Hello from NC!
 

As I sat here tonight thinking "I can do this by myself" and "I've done it once, I can do it again"....I remembered that when I was successful I had all kinds of support! Lucky for me I have a great support system at home!

So now, it's ya'lls turn to help a good ole Southern gal out! Just give me a swift kick in the rear when I get down and out....tell me I can do it! Whatever it is that you do, I'm grateful for any of it!

OH...and as if you didn't guess it, my name is Michelle and I'm from NC (near Charlotte).

Hi Michelle

Welcome to 3fc! Do you know what kind of plan you will be using? I am a calorie counter and have lost 71 lbs this year. There are a lot of encouraging stories, interesting posts and friendly people in this community. Best wishes on achieving your goals!

I've tried WW, which worked for me. I just don't see the appeal of going to meetings and it's senseless to waste money to track stuff online. I will be using that approach, since I have my stuff from before.

71 lbs...that's AWESOME!!

We are going on a cruise in March, 2012, so I'd like to be a bit more firmed up and feeling like my old, confident self. She's in there...I know it!
