New to 3FC , ready to dump this pudge
 

Hi all, my name is Karen and I live in So. Cal. I found this site after searching and visiting several other weight loss forums. The people here seem to be the best fit for me. I am two years post-op from papillary carcinoma. I am a fatty at 5'4" and 217 lbs. I have been on pretty much every diet out there and have decided to just go old school. Calories in vs. calories out. I am hoping to lose 40lbs but more would be great. Look forward to getting to know all of you!

:wel3fc: :welcome: :welcome3: There is alot of Support and Information on the 3FatChicks website.

Hey Karen :)

I believe you can do this! Just maintain positive and know that it will take some work. Browse around the forum and take advantage of all the wonderful resources 3FC has to offer.

good luck :)

I am new here as well. I too have been on every diet out there. I decided to just do portion control and try to get some sort of exercise in. I am disabled so that part is hard.

I'm a big fan of counting those pesky calories - I lost 90 pounds last year doing just that. The calorie counting group here has lots of good advice but then I've found just about every section here to be helpful, welcoming, and so wise with real weightloss experience. I wish you luck on your new healthy way of living!
