Hi from NorCal
 

What a great forum... I've been lurking for a while now :wave:

I'm 42, and after a Dr's visit last year where I weighed in at 205 I started to clean up my diet. Lost 30 lb's (cutting out fast food and milk), got down to 175, now back up to 180+ (afraid to weigh myself) and ticked off about it! :mad: 150 is the goal!

I've got some pretty good back problems and am trying to delay/avoid surgery, so cardio is hard for me. And I loathe it. I went on a little hike with my H this weekend and I was so out of breath - I was so embarrassed. :mad: So need to figure out how to increase the cardio w/o bouncing my spine around too much.

I've kinda yoyo'd all my life, hitting 150 once (in my early 20's), and it didnt look very good because I was starving/drinking to do it.

I've done yoga on and off for years, and signed up for a new class with a weight loss buddy this week! :cp:

Main issues have been sneaking & binging on fast food, drinking at least a gallon of 2% milk a week (that habit is GONE, but still tempting), and booze. I'm in the booze industry (manufacturing), so this one is not going away, just need to manage it. (no alcoholic issues, just caloric)

Love the support here, and I've never joined a weight loss group, so I thought this may be the help I need. I spend a lot of time behind a desk.

Thanks!

Welcome...I am new here I joined yesterday! It looks like we live in the same area! Good Luck on your Journey!

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.

Welcome to 3FC. Try and find a support group on this site that will work for you. It is so nice to find people who are sharing the same struggles you are. Just knowing that others share the same ups and downs of weight loss has been a help and reading the posts gets me so motivated to hang in there and work through this.

It is also nice to see another Nor Cal girl join 3FC. Just be strong and find something that works for you.

Hello and welcome to 3FC. Congratulations on your accomplishments and success. Good luck to you in your journey and in reaching all your goals.

Welcome to 3FC! :welcome: Good luck to you! :D

Thanks!

I thought this was the support group? ;)

I'll check the threads today for a group! Thanks to all! :balloons:

:welcome: to 3FC
hugs and support during your weight loss journey :flow1:
