Hello all...I'm another newbie. No real story to tell...I just love food and HATE exercising. I have always been heavy, but have gained quite a bit recently and I really don't like how I look or feel. I've stopped and started weight loss programs numerous times over the years, but reading your posts today has really motivated me to get off my tail and take control. Hopefully, I will have some good news to report in the near future. This is going to be tough, my goal is going to require a lot of willpower and determination...but I know I can do it.

I'm glad you found us. We are a great group of people and I hope you learn alot. I will never go on a diet again. I'm sure you probably heard it before. This has to be a lifestyle change not something you go on and off. I rediscovered 3fatchicks back in January. I had just read YOU on a diet by Oz and Roizen. I highly recommend the book, I learned alot about my body. Then I came here and read a success story that talked about Superfoods RX by Pratt. I then read that. I have taken parts of both books and changed the way I ate and thought about food. I now exercise, eat only healthy good for me foods and will never go back to the size I was. How do I know this with confidence? Because not only is my body changing, but the way I think has changed. I hope you get a healthy body. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
