hello from a new member...
 

Hello everyone!

I am new to this site but not new to weight loss. I started my weight loss journey in February 2010. My start weight was around 173-175! I often look back to pictures of myself at this weight and wonder how I came to allow this weight for so long. I am currently 121 pounds and striving to reach 118. It took me a long time to realize that I was trapping myself from doing things I wouldn't do at a heavier weight. I really enjoy going to try on jeans and fitting into size 2 and 0 with ease. It has been a really tough road...and will always be a constant struggle...but it can be done. I wish everyone luck with persistence, will power, better choice making, and above all the ability to forgive yourself and start over.

Hello
 

Hello. My name is Judy. I am a new member to this site. I have been on prednasone for the last year. I have been diagnosed with a disease called Sarcoidosis. I have been holding firm at my current weight but would really like to lose. I have been trying to lose weight but the point system I am currently using does not seem to help. Any suggestions?:carrot:

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Welcome and good luck!

Hi Demi and welcome to 3fc. Congratulations on all your success! What a difference in clothes shopping once the weight comews off, eh? :-)

Hi Judy and welcome to 3fc. Prednisone is the gold standard anti inflammatory because it works so well. Unfortunately, the side effects are nasty. Any weight gain - which is usually inevitable - is lost with hard work. Please ensure you don't stop taking it without consulting your physician.
If the point system isn't working for you, I suggest you check out this site for other weight loss ideas and suppport. If one doesn't work don';t give up. Try another one. Good luck!

Good job on your progress so far and good luck with reaching your goal. Welcome!

Welcome Demi to 3FC, we are glad you are here!
