HEY! My name is Mandi and I'm working toward losing 45 pounds. Its crept up on me and it is time for that weight to go! I hope this forum will help keep me in check and inspired by reading your guys' stories!

LOL I meant to say hello, I'm new too! I'm Amy and Welcome!

Heya Mandi, welcome to 3FC !

Have a look around the forums - I'm sure you'll find sub forums where you can talk to others with the same interests as you. Our support groups forum has age group sub-forums, and we even have "general chatter" - because like it says, life ain't just about dieting!

Stick around!

Good Luck.

I'm new as well! I already posted this in another thread but here it is again as a short little intro:

"I started 2009 at 137 and have quickly gone down to 133. I am a serial yo-yo-er and in the past 5 years have weighed anywhere between 170 and 110. I have always looked my best between 120 and 125 so I don't have too much weight to lose, but I am seriously flabby and am more concerned about toning up and starting a more healthy lifestyle. This time around I want to stay consistent and stick with it. No more YO-YO-ING! No more "quick fixes". This time is for real."

I'm really glad I found this sight.

Good luck to everyone else in the New Year!
