Hi there, I'm new and hoping to chat and get/ give support to anyone who struggles with their weight. I have since I was a child. I have some good friends but I don't feel they truly understand. Trying not to get too low at this point. Many thanks and a big hello to you all.

HELLO!

Welcome to 3FC, there's TONS of great support on this board, from UK chicks to ladies who lift, ladies who south beach, general exercise boards, weight watchers - everything a lucky lady could possibly want!

We're so glad you found us

Cheers from an ex Londoner! I need some motivation, after shedding 4 and a half stone, at times of stress i feel my bad habits coming back. Thanks for such a warm welcome.

Thanks Rockinrobin, and congratulations on your weight loss. I've worked really hard and I don't want it to all be for nothing, if having a quick chat or a bit of advice that stops me reaching for the dreaded biscuit tin. I'll mean the world to me.

OMG Step AWAY from the biscuit tin!!!! That's my complete weakness too. I can't open a packet without finishing them, never mind getting them into a TIN! Now I just don't buy biscuits, easy solution!

LOL, I try not to buy them!!!

BTW i meant to say "it'll mean the world to me" in the last post not "i'll mean the world to me" I tried to edit it!



Seriously a couple of years ago I'd go to the fridge for some milk and end up eating the entire contents. Just like that. Then have dinner.

I know how you feel. I've put on a good 4st (60lbs-ish) in the past 7 years and it really bugs me. All my friends are size 10 and everything we do seems to be centered around eating or drinking.

Hi Poison Ivy,
Tell your friends you're trying to shift some pounds, and you need to meet up for something other than a meal. It is frustrating when people seem to be able to do what they like and stay a size 10, but scratch deep enough and they probably are more active etc, it took me a while to face up to that.
Good Luck!
