Hi there! I'm new to 3fatchicks and i wanted to introduce myself. I'm Erin, 24, from louisiana. I joined today to hopefully begin holding myself accountable again. The last 2 years have been the worst of my life (cancer diagnosis, chemo, surgeries, lost my brother, lost 3 friends) and I basically put the weight issue on hold for a while. I am now at the point where I feel like I can go after it full speed again. I did lose 60 pounds about 5 years ago, but from then till now, I put it all back on plus 16 pounds. But I know i can do it. I just have to make myself!! I'm hoping to get to know some people from this board that I can relate to.

to 3FC!!! I'm sorry to hear of your hardships Good luck as you begin your journey -- you'll find tremendous support and encouragement here!! You've already proven you're a strong girl -- so I know you can do it!!
