Hi. I just found 3FC tonight while surfing the internet for some moral support. I'm not new to the dieting scene (been there, done that....multiple times!). But, I want to make this year my last diet run. After spending the holidays psyching myself up (and discarding all tempations), I started my new adventure yesterday at the crack of the New Year and have had two succesful days. I am determined. I'm a 43 yr. old Ohioan, a mom/wife...."home executive" type. I'd like to join a group...or if anyone would like to link arms with me, that would be great!

Hello Sweetpea. Welcome. I have the same idea to make this my last diet and finally loose all the weight I have been trying to for 6 years now. I am psyched and trying to stay on my diet this time. It's been a week now so I guess I am doing good. I normally can last 2 weeks and then I start to go off it.
Talk to you soon
Stephanie

Hi Ashlie. Thanks for answering. My, you are brave starting beFORE New Year's! Bravo! Sensibly, I'd like to lose about 40 pounds....agressively, I could lose up to 65, but I haven't seen that weight since 1979! I was halfway there in 2003, but got horribly lazy and up the scale I went. I also have a fitness goal of improving my flexibilty and inner core strength and balance. My ULTIMATE goal is to run a 5K. Right now I'm happy with a 55min 3 mile walk! Again, thanks for writing.

Sweetpea, you are in luck!!! I've only been a member of 3fatchicks.com for one day and have found so many wonderful and supportive people! They're all amazing, and the anecdotes and advice they have is phenomenal. I can't wait to get back to work to tell everyone about this site.
