Hello there. I have been reading posts here and this seems like a really good group of people. I look forward to learning, sharing and shrinking with you all.

I am so tired of being fat. I have been quite overweight for twenty years and I am tired of the excuses, the denial, the shame. Tired of not buying or wearing the clothes i like, but just what fits. Tired of settling on looking like this.

I have lost ~40 lbs on a few occassions before but it always seems to creep up. I am too old to be like this, but I need advice, suggestions, support. I told myself at new years that if I hadn't managed to start a diet by March I would join a system, and so have just received the nutrisystem delivery - I know all of the reasons why this is not real eating, but I needed a way to break out of this rut.

Anyway, I am eager to learn how the 3 fat chicks site works and welcome any suggestions.

Good luck with your goals! I'd suggest finding a group that you feel comfortable with here and join right in on the discussions - you'll get support and provide it, as well.

Haggis--- Reading that you're "...tired of the excuses," means you'd fit in with our group... "Sarge's No Excuse/Boot Camp to Beach weather..." New "privates" are always welcome. Just make fictitious Sarge a pledge on Sundays, how many pounds you WILL lose the following week, and then DO IT! Plenty of support throughout the week in a fun, kind of kick in the pants sort of way. Find us here:

Good luck on your journey!
