Hey everyone, just joined today, I recently noticed how fat I've gotten and decided to do something about it. I've started walking yesterday and been trying to watch what I eat. I feel better already about REALLY doing something about how I look and feel instead of complaining about it

Anyhow any advice anyone have free to let me know. I'm glad I found a site such as this, where I can share advice and motivation with my new online family.

Welcome to 3FC! You'll be glad you joined. Good luck with all your weight loss goals...we're all here for support and there is a lot of great information on this site.

Hi Jada!
Sounds like you're already off to a great start, it's amazing how small changes can make such a difference in no time- 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. Try the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

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 since last fall, 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
