My First Post

  • hello! i read about this website in oprah's magazine - and since i've been on weight-watchers a few weeks now i thought it would be helpful to meet other people and read/learn/live through this with all of you -

    i'm just now starting to figure out the website and how it all works - it's a little overwhelming - all the options and that - but - sooner or later i'll get the hang of it..

    right now i'm about 260+ pounds or so - i've had some illness so i didn't go to last friday's meeting - and i don't weigh in-between - my high weight this time (!) was 277-1/2 - and i'm working on getting to somewhere under 200 - i have no particular goal weight in mind - i'll know when i feel good and that will be that ..

    my focus has been on eating "good quality" foods - and not so much on eating "points" - and so far so good -

    i'm looking forward to talking with you all - deb


  • Hi Deb, and welcome! 3FC is a great place to find all kinds of information, support, ideas, recipes, laughter ... there's certainly something for everyone here.

    I like your comment about focusing on eating real foods instead of just "points".
  • You've definitely come to the right place to get tons of support and information. Congratulations on your weight loss thus far.
    There's a sticky up at the top that can help you to navigate through the boards.
  • Deb!

    Congratulations on finding this place and stepping in the right direction to meet your goals.

    This is a great place. A real friendly bunch with a ton of knowledge to help you along your way.

    I don't know what I would do without these girls. I don't always post. But I am on here everyday, sometimes several times a day reading and learning and gathering motivation.
