greetings fellow losers
 

:?: i'm new, but not to the battle of the bulge!
got a big anniversary coming up (20th) in
december, and wanted to be back to my
ideal self by then. my weight has been very
stable for at least these 20 years, always
within 5 lbs of ideal, till recently. seems i've
gained 30 lbs in just a month or so. very weird.
anyway, looking for all the help i can get!!
thanx!

Welcome to 3FC! Love your avatar. ;)

If you've gained 30 pounds in a month, you need to seek advice from a doctor now, and I would not suggest going on a diet beforehand. You should have your health checked and given the ok to diet first. I don't mean to scare you, but 30 pounds gained in a month is not normal.

Good luck, and keep us posted!
