Hi, im new to this forum and slightly new to dieitng.. when younger didnt have an issue.. then when i did get fatter, my mother died ( was 26) and well i was so overly depressed didnt care.
now i am trying to get healthier.
i weighed 160, and i am 5'2 and my dr said i was obese... which i found odd. since alot of the weight is in my chest (size H cups) but i am a size 16 stretch, size 17 non stretch jeans. so im totaly wanting to work on loosing alot of the belly and back fat.

i didnt push my deiting too much..just now got down to 150. but the past 2 week been hard hitting my diet, only 2 cans of pop a day (120 calories each) everone like stop drinking it. if i stop drinking it i know i wont continue to diet. so i consider it my desert lol. trying to exerscise more.

Just need a little help, a place to talk and all that. so that is why i am here.
sorr about the life history lol i get talky sometimes.

anyway feel free to ask me things.
i am curiouse about these diet and fit blogs though

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Welcome to 3FC, you'll get lots of support here!

I'm not going to recommend you totally give up the soda - everyone needs a treat. But I will caution that 240 calories is a big hunk out of your daily calories. You will really have to make every other calorie count. If you could cut it down to one pop a day, or cut your pop with seltzer (I'm not a huge soda drinker and actually prefer it half and half with a complementary seltzer flavor - half the calories, twice the fizz!). Might be worth trying.
There's a section for calorie counters and lots of folks there who can give excellent advice.

As for the blogs - fitday is like myplate and sparkpeople and is a place to track your daily calories. The 3fc blogs are wordpress blogs. I use mine to track progress and thoughts and recipes I've found i really like but everyone's blog is different.

Welcome again! You'll love it here.

Good Luck to you, I started last week and have received some good support. Having a bt of a hard tome today...I am this close to going out for ice cream. I am really motivated but old habits die hard. Wondering if I have some fear of actually achieving my goal, anyone ever experience that?

@chubby14 - i totaly experince that. im like omg i want some freaking burger king french fries which are my favs ..the way i do it is this...i tell myself if i wnt them i can have them. it takes away the need to get them. when i tell my self i cant have something i crave it. but if i tell myself i can have them it takes it away a little and im like nah i dont wanna get out and get them.

Hi Sandy....Welcome! I know it's hard but Hang in There! Make you some Baked Sweet Potato Fries they're Yummy! We have to find healthier substitues! I grilled Veggies & Shrimp for dinner it was Great! I had Bell Peppers, Onions, Zucchini, Squash, Mushrooms & Shrimp. Having a Ticker I think makes it more Fun too! You have to make 20 posts & I think be here 20 days to get one.....then you can track your progress. I'm doing a Daily Weigh In for May. I think that's helping me! Good Luck!
