Hi, all. I'm not the best at posting but am good at reading the threads.
I've gained about 20 lbs in the past 8 months. Thyroid checked, fine. Bloodwork, good. I'm thinking my metabolism has hit the wall. on top of it I hit 40 this year! all at once it has hit the fan.
I've always been in good shape, petite, etc. Last diet I was on was in college when I gained the Freshman 15. That was 1990. So I've done pretty good.
I'm trying not to get upset, depressed, etc, but its hard. I just want to put my best foot forward and be healthy. I found this website after lots of 'reading' other message boards. I was looking for a BellyFat Cure board and found here here on 3chicks.
the short list: set small daily goals, treadmill 3 days a week, and watch my sugars and what I can. I'm going to Cancun in February and want to look better for me and my husband.
hello and by from sunny Seattle.

Hello, im new here too. Congrats on starting your journey! How much do you want to lose?

I'm looking to lose 10 to start, then down to 20 total. slow and steady wins the race. I can blame carbs, I can blame sugar, but ultimately, it boils down to me. time to take control )

Welcome to 3FC =)

Best of luck on your goals! You can do it

Hello!! Brand new too! Just found this site few minutes ago, but people seem
to be very supportive. Started my diet change a little while back, have lost 23# so far, hoping to lose another 30 or so. It's not easy, temptation everywhere. If I mess up my diet one day, I just start again the next day. Just can't give up, no matter how far I stray.
