hi everyone, my name is jamie i am 21 years old and currently the heaviest i have ever been.

i was at a very happy weight about a year ago, a healthy 130lbs. after a hard break up i dropped down to 120lbs. in late november of '09 i had a serious problem and had to have surgery in january '10. my metabolism was shot and i wasn't able to workout, lost my job and was home watching tv in bed and eating from boredom. i put on about 40lbs and i'm now around 170-175, the most i have ever been.

it's time for me to take action so i am doing everything that i can to stay motivated. a new diet and excercise, a 14 day cleanse, weight loss hypnosis, food journal and why not, this weight loss forum! i'm really hoping to meet some great people on here that will be supportive and who i can also inspire.

well there you go, talk to you all soon

Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, inspires you, and just post to join.

thank you, great idea.

Hi Jamie and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Welcome and best of luck!

i feel supported already, thanks ladies
hope to see everyone around
