Ahoy!

  • Hey everyone. My name is Lillia. My sister got me to join this site.

    I used to be thin, but then I started taking medication and total it has caused me to gain 130 lbs.

    I would like to lose 100 lbs, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Diet and exercise, yes! But not sure where to start.
  • Welcome <3 I love you sister.
  • Hey! Welcome to the site! Have a look over at the different forums and different plans and choose which one would work best for you or just implement your own!

    Good luck
  • Welcome to 3FC =)

    The start is always the most daunting. So many things to think about, and it seems a little overwhelming.

    Start at the beginning. 1 Step at a time. You don't need to change everything in a day.

    For example... what do you tend to drink when you're thirsty? Sodas or other high calorie drinks? You could always choose for a week to focus on getting in more water.

    How many fruits and vegetables do you eat in a day? At least 5 servings with most of them being vegetables? If not, try adding more in one meal at a time.

    Do you know how many calories you're taking in on a normal day/week? Try counting up all the calories that you're eating -- not even changing anything (yet), but counting them up to see just how many you're consuming normally.

    From any of those points you can start. You can begin to see a couple patterns, and you can get a better idea of what you'll need to change.

    We'd love to help and support you along the way.

    Hope to see you around the boards!
  • Good luck with your efforts!!
  • Welcome you just have to find what works for you & it may take some time & it's ok to try different diets Remember, you may fall of the wagon & that's ok just get back on it!
