Default Hiya!

Hi, Everyone! My name's Leanne and I'm new to 3FC. Like a previous poster said, I'm no newcomer to gaining and losing weight, though.

I just turned 30 in May and I live in the wonderful city of Pittsburgh. I'm in nonprofit fundraising and event planning and right now, I'm employed at a land conservation organization. I've active in community theatre and sit on a few nonprofit Board of Directors.

Last month, I performed in the musical, Cabaret, as one of the Kit Kat Klub dancers. Let me tell you, it really gave me a wake-up call! I've been a yo-yo-er for years but dancing as hard as I did for this show really put what I've done to my body into perspective. (You can read the long story on my blog leannerenee.blogspot.com) I actually lost 10 pounds over the rehearsal process without really trying which was great because when rehearsals started, I was 10 lbs heavier than I've ever been in my life!

So here I am today. I'm so happy to have stumbled across 3FC as I was searching for low calorie recipes. I've been on and off Weight Watchers for the past 8 years- was teeny tiny and superfit until I went to college- and have tried South Beach Diet and my own thing a few times as well. I made an impulse buy of Prevention magazine's 400 Calorie Fix book and really feel like it fits what I need in my life. I'm someone who needs as much structure and guideline as possible when it comes to healthy living.

Can't wait to get to know all of you!

Welcome. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.
