Hi everyone...new here...
 

Hi...
I don't know where to begin, and I'll try to keep it short. 5 years ago I lost 65 lbs after my daughter was born.. and had 15 lbs to go until my goal weight. I then took a sedentary job..gained quickly..decided to go back to school and gained even quicker! for the last 2.5 years ive sat on my butt with books in front of me and gained every lb back + 3. Last week my bf and I were talking, and I brought up getting married when I get out of school and he said we could. UH OH! I have 80 lbs to lose before I'm doing that. Sooo...I decided last Sunday that I had to do this. I've done it before...I can do it again. I've had no pop since Saturday night. I've only drank water. I've cut back on eating. I have a 10 week class this summer and it's 5 days a week. My plan is for the next 10 weeks to concentrate on eating better and losing weight and then adding the gym into the mix after I'm done with school. Since Sunday the scales say I've lost 5.8 lbs. I know that can't be actual fat....I'm thinking water weight?? I can tell my stomach doesn't feel as bloated, my face isn't as puffy and I can wear my moms rings and she weighs a size smaller than I do. I'm excited to to get this weight off and to looking like the old me! I don't recognize myself anymore and I'm tired of feeling this way. I'm glad to have found this place where I can come and talk to others and get advice and information. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Good luck!

H...thanks for your reply. I will put in how much I want to lose next week on Sunday! I need something or someone to hold me accountable. This sounds like just the thing.

Welcome to 3FC =)

Please stick around and post wherever you're comfortable!

I think we all need the accountability that is why we have joined the site along with needing the support and advice of others in the same boat. There is a buddy list on here where you can add people to talk to when they are online. I'll add you and we can get to know one another and swap ideas!

Welcome and good luck !
