Hoping to make a life-long change
 

Hi there :)

I’m 22 and I’ve been overweight for my whole life. I’ve tried dieting numerous times, sometimes losing some weight but always gaining all or most of it back. This past May, I finally realized that I need to make a life-long change and I started watching what I ate and counting calories. I’ve lost 18 pounds so far, and I’m hoping to hit the 20-pound mark for my 23rd birthday in a couple weeks.

I’ve never really had support during my previous weight loss attempts and I’ve been missing that sense of understanding this time around too. I found 3FC a few days ago and after browsing through the forums, I’m already so inspired by the sense of community and the success stories I’ve been reading! I’d love to get to know some other people going through the same process I am while I continue on with my weight loss journey!

Welcome to 3FC!

Congratulations on recognizing what you need to do and on losing 18 pounds so far :yes:

Best of wishes on your journey~
