New to the board, hello!
 

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea and I'm new to the site. I am 22 and weigh 288 lbs. I am trying to lose at least a total of 125 lbs., hoping for at least 80 of those to be before I get married in March 2007. Since January 3, I've lost about 7.5 lbs. by using myfooddiary.com to track what I eat. I also joined Curves on Friday, so we'll see how that goes.

I would love to talk to and have support from anyone who is willing to give it. Thanks!

Congratulations, Andrea!! 7.5, that's great! I've been on WW since 1/9. So far so good. I've lost 8lbs. :) I still have A LOT to lose, but this is a great start. I started Curves yesterday. So, I'm hoping I can lose weight even more quickly. This is a great site to find support from people who are in the same boat as us. If you don't get many response, don't get discouraged. There are a lot of threads to join in on and also support groups. You are welcome everywhere on here. So, WELCOME!!! Feel free to PM me anytime to brag about your weight loss or even to vent. :)

Hey ladies. Just wanted to drop in and say hey. I too am in that same kinda boat. Lost nine pds in like 3 weeks without really doing a whole lot. Definitely PM me or IM me if you have yahoo. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Hey Andrea and :wel3fc:

Artsy is right there is plenty of encouragement and support here. I started my journey 12/26 and joined 3FC 01/01. I am now down 12 lbs. Coming here daily gives me the motivation and encouragement (by reading what others are accomplishing) to keep going! Like Artsy said there are plenty of threads, and I'm sure you will find one that suits you. I post on a few, but the main one for me is "1 year / 100 lb. Buddy". It can be found under Support Groups. Here is a link if you care to check it out and you are more then welcome to join us there.

1 year / 100 lb Buddy

Good Luck to you!

I just wanted to say hi! Congrats to all of you on the weightloss!! I also just joined Curves with Artsy (my sister) yesterday. We will have to keep each other posted on how we are doing. If you need share you success or stresses pm me anytime!!

Thanks to everyone for support! As soon as I find out how to PM, I will try to do so. It's funny how some of us seemed to have started Curves right at the same time, LOL. I liked it when I went on Friday and am going again tomorrow. All I know is that I need to start excersizing and this looks like it will work for me.

Thanks again to everyone! I will check out some more of the theads tomorrow. I'm off to bed so I can wake up for work tomorrow.
