My name is Jess. I have been lurking on the site for a few weeks now. I even started a 3 fat chicks blog to hold myself accountable. I am 30 yrs old and a mother of 2 beautiful daughters (ages 6 and 4) and I have an amazingly supportive husband. I started at 280 pounds and am down to 274.1 after just 2 weeks on weight watchers (although not attending the meetings). I would love to find some support and some amazing conversations here. And feel free to check out my 3 fat chicks blog: fatchickonamission. I so look forward to being on this path with all the rest of you!!

Oh yeah and if anyone can tell me how to add the tickers and a picture that would be awesome. I can't find where to update my signature.

Welcome to 3FC =)

Congratulations on making changes! There's a Weight Watchers area under Diet Central that you might want to check out to connect with others using Weight Watchers. There's a 30-something's support section, as well. But, post wherever you're comfortable

Glad to have you join us ^^

PS - You'll need to be a member of the forums for 20 days and have 20 posts to get a ticker/signature. However, you can change your avatar picture and other preferences under "User CP" (the top left of the bar on top).

Welcome! Congrats on the weight loss. Starting is the hardest part, I think, and you're already on your way!

welcome and good luck! You've got a great start, keep it up. And never feel discouraged if you trip, just get right back up!

Welcome and good luck!
