Hi everyone,

I'm new here. I'm almost 25 and I've been overweight since I was a pre-teen. I've tried dieting before but never seriously. I just joined weight watchers a little over a week ago. This time feels different, I feel like maybe I can really do it this time. I had my first weigh in yesterday and I was down 5.8lbs. My starting weight was 362lbs so I have a very long road ahead of me. I have a few mini goals in mine, the first is to follow the program for 1 month and then 16 weeks. I also would love to get under 300lbs. I basically joined here to get ideas and support from others.

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Hi! I'm new too. I just wanted to say good luck with everything!

Welcome! This is a good place for support and info. There are forums for all different plans and ways of eating, and I think there is one for WW too. Good luck on your journey! You can do it!

Welcome to the site!!! You'll find a lot of support and encouragement here...it sure makes it easier to make it through. My starting weight wasn't too far below yours. I started Southbeach in April and, to date, I've lost 58 pounds which not only puts me under 300 but a good 12 pounds under!!! It CAN be done and you can do it!!! Good luck...looking forward to seeing your progress!!!

Way to go on your 5.8 Lbs!! Good luck with your continue efforts!

Welcome and good luck!

Hi Casey! Welcome to the board! I just joined too (even though I've been reading the board for a while now). I'm 25 too and in the 300's. It's a tough road, but you can do it! Let me know if you need any encouragement- I'm rooting for you!

Welcome to the forum, it's filled with wonderful folks and wonderful advice. Great job getting started

xcasey,
