Starting on Labor Day
 

Hello All,
I am new here but have used the site off and on for years when viewing info on diet products etc. I am 33 a single mom to a 13 year old girl. My life is pretty sedentary, I sit most of the day and it is catching up with me. I spent most of my 20's gaining and losing the same 20 lbs and swore off diets but now that I am working in a library I am gaining weight like crazy. I love food and like to cook "full flavor". I am also soooo lazzzy. Now that I am in my thirties I just am not losing like I was so here I am ... looking for help and support to get me going and keep me motivated.
I look forward to participating and getting to know some of you! I think right now I will be working on portion control and getting into exercise, cutting back on Coke and drinking more water.

Hi and welcome to 3FC!

Hey,

Really like your username, very clever. I'm a newbie too....well new to this site not to dieting, sadly. I've spent my twenties gaining and loosing the same 50lbs.

I'm 29 and a flight attendant. With a mexican coke addiction. (Love love the glass bottles, and swear it tastes better than regular coke). It's a love/hate relationship.

I also seem to be running into similar problem with the weight not coming of as fast as it used to. My doc actually told me that I might not be able to get back to what I was, so naturally I'm now determined to get even better than I was!!!!!

Sounds like your on the right track with the portion control and cutting back on the coke. I've found unsweetened iced tea/mixed with a dash of lemonade is a nice replacement for coke, so is seltzer. And I'm doing a 5 minute rule for exercise. I have to exercise 5 minutes a day, and so far so good.

Glad you've joined, and if you find any good alternatives to coke please let me know. :^:

:welcome: to 3FC

Hugs and support on your weight loss journey :flow1:
