Hi Everyone!
 

Hi Everyone! I am new here- I just joined tonight. I noticed that a girl I know is a member and I thought I would check the site out. It looks very interesting!

I am 34 years old and have always had weight problems. When I was a youngster I was always very skinny but then when I was a teen I had to take steroids due to asthma and that is when all my weight problems began. I haven't taken prednisone since I was about 18 but I still have the Yo Yo weight problem.

I am only 4'10" and I weigh about 143 lbs- I would be very happy if I could lose 20! Just having lots of problems getting motivated and I am also a stress eater. I am a dispatcher at a transport company so I hvae lots of stress.

Any tips anyone can give me would be appreciated. I am looking forward to getting to know you all!

Hi Janicee!!! I am 32, got asthma, and I am 4 foot 11 inches.. or so I hope lol. That is what I have on my license but I could be 4 foot 10 lol. If you are blonde I will fall over!! Maybe we would pass as twins lol. Well... I have more weight on me so we wouldn't quite pass as twins for awhile anyway lol.

If you would like to know more about me check out my website: http://www.freewebs.com/tracym04/. There is tons on there.

I am a calorie counter.. and I was portion sizes. I just started but I FINALLY lost some weight this week! That is a first in over a month lol. On my site you will see I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun to lose weight lol. This seems to be the healthiest way to do it.

Anyway... welcome to 3FC and much luck to you. Keep in touch if you would like. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome Tracy! Sorry I am not blonde so we can't pass as twins! I have tried a few kind of diets on and off. The only thing I have tried that really worked for me was Herbal Magic Systems- I am not sure if they have that in the US or not.
I am going to basically try the common sense and exercise diet for now. I work varied shifts every week so I can never get a proper schdule down. To top that off, my boyfriend is a longhaul truck driver and he is only home on the weekends so I pig out when he is home!
I wish you much success in your dieting. It is so hard and I always get discouraged when I don't lose anything. My problem is the exercising- I have a dog and I walk her often but I eat alot of junk because I sit at my desk and get stressed all day!
Anyways, keep in touch and let me know how you are coming along and I will do the same!
