New to 3FC - 30yrs - looking for support & maybe a kick in the butt?

  • Hi! I'm 30 years old and from Canada. Weighing in at 203.0lbs as of Feb 1st. Looking to make some big changes in my life. I started with NurtiSystem on the 1st of the month - decided to give it a two month trial and see what I can make happen. It's all about portion control for me - and thats a huge problem for me. So we'll see if I can stick to it.

    Looking for like minded, close weight gals to share journey with.
    Can anyone point me in the direction of a support group I should join?
    Looking to be accountable to someone other than myself.

    Facts about me: 30 yrs, 5' 8". Married 2 years. No kids.
    Shift work in health care. Sometimes tough when dieting.

    Thanks all.

  • Hi Skinny Thoughts!
    I'm 38, married 12 years with two boys. 5 foot 8 and 197 lbs. I started my new life on January 8th at 206 lbs....did I mention I'm from Canada too? Looking for an accountability partner as well....maybe even a cheerleader?

    I tried Nutrisystem in my 20s but they went out of business for a while so I lost my membership $s...I didn't have much success in keeping the weight off because they do the portioning for you. I found I didn't learn very much
    I hope you have better success.

    I understand the shifts making it tough, it is really hard having two growing boys who can eat ANYTHING and do, in my house...they eat about 4000 - 5000 calories a day

    keep on thinking those slim thoughts!
