I posted a hello to the forum, but also wanted to post to the 300+! I just joined the forum today and hope to not only learn and be inspired by all of you but hope I can give the same back. I am recently weighed in last week at 446lbs. I am desperately looking for the help and motivation to keep me going on this long journey I have ahead. I joined WW last week and I have been doing great so far. I have never been as motivated as I am now. When I stepped on that scale last Thursday I had to hold back the tears. I had no idea I had let myself get this heavy.

Welcome to 3FC This is definitely the right place to find help and motivation. I've only been on here for a week and people have already helped me SO much. You're not alone.

erinkman- HI and welcome!!! feel free to join us on the weekly thread. We are a chatty group of ladies . I have made wonderful friends here and couldnt imagine trying to do this alone!!

Welcome!!!! This is a great place to get started on your journey. Jump in at anytime!

The one thing I've thought over the years is that within a couple of weeks of being over 330-lbs (the highest the old scale went) I should have gone out and bought a new one. It's a dangerous place to be... just a little over. I was more than 70 pounds over before I dared to step on a scale that gave me a real weight. The good thing is that it motivated me to do something about it.

Good luck with your journey!
