Hi I found this site while looking for support to lose weight, I am in my early 50's and have struggled for years with weight. I want to lose it more for health than looks, I want to feel better and know from the past that losing the weight will help with my health issues, right now just high blood pressure. thanks for letting me join. Pam

hi Pam
 

Welcome! I too am a fabulous fifty something, and I love 3FC. What are your plans for food / exercise / staying motivated?

I am going to start with the Prism weight loss program. I did this a few years ago, it has support groups but I haven't found one close to me, I did when I first did it and it really seemed to help a lot-having the accountability of a weekly meeting. I also am back to walking at least 30 mins everyday, well almost every day. the program is a bit restrictive, but it stresses eating real foods, not processed and eliminating the white stuff at the beginning, sugar, flours, etc. I need to write down what I eat or I eat way to much and not the right stuff. I will let you know how I am doing, thanks for the welcome. Pam
