Hi Everyone!

I just joined the site today. I'm trying to figure out where I belong. I'm hoping to find a group that will help me be accountable with the plan I'm on, or maybe a challenge? I'm not really sure which way to go, so I'll keep looking! In the meantime, if you have any suggestions - I'd appreciate them. Thanks!

Hi Nickki, welcome to 3FC We're glad you joined, and would love to help you find a place to call home You can browse all the forums and jump in anywhere that looks interesting. We also have a lot of diet specific frums. What kind of plan are you on right now?

Hi Suzanne!

Thanks for the welcome! I have just started the Body for Life program. It's one of many that we have at my house! This one worked for me before, I lost 30 pounds on it & have kept that off - but, now I'm ready to really get back into this and finish what I start. The Body for Life program has a forum of it's own, but I don't know that I'm going to stick with this program all the way through to the end of my weight loss. The diet part I'll stick with, but I'll probably change up the work-out part...so, I don't want to get tied in to that particular program site and then lose out on it if I do switch things up half way through (I hope that makes sense). I have 84 pounds to lose, so I'll be doing this for a while!
I think being accountable to someone other than myself is going to be important to me, so I'm looking for that...haven't had time to get through all the different groups yet, but I'm sure there's one here that will work for me!

Thanks again for the welcome!!

I LOVE your rewards for yourself! What a great motivator - of course, feeling healthier and watching your body change (and the scale drop) is a great motivator in and of itself.

There are SO many great people here with wonderful advice. My suggestion is that you just jump in and keep posting. I believe there are a group of "Body for Life"'rs in the forums, so seek them out, or just post wherever.

Can't wait to get to know you better.

Thank you! I've found a few threads and have been posting, everyone on here is so helpful and encouraging - it's exactly what I need! Yeah, the rewards just take it a step beyond the obvious benefits for me. It's sad for me to say that I need more incentive than being healthy & in shape, and even though I'd be working towards the same goals, the rewards make me work harder and want it more. I guess whatever works, I just hope I can afford them as I make each goal! LOL
