Hi! I am new here too and wanted to say hi to everyone and tell you all how glad I am that I found this site! I am so excited ! I just started WW on monday and have already lost 3 pounds. I must admit that the change in eating habits is a bit of a test for me, well a huge test for me, lol, but I am ready to lose this weight. I wish you all the best and I hope to meet all kinds of people. God bless !

Welcome to 3FC! Congratulations on a great start! Just think of good you are going to feel eating healthy stuff, and losing!

Your user name caught my eye. I grew up outside of Chicago and we lived on Wenonah Ave!

Hi Wenonah and welcome to 3FC!!! Congrats on your weight loss!!

Hey Wenonah, Welcome!!! You should hop on over to some of the ww threads. I do ww too.The ladies over there are awesome!!! Good for you for losing 3 lbs.!!!!!! Keep up the great work and hope to talk to ya soon!!

Well you are all so sweet! Thanks so much for the warm welcomes! Abbeycat, your name really caught my eye because I named my 7 month old daughter Abbey. Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the good work!

Monet, I like your name to because I am a decorative artist and I love love love art. I believe anyone who is trying to lose weight should definately study color theory because if we all understood the effects that color have on our way of thinking then we would all realize which colors trigger our want to eat, etc. As for my name, how cool! Was it spelled that way too? I have only seen 2 other people other than my greatgrandmother who I am named after spell it the way she and I do. There is such an interesting history to the name as well, it is from a North American Sioux Chief's daughter. Anyway, I am rambling. I hated the name growing up but now I wear it proudly. Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the good work. I am so proud of any of us with the will to better ourselves! It is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do but it feels so good to actually do it.

Hi ssgtswife! Thanks for the warm welcome and congrats on such a wonderful weight loss ! That is just awesome! I bet you feel great! Keep up the good work!

Hello to you too pacemom! I have been looking at the boards and am definately coming on over. I think for me ww is the only way to go. I have tried South Beach and Atkins and I just cannot do it. I have been on so many diets that I think I have done myself more harm than good. I will certainly see you over there though. Way to go on such a great weight loss and keep up the good work! How long have you been doing ww and do you do flex or core? I am on flex because I am sure that I would binge on core. I do binge on flex but I have actually made myself binge on veggies and I actually like it, go figure, lol. See you over there.

Take care everyone, thanks for all of the warm welcomes, and God bless!

Yes, it was spelled the same way. Wenonah was Hiawatha's mother... I too love art. That is why I chose Monet. I teach art, and draw, paint and dabble with whatever I can get my hands on. Recently, my tool of choice has been oil pastels. FUN!
