Newbie doing The Belly Fat Cure
 

Hi everyone. My name is Stephanie and I am from the Richmond Va area. I am 32 and have been battling with my weight since I got pregnant with my oldest son who will be 16 in March. I suck at dieting and am even worse at exercising. The only time I have had any success was between kids 2 and 3, I lost 50lbs on the Atkins diet. I have been trying to make small changes since the beginning of the year but then I came across The Belly Fat Cure diet and it sounds like something I can do. So I went out and bought scales (ouch!) and here I go. I really like this site and look forward to receiving and offering support and ideas.

Hello and welcome! I am glad you are joining us.

I wish you the best on your weight loss journey!

Cheers,

J

:wel3fc: Hi Stephanie!
Sounds like you're off to a great start with a good plan - the support you need is here to get through the ups and downs - 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. Try the 30 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. Check out the Carb Counters, others on the Belly Fat Cure are in that forum.

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 - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired! :df:

All the best - good luck with your goals ,

HI! I think we all suck at dieting and exercising -- at least those of us who are new here. After all, if we were experts on it we would be over on the "3 skinny chicks who eat all they want" forum. So, you're in good company!

I'm curious -- what is the "fat belly diet?" I've never hear of that one.

Oo, I went to Richmond last summer!

Hopefully 3FC can you keep you on track, and I wish you all the success with the Belly Fat Cure diet! :D

:welcome: fellow 32 year old and Virginia'er :)

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

Barbara - The belly fat cure diet is based on a book by Jorge Cruise. Basically you cannot exceed 15 grams of sugar and 6 servings of carbs (roughly 120g). I have read a lot of success stories of people on it.
