Hello - just joined today....am starting South Beach. Would like to have accountability partner (s)....anyone interested? Or just to meet new friends with the same goal. I have over 100 lbs to lose and boy is that intimadating when I think about it.....I need to do this, or I am going to wind up 6 feet under. Thanks - looking forward to hearing from people!

Hey there, Welcome to 3FC. Why don't you wander over to the "1 yr / 100 lbs" thread under support groups. It is a great bunch of ladies and we always welcome new faces.

Hi aqua, and

Hey, be encouraged... there are a lot of folks here with over 100 pounds to lose. A couple months ago I was one of them but yay have lost 45 pounds so went under the 100 pounds to go mark!!!

I notice you are in Florida... I used to live in Fort Lauderdale!

Just jump in anywhere... it's a very friendly place.

Thanks for the support! I work on a computer all day, but I am having a hard time navagaiting this site?? Can anyone tell me how to edit my profile? Thanks...once I do that, I think I will be able to communicate more.

Hi and welcome. Congratulations on getting started. There is a section for South Beach and I'm sure you can find lots of help and support. Wishing you the best.

Hi! I am also new, and have a similar situation. My blood pressure was 240/140 two weeks ago (luckily two medications later it was normal yesterday). I was told yesterday that I have to lose weight or else, and I don't like the or else option. I would also like a partner to buddy up with.

Hello and Welcome!!

Good Luck on your weight loss!! You can do it!
