My name is Brianna and I am 238lbs. I haven't always been this heavy, but about a year and a half ago I had my gallbladder removed and I've gained about 80lbs. since then. I know I can do it, but I have some issues. I used to be bulimic so I know that sometimes I still over eat to make myself feel better. That I know is a problem, but I also have horrible will power. Sometimes I think no one else is on my side, so I'll go for it and try hard then just give up. I need some support and I really like to see people's progress.
I'd love to gain some friends and lose some weight,
Brianna

Hi Brianna!

My name is Apryl, and I just turned 19, so we're pretty close in age. I'm a freshman in college and *finally* making the time to lose weight my #1 priority. It's so tough though! So much going on... and so many skinny friends who eat whatever they want.

I know what you mean about the support... and trust me, it's here. I've been here since I was a freshman in high school and I really feel like there were sometimes when the only people who cared were the women here. They are wise, and beautiful.

So please, stick around. Post often, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Always,
Apryl

You've come to such a great place for support and encouragement. Everyone here is wonderful. For the first time ever I'm managing to stick to my plan and I'm sure it is because my willpower is being boosted so much by all the amazing people on this site - I hope that it will be the same for you.

Good luck! Hope to see you around here a lot.

Hi Brianna, beautiful name by the way. Welcome to 3FC. This truly is a great place for support, encouragement and advice. I would like to suggest that you check out the Chicks In Control Forum here at 3FC. I think you will find many people there who have many similar issues as yourself.

Great to have you on board. Good luck to you!

Brianna! So glad you decided to join us.

Welcome Brianna!

WELCOME Brinana! I'm 20, turning 21 in July so we are close in age. 3FC is a great place to be and we're glad to have you!

Apryl ~ I love your name. I know only one other person with their name spelled that way.

It's so great to see someone so young who is ready to start this journey. You face a different set of challenges than people my age because of social eating, peer pressure, and living situations. As the wisest 19 year old I know said:

thats what we are here for girl, smile it up.

Thanks, ladies.

Brianna, how's it going?
