get going again - the support you need is here - we'll be here to cheer you on..

    Glad to have you back with us! 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 since last fall, 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 back - you're in the right place - jump right back in by inspiring us and being inspired!

    All the best - good luck with your goals,
    Lee
