New around here-introducing myself

  • Hello

    Not sure if its right place to post
    But yes, it must be because I have over 100 pounds to lose.
    So about me- i am 29, married, working mother of 4.
    I have been overweight my whole life and trying to lose weight half of it.

    I started 2 weeks ago, when I decided to check my weight after vacation and the number shocked me. I was over 250 lbs- 255 ! I know that with age it would be more and more difficult to lose and skin will not shrink back as easily.
    I am 29, turning 30 soon and it made me really think!
    I need to do this and I believe that this time I will succeed!
    Its day 12 and I have lost 11 lbs so far.
    My first goal is to lose 13 lbs by 1.September and I have 2 pounds to go
    I am not doing anything radical because I want changes I make to be for life.

    PS Sorry about spelling-english is not my first language

  • Awesome progress. Congrats.
  • Good job Yuki and welcome to the 3FC forums!
  • Thank you guys!
    Not feeling so great today- been eating a lot past 2 days- two parties in one weekend. Could not say no to food because of emotions- my babygirl is all grown up and goes to school now. It may sounds silly but I could not stop crying!

    kmruby1 we have very similar goals. When did you start and what is your plan?
