Hello everyone! My name is Maureen and I am so glad to have found this site. My sister and I have decided on a new way to eat - together - and I am very excited to give the BFC a try. I have done well in the past on Atkins, but have been having a hard time with it now. Not to mention that I have been craving the high fiber and potatoes....and since I can do that in BFC I am feeling pretty happy. The last year was a killer for me, and I am an emotional eater - so did a lot of hand to mouth...however nothing like getting caught in a picture to scare you into realizing something has to change.

So this time, I have my big sis and you all...I decided there is no need for me to go at this all alone (my standard strong woman syndrome - "I can do it myself"). While I really do want to lose weight for my daughter's wedding in Oct 2011, I mostly need to feel better, get off BP meds and generate some more energy.

So I look forward to our time together in the coming months....Thanks!!!

Welcome, glad to have you join us. 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.

As an emotional eater, I learned a lot from reading Dr Judith Beck's books and another book called 'Shrink Yourself' by Roger Gould.

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle
