Hi
I just happened across this site and I thought this might be helpful in my weight-loss journey. I am 24 and have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I have decided that I have carried this extra weight long enough and I am ready to loss it for good. I have gone up and down in the past but i am currently at my highest so far.

So heres to getting that number down and keeping it there!!

Oh and I want one of those ticker things...where can I find em?

Hi and welcome! And yes! Here's to getting that number down and keeping it there!!

Read lots and post! Make yourself at home. In 20 days after 20 posts, you'll be able to add a ticker.

In the mean time, if there is anything we can help you find, just ask. We're glad you're here.

Thanks for the welcome, I have been browsing the site I am finding some helpful tips and great motivation. I am hoping that making myself accountable to others will be a helpful tool!!

Welcome! you'll love it here. the girls and guys are great and very inspirational. Good luck!

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Welcome newbie!

Hi Trina!
How smart to take action now - I wish I had at your age - the support you need is here - 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 and inspired. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs. You might like the 20 somethings form of interest as well.

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. 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

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
