New & Excited...but that's how I always start

  • Hello everyone. I'm a chronic yo-yo dieter and I want off this roller coaster ride! I'm heaviest that I've been years. I'm not a frequent poster but when I hit a diet low, I think this website will become a great resource. When frustrated or bored (yes..bored ) rather than look to the fridge - I plan to look online for more inspiration. I'm older and wiser now so I look forward to maintaining a healthy weight.

    Thanks in advance for the support!
  • Hi, Xena. Welcome. I am also pretty new and I find that this site is very helpful.

    Good luck!

    Cheers,

  • Welcome to the family, Hope that you lose all the weight that you want.
  • xena,
    i SOOOOOOOOO empathize about the yo-yo ing, eating for boredom, and being your heaviest.
    I am now trying to take wisdom from my numerous starts and stops.
    I know all the stuff is TRUE about "slow and steady" and "making a new and permanent lifestyle".

    I doubt ANYONE could post that it works to diet and exercise to goal, and then quit.
    I have always struggled with "getting" that.

    Anyway,
    may the force be with you
  • I can total relate to the YOYO and being your heaviest, I'm in the same boat. I'm new here too, 1 week today actually and down 4 lbs. You can do it! Welcome!
  • I have also been down this road many times. I joined 3fatchicks forum on the 6th of August. I need to lose weight for my health and other reasons. We can do this together!!!
  • Welcome to 3FC!! I'm glad you're here! Surf around and settle in! We have forums based on age, eating plan, exercise and more!
