So for months I've been looking forlornly on these forums waiting for the day when I would be able to officially join you all.

And it's here. Well, yesterday it was. I promised myself if I weighed in again at 135 then I would post here, and I did.

So here I am, down 65 pounds to 135...a weight I thought I would never see

I know that the hardest part of my journey is just beginning but I'm determined to not go back!

Welcome ! Congratulations on a great loss.

Hi there and welcome! Congrats on your loss!

Congrats! Please join us over on the weekly chat thread or any other thread you please!

Thank you so much everyone! I look forward to maintaining with you all! <3

I have to be in the right mindset from the start if I'm going to make my goals... so please forgive me for lurking on this forum. Being a maintainer is where I've failed in the past. thank you to all that share their stories.

DocAuD, lurk away! Join us if you please! We love it when people join us!

If you have lost one pound and kept it off, you are a maintainer.

Megan and bargoo... thanks for welcoming me and making me feel a part of this group. I didn't think that I was a maintainer since I haven't met goal, but bargoo you make an interesting point. I have been happy to find this forum and amazed at some of the members that have been posting for years and years. I can most assuredly find inspiration from being here.

DocAud, I dieted for years and was able to lose but was never able to maintain, it was after joining 3fc that I learned how to do it and I learned from people who had maintained for a long time. You can do it, too.

DocAuD I am a newbie maintainer but the maintainers here are so knowledgeable and inspiring! I have learned so much from them and I hope to be a part of the maintainers here for a long, long time!
