hi, my name is Amanda, and i'm from Tx. i'm going to my first weight watchers meeting tomorrow, and i'm super excited/nervous! i've been overweight pretty much my whole life.. and i feel like i've tried everything. but i don't think i've ever been more serious about anything in my entire life as i am about this, right now. so, i'm hoping to find some new friends and some support here.

Hi Amanda, I'm new from TX as well. I've also been overweight my whole life. This forum is a great place to relate to people and get online support. Good luck and welcome to 3FC.

Hello Amanda and Heather...
I'm next door in Louisiana, and thought I'd extend some of our wonderful Southern hospitality in wishing you both well. Weight is a lifetime issue (either of you see Oprah yesterday?~ and I'm not a big fan)..take it one day at a time, keeping your focus on a goal. The choice is yours!

Hi there!



I'm a long-time WW member (been a meeting-going member since April 2007, if one can consider that a long time). It's a great & balanced program with a phenomenal support group. I also <3 3FC. It's a fantastic online support group! There's even a Weight Watchers section under Diet Central where you might want to jump in. But, please, post wherever you're comfortable.

I've also been overweight/obese my entire life. I completely understand being the 'big girl' at every social function, and all the hang-ups that go along with it. This is the first time I've been able to take off and keep off a significant amount of weight. Just know that you can do this. And we're all here to help as we can

Best of success!!

What Faerie said

Check out the WW forums, as well as those by age range and amount to lose. We also have a ton of miscellaneous challenges and groups just waiting for you to hop on in.

So look around, find a spot (or two or ten!) and keep posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!
