Hello all! Well the time has come at last...the weight gain has now taken control of my life and I WANT IT BACK!!! I quit smoking over 6 years ago and now that I believe my weight (gain) is done tacking it on in all the wrong places.....I am ready to give it back....but alas, I need help in doing so. Working together with others on any type of project has always been a motivator for me and I am hoping for the same results here. Any insight on how this site works would be awesome! Would love to get that little weight tracker on my profile just not sure where to go to get it?!?? So, I wish all of us luck as we all work towards our magic numbers.....let's do this together and keep the encouragement flowing!!! Ready, set, .........GO!!!!

I just signed up today with 3FC. I am hoping to find the encouragement that I need to help me once again loss my weight.
I lost my mother to cancer last year and it has been a really hard time. I found comfort in food and the ease of stopping at a fast food place to pick up something pick after staying with her in the hospital. I quickly found the weight I had worked so hard to loss a year earlier. I also met a terrific guy last year that doesn't quite understand the need to loss weight. He has been by my side through thick and thin! I did revert back to old eating habits after we started dating, so I also found some weight gain there too.
But, I am now ready to get back into shape (other than a round shape) and start to make healthier eating chooses. I have come to this website to find some support from others going through this lifestyle change journey.

Welcome, Amalfi!! I just joined on Monday, and it has motivated me from the first minute. Everyone seems so helpful and uplifting here, which is extremely important when you're trying to do something that feels nearly impossible. :P

I believe that the signature option is only available after being a member for a certain amount of time (anyone: correct me if I'm wrong!), but you can check out your options if you go to the top of the page where it says "Quick Links." It'll open a drop down menu where you'll see "Sig Weight Tracker."

To check out any other info on the forum, and read FAQs, there's all sorts of information under "Announcements and Forum help."

Welcome to the forum guys! There is so many things to do on this site you'll want to explore the different forums for a bit and see which ones you like best. If you are looking for emotion support the weight loss support area is great as is the number of different support groups on here. If you are looking for inspiration the goal and mini goal section can definitely give you an idea of what is possible if you stick to plan. There are areas for practically any area of interest you might have and general chatter is a great place to get to know everybody and play games and unwind.

You can't get a weight tracker or send pms (i think) until you've been on the site for a month but if you wanna show some pride you can edit the little S/C/G tracker through your profile until then.

Glad to see you so excited about things. Best of luck!
