Hello everyone!

I found 3FatChicks this morning after my younger sister told me about it! She said she joined awhile back but rarely posts. I was telling her that I'd really like to finally lose my weight, and that I think I'm finally ready for it. She pointed me towards this site.

As the title says, I have 100 pounds that I'd like to lose! And I am anxious to get working on that weight!

I am a 23 year old student and housewife. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, who happens to be an over-the-road truck driver. So I only get to see my hubby about 5 days out of the month. What a great surprise it will be to him when I finally knock off my weight!

I am a message board addict! I am a moderator on a wedding chat board, and I also surf around several other boards. So I will be around here often! And I can't wait to meet you all!

WELCOME!!! Oh, you're going to like it here, I promise! I LOVE this site! It has motivated me even more than I already was. I have lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks since I have been here! *thank you, thank you* LOL!

There's alot of success stories as well as inspiration and motivation. I have to say that I have never really felt welcomed at any weight loss site except for this one!

If you need to talk, ask questions, or just need some encouragement, come and visit us here. There's alot of members who are in your shoes. In fact, I use to weigh over 350 lbs. I am doing well and have about 35 pounds to go. So I DO know what you're feeling; physically & emotionally. I'll "pick you up" when you feel like falling. I am here for you and anyone else who needs a shoulder to cry on or someone who'll just listen and give some friendly one on one motivation!

I too need to lose more than 100lbs, and I have found this to be the place to go even just to check in!!!!

Thank you so much for your welcome Emerald, I hope you don't mind that I'm sending you a private message!

Thank you Robsia! I will go check out that support group!

I am new as of this very moment and stumbled upon this site while considering trying the Sonoma Diet (one I haven't tried yet..lol) and I have a bit over 100 lbs that I would like to lose. I look forward to being here and hoping that this time I can do it. I am 40 yrs old and mom of 3 and 5 yr old girls. I also belong to a gym close to my job that I get to about 2x a week. I am hopeful that the Sonoma diet is it for me. I have to get the book, but have looked into it and it sounds great.
Thanks in advance for all I will learn here.
