Hi, I just signed up and look forward to meeting everone.

I am 38, married with 4 kids (we have a yours, mine and ours). My oldest is 22, a nursing student, married with 1 son (2 1/2) and is expecting her 2nd baby this summer. Next is my hubby's daughter she is 18, she is getting married this summer to a guy with a little boy, I get 2 new grandkids this summer, we have a 9 year old daughter and a 4 year old son together.


I have done Weight watchers for a few years since my youngest was about a year old, I have lost about 75 pounds on that, yo-yo'd alot, I haven't been the most dedicated. In January, my household started the South Beach diet. My husband has never been real supportive of my weight loss efforts, but since agreeing to do South Beach, for his health, he is around 500 pounds, he is doing much better in the support area. Since he would never agree to do weight watchers, I agreed to do South Beach with him. I put our younger kids on it also. Our 9 year old is already struggling with her weight and watching my son develop some of his dad's eating habits I can see it in his future.

I loved my weight watcher meetings and miss the support there.

Hopefully I can find a new support system here.

Welcome Debbie! I hope you find the support that you are looking for, it's a good group here.

Welcome! You and your husband are doing the right thing,there are afew men on these forums ,maybe your husband would be intersted in that.Good luck.

Debbie,

Hubby and I are also on Southbeach. My 11 year old daughter developed a weight problem too. This was a major contributing factor to hubby and I deciding to get our act together and do something positive for our family. I am happy to say that my daughter's tummy is gone! We have no idea how much weight she has lost as we don't encourage the children to weigh, but I can tell you that she is incredibly proud of her body changes and is really having fun dressing for school each day.

The support that I've found here at 3FC is incredible. I'm sure you will have the same experience and I look forward to getting to know you better.
