Hello everyone,
I am new to this site (and to forums, hope I'm doing this right). I have a lot of weight to lose. Its hard for me to believe that I allowed myself to become this way. I know I cannot do this alone, so I am hoping to find some supportive people here. I really truly want to change my life; I know if I don't, I won't have much life left to live. Anyway, I hope to work toward my goals one day at a time and I'm going to try hard to stay on track.

welcome! good luck!

Hi Zazanya to 3FC. Best wishes for your weight loss journey.

Welcome, you will def. find support here.

One day at a time is a great way to look at it. Heck, sometimes I focus on one minute at a time! I'm glad you found the site! It's so supportive. Be sure to post often so we can get to know you and help in any way we can!

Hi zazanya!
Sunds like you're ready to get started to achieve your desire for a healthy and happy you - the support you need is here and we'll all be here to cheer you on!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right one for you and get through the ups and downs.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. I have a lot of weight to lose, too. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
