Hi. I'm new here. I'm joining primarily to focus on increasing my physical activity, but also for support in general for this healthy lifestyle change I am making.

After almost 6 years of single motherhood, I found myself at over 300 pounds, 3 months after a broken ankle. I just turned 35 and expect to have many years ahead of me, and I want this body to be a pleasant place to reside for all those years to come. So it's time to put myself first now. Here I am.

I'm a homeschooling mom to 3 kids (ages 10,8,and 6), a full-time graduate student (counseling), the head honcho of a nonprofit cat rescue, and a work-at-home writer. I love reading and movies and meditation, and am looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Welcome. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.

Thanks for the tip. I've decided to peek in on 100+, 300lb+, 30-somethings, Alternachicks, and Exercise for a week or two, and then decide where I want to land.

Hello and welcome to 3FC. Good luck to you in your journey and in reaching all your goals.

to 3FC!
Hugs, Support, & Encouragement on your weight loss journey

Welcome and good luck!
