Last week I felt like I was the fattest woman in the world. And the most hopeless. I have been overweight all my life. Having joined 3fatchicks and reading the wonderful stories of support, I find my eyes now immediately going to the commenters weight ticker and the amazing weight losses. I no longer feel alone, or hopeless.
Happy New Year

You are DEFINITELY not alone!!!! I felt hopeless too, but taking control of your life and your eating makes that feeling go away pretty quickly.

Good luck, and...

Oh, I understand that alone and hopeless feeling! Rest assured that you are not alone and that weight loss is possible. Just take it one step at a time, one day at a time! I started this journey in my 50s and have been successful this time. You can do this and you are not alone.

You are SO not alone! Did you see the sheer number of people who are brand-new in the Introductions forum? I'm new here, too, and really excited to find other people like me! It's good to meet you!!

I completely understand what you are saying. There are so many days that I feel the same way and I am glad that I found a site like this one...it is nice to know that you don't have to face the struggle alone.

That lonely feeling can really keep you down. That's why I too came to this board! Welcome and I am excited to be here with you! We are not alone and besides support for the down times, it's great to have a cheering squad for you for the good times - and those I wish many on you!

That's how I'm feeling, excited! I've never felt that way starting out on a diet before but that's what this site does. It excites. I want the ticker. I want to see the weight dropping away. I want to say to a newbie "You can do it just like I did!" Thank you all for your support. And lavieboheme73, its good to meet you too
