Hi everyone!!
 

Hey everybody! I just joined 3FC today and am totally loving all the inspiration and advice I see on these forums. I don't have that much weight to lose (I'm 5'3" and weigh around 125lbs, so only about 10lbs or so to lose), but I find it helpful to look at how others are staying on track, and perhaps this will keep me accountable. I'm a vegetarian so I eat fairly well already but I just started with the Fat Smash diet as a way of controlling my carb and sugar cravings, and hopefully this will give me the structure that I need. If anyone is on Fat Smash and wants to talk send me a line! Keep up the good work everybody!:)

Hi and welcome! Good for you for wanting the weight off BEFORE it becomes a big amount like so many of us!!!

Ditto with what Misti said. I wish I had done that before things got out of control. I am on JC and lost almost 50 lbs., so let us know how that fat smash diet goes. Remember it is a life change.

Thanks!
 

Hey guys thanks for the positive feedback! A lot of people use the old "You don't need to lose weight" line and it really doesn't help with the motivation. And yes, I agree with both of you that it helps to get rid of the weight before you wake up and suddenly notice those extra pounds that magically appear! :D

As far as the fat smashing goes, I'm not following it strictly yet as a friend borrowed my book, but I'm working in more cardio and trying to cut out all white foods (breads, sugar, potatoes, rice, etc...). We'll see how it goes when I follow it word for word...wish me luck! And Marie, it really is a lifestyle change which is what I like about it...I think we all know by now that fad diets don't work!;)

Hi Mellybelly!

I joined yesterday and don't have much to lose either, so I guess we're kind of in the same boat. I'm 5'1" and currently a comfortable(takes no effort) 127 lbs. I'm about ten pounds heavier than I was ten years ago, when I ate like a pig but walked everywhere. I'm also about ten pounds less than I was a year ago when I moved to Canada from the UK. The pub life in London is social and really fun, but pints of lager are tough on the wasteline. Anyhoo, I also have people tell me there's no need to lose weight, but I've got a miniscule frame and really big boobs, so my bulging mid-section makes me look frumpy and bigger than I actually am. And as I'm in my early thirties and haven't had kids yet I figure it'll only get worse unless I do something now. Right now! Woohoo!!!

So welcome and good luck.:)
