Hi,
My name is Missy, and this is my first post on here, or on any forum. I am in my 20's and about 70lbs over weight and my BMI is about 38. I have always had an unhealthy relationship with food, and I've done about everything from binge eating, skipping meals, using laxatives to get rid of food, and I'm just really tired of it. I'm ready to loose weight in a healthy way, to be strong, and love myself and my body. I've never talked to anyone about my problems ever (thats including family, friends, or therapists) so I thought I was try this. Has anyone been to an OA meeting? Does it help? Thanks so much, I look forward to encouraging you all throughout your journey.

Hi Missy! Welcome to 3FC

Welcome Missy! I've never been to an OA meeting, but I think anything that helps you feel like you have a support network of people dealing with what you are dealing with and somewhere to ask questions when you have them is a good thing.

3FC is great for that too, so jump in we're here to help

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

Welcome to the forum, Missy!

I always recommend hiring a PT to anyone who's trying to lose weight. I hired one in January and I'm more than happy with the results.

Hi - I just signed up today. I've been slowed down quite a bit by a complete achilles rupture (september). I'm currently restricted from running or jumping (by my doctor) and from walking any distance (by pain). The good news is I've lost the 6 pounds I gained in the time between the injury and starting PT. Onward!
