Should I stay or should I go?

I have been trying time and time again. I want to change, but honestly I can't do it alone. I need others to help me through it. People who have the same experiences and struggles I do with weight loss. I always wonder what is holding me back from losing weight. I am quite the yo-yo dieter.

I am about to head off to university in the fall and I don't want my weight to hold me back from many things I know I can do. My plan was to have already lost most of my weight by now, but that didn't happen! I gained quite a bit from where I was and it's ridiculous! I shouldn't dwell on the past because there is nothing I can honestly do about it. The past is the past but I can do something about it now!

I really desire to get more involved in 3FC and try to make good friends here and get that support I have longed for all my life :)

So here I go again and this time I'll stay ;) :carrot:

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Welcome! Get involved here on 3FC and post often. You will learn a lot and see that weight loss can happen for YOU as it does for others.

Hi! I'm in college too and I'm new to this community too, but welcome anyway! I hope-- no, I know-- you'll accomplish your goal and we can both be hot and healthy college girls! :)

Yay stay!!
This site is so great. Full of inspiring stories and lovely lovely people.

Have you got an idea of what sort of plan you are going to follow?

I wish you the best of luck and am looking forward to hearing your successes!!

Thanks everyone :)

@bex For right now, the biggest part of my plan is to eat better. I think my eating is the worst part of my life right now. Instead of counting calories, I just plan to try to make better choices and eat in moderation. Also write down what I put into my body.

I am going to try and do some sort of exercise everyday, even if it's not intense. Some type of movement is better than nothing at all! :)

Hi, I'm new here. A lot of what you said really rang true with me ... I hope you stick around so we can help each other.

Hi Stephanie and welcome. On June 1st that's what I did was start eating better. I also started walking. I have a tablet on my counter and I write down everything that goes in my mouth, even when I over do it (with the snacking). I calorie count also, that helps me to see where I have messed up and hopefully not do it again. I started this time at 195.4, I weighed in this morning at 185.6. I joined a 4th of July challenge and set my mini goal at 184, not thinking I would get there but with the motivation and inspiration of 3FC I am doing this thing, this go around. I never thought of it as a life style change until I came here. I have learned so much from reading the forums and I love interacting with others on here. It really helps to keep me accountable. I think someone already said, "look around and jump in". It's a great place to be. Stay in touch :) Best of luck to you and all of us in our journeys.
