Hello everyone

WOW! I absolutely adore this site. There's so much great, USEFUL information on here.

My name is Neetu, I live in Alberta, and I'm 19 years old. I've struggled with being overweight for most of my life. "I'm gunna lose the weight soon.. starting tomorrow" is something I've been saying for way to long. It was in the summer of grade 11 that I actually did something about it and lost 15 pounds. But I ended up gaining all that back and more.

Anywho, I've finally had it. I'm sick of going into the stores and asking for an extra-large, or size 16 in pants and admiring thin pretty girls. Whenever my friends had to lose a couple of pounds they would control their eating, and work out like crazy. Which I guess makes me look stupid because I'm the obese, funny one in the clique who actually needs to lose the weight. Not to mention the crazy stretch marks I've been getting! I mean I think I owe it to myself.

So I've decided that I'm FINALLY going to start working out and do something about it! It's going to be a hard, LONG road but hey I promised 150lbs I'd see her soon and I think its about time. Starting tomorrow I'm actually hitting the gym at 5 am believe it or not!

I hope I make some friends on here because everyone seems so sweet, and I think I'm gunna need all the support I can get.


So good luck to you all.

XOXO

Neetu!!!!

I was thinking - if I had gotten a handle - a real handle on my weight at your age I could have spared myself a lot of pain down the road. This forum IS great, isn't it? I've learned so much. There is definitely the support and the knowledge here to keep you going. 5 AM - boy you are motivated. Best wishes and look forward to your success posts! I know you can do it :-)

Welcome Neetu!
You will find lots and lots of support here.
This is a great time to start making all the positive changes and to develop habits that you'll need so that you can have a long and healthy life (and of course to look cute in those nice outfits). Like bobblefrog said, I wish I could've done that when I was younger. So you go girl! We're all here for you!

Welcome!

Glad you found us! This IS a great site. Post often, can't wait to get to know you!

yay! welcome! good luck!

WELCOME! come and visit us in the 20something thread! there are tons of great ladies there to offer support specific to this age!

Oh Neetu I am so happy to see someone your age on here taking on this battle once and for all. If I can give you any advice, any at all, it would be to stick with doing this now and keep going as strong willed as you are right at this moment!! I am 32, and still saying "another fat summer" or "another fat Christmas." Learn by my mistakes - stay with this and enjoy your twenties with your new svelt body and a happy, amazing personality!

Thanks guys!
You're all to sweet.
I'll definitely keep you guys updated.

Missunderstood: Ugh! I know exaclty what you mean. Every year I'm like for my next birthday I'll be thin or next Halloween I'll be a "naughty nurse" (hahaha I know I know it's so cliche).

It's great seeing all the progress everyone has made. Keep it up!
It takes very strong willed people to do what you have all done. =)

Hi Neetu! You sound very sweet yourself! Welcome to 3FC!!!

Hi Neetu! Just wanted to stop by and welcome you I know exactly how you feel! All my life (after puberty mostly), I have always been overweight. It will be a challenge, but will be so worth it in the end. I wish you the best luck! Keep in touch

Welcome Neetu!!
