Seeking Support, Advice, and Motivation
 

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this site and I am really excited to jumpstart my fitness journey. Over the last 5 years, I have gained a lot of weight due to depression, overeating, emotional eating, leading a sedentary lifestyle, and not putting myself first, so I am trying to get healthier and learn to love my body again. I've managed to lose some weight over the last 4 months but have hit a plateau and need more sources of motivation to continue towards my goal. I am hoping to find support and new friendships with this community. I am always looking for advice with meal ideas as well as workouts. I cannot wait to make progress and hopefully make new friends along the way.

Congratulations on the weight loss so far! Plateaus are hard ... but you've come a long way and it can take the body a while to adjust. If you stay on plan it will start moving again.

Congratulations on how much you've lost so far! That's a great accomplishment. Welcome to 3FC and I hope you find some strategies and the support here to keep going!

My story is almost identical, right down to the last 5 years part. Welcome aboard :)

And I'd like to add my congratulations on your lost weight.

Welcome, you are doing great so far! What is your usual source of motivation?

Celebrate your achievement! That is amazing progress

Thanks everyone. Happy to be here.
