New Here!
 

Hi, I'm Jess and I just stumbled upon this web forum. I am starting of a weightless journey and am looking for some supports on this road to a healthier me.
I am 26 and live in a smallish town in Ontario Canada. I work as a Registered nurse in a hospital (a crazy stressful job). I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 12, and don't ever remember weighing less than 200lbs. I just took a leap to start metformin, along with a good exercise and diet plan. I am hoping to make it to 175lbs. Even if i make it too 200lbs Ill be ecstatic! So I guess I am just putting my name out there and will check this site out! If you know of any groups or forums that I might be interested in feel free to respond!

thanks :)

Hello, and welcome to the forum

Hi Jess. It sounds like we have similar goals. What kind of exercise are you doing?

Hi Jess!
This is a new forum to me as well. I also see that we have very similair goals as well.. Im aiming for 2lbs a week. What are your weekly goals? What weight loss program are you in right now? I am currently paying for online weight watchers membership but really haven't been tracking for about a month :/ I am happy I found someone my same age w/ around the same weight loss goal.. I have been up and down w/ my weight my whole life and I know w/ support, weight loss is a lot easier. :)

Hey Jess! Fellow Canadian here :)

Welcome to the forum and I wish you the best of luck! Are you doing a specific program? Diet? Plan? Exercise? Set yourself some small goals, they are very attainable and much more motivating when you look at it that way instead of the big picture.

:) Good luck xoxo

Hi Jess,

I too am 26 and literally just joined 3FC. I am from Phoenix,AZ and have continually gone up in my weight throughout the years. Used to be really fit and active, but since I graduated from college, went through a major unexpected health scare, then through a bought of depression I find myself at a place I never knew I would be. I also have PCOS and found out 2 years ago. I know I need to make major changes in my lifestyle and I know this is a step in the right direction. This is a first time for me seeking out support with losing weight as I've only ever lost 17 lbs and that was because I didn't eat for a week in the hospital.

Lets see where this journey takes us.

Wow this is great> here for one day and already have plenty of people on my side. I am not really into dieting but plan on starting to eat healthy meals throughout the day (have a struggle with that in the past) and I am starting to exercise at the gym. I'm starting slow as I'm also kind of on the mend from a month off of work for depression and anxiety. So my first few steps/goals are going to the gym for aquafit classes.

Hi Jess! I am also new to 3FC and just started weight watchers online this past Monday. I also work in a hospital and it is so hard to lose weight. We are either so busy we don't get a chance to take a break or someone has brought in potluck and you graze on junky food all shift! Add grad school to full time work and my weight has crept up, up, up! I am currently 268 and ultimate goal is 140 (i think). I would really like to just be under 200 though! Glad you're here and can't wait to get to know everyone better!
