Well, I'm joining the rest of you in wanting 2009 to be my best year ever! I've lost before and unfortunately gained about half of it back---so now I want to work on not only losing that but everything else as well!

I am doing basically low carb, high protein as my way of eating. I have a lot to lose, but patience and determination will win out!

Hey Scarlet -

We have a great "Carb Counters" forum here, so check that out. We also have groups by age range, as well as clubs by amount to lose (Like the 100 lb club, for those who are working toward losing or have lost 100 lbs or more). Look around, find a spot, and settle in.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Scarlet!

Congratulations on being able to maintain half of your weight loss. It's very difficult to maintain, so even holding back from gaining more is quite an accomplishment.

There's a Low Carb area under Diet Central, there's a 100lb Club, and other groups based on age or interest, as well as challenge threads.

Post wherever you feel comfortable We'd all love to help support you lose the rest of the weight!

Best of success!

Hi Scarlet! Welcome to 3FC! You are right--patience and determination are key with long term weight loss. You have found the best support on the web. I'm glad you're here!

Thanks everyone! Even though I am not happy about gaining back some weight, I agree, at least I didn't gain it all back--hooray for that! I can't wait to post enough to get my little ticker going to follow my weight loss!
