Hi! Well this is a start, and the start that I need! I'm hoping that if I join a forum and actually talk about weightloss, I might actually get somewhere.... (Fingers crossed)! So my story.... I have basically just got fatter and fatter with every year I have been married, and especially since I've had children. But it's got to the point where I hate leaving the house because I just hate the way I look. And that's not healthy! It's time to do just do it. I've tried being healthy and exercising but I lack will power. I think I am the most weak willed person in the world! This time I have decided to try diet shakes, I'm doing optislim for (hopefully) two weeks and then I plan to eat small healthy portions. The diet shakes are good for me as I don't need to think about food, (but can still prepare for my kiddies). I will shake it for two meals and then healthy dinner for the last. Even though optislim says to replace all three, I don't feel that is right for me. Anyway I'm sure this is enough of an introduction.... (I could just keep going
So hello, and good luck to you all too!

Hi there and welcome! I'm old/new here. Restarting after a long time and I feel like you do, that I need to just start reading and receiving support. We've both come to the right place! Let's do this!

Welcome, and good luck with your plan!

Thank you your doing great, you've lost a bunch of weight already! Very inspiring :-) good luck to you too!

Hi Fifi! Believe me, posting and getting involved here is wonderful for keeping you on track! It's so effective, in fact, that whenever I leave, I slide back into bad habits and gain weight again! The people here are amazing, so keep posting! Also, think about joining a challenge if you haven't yet: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge-159/. The October challenge threads will be starting in just a few days. They are great for motivation and accountability! Good luck!
