Smile Newbie!
Hi! I am excited to be here. I have tried diet and weight loss many times, but never felt like I was dedicated enough. In high school, I was a part of weight watchers and was down to 138, and maintained it until my second year of college where my weight slowly started creeping up on me. The next thing I knew I was 182! What the heck, how did that happen? Part of me did not want to think about it, because I still felt pretty and like things were going up in my life, and I just battled a bought of clinical depression. But now is the time, because the way I have been eating and carrying on, I am afraid the 200s will creep up on my and I don't need that to happen! I want to get back to a good weight for my height, and my friends and I are going on a trip to the bahamas in september and I want to look good in pictures and wear a cute bathing suit! Thanks for reading, and I hope this 3FC journey works!

Welcome! I'm new here as well and have also made the decision enough is enough! I've managed to allow myself to cross into the 300's (!!!) so kudos to you for not allowing it to get to the 200 mark! Looking forward to losing weight together

I am new here too. What kicked my butt into gear is standing on the scale and seeing 292. Good luck with your weight goals and I am sure you will be where you want to be in Sept.
