Ever since I joined 3FC, I just read everything I see and post wherever speaks to me. I could fit into so many groups, since I am 23, WAS over 300 lbs. (won't be tomorrow when I weigh), and have over a hundred lbs to lose. So that gave me the right to fit in and be in all different crowds. But at the same time, I see some of the bonds you guys have developed (and in other support groups) and am slightly jealous. So I would like to try to stay in one place more and hopefully develop a bond with some of you guys!
A little history: I have been at this since December 9, 2008 and have lost 50 lbs exactly. I just graduated college in December and have a pretty good job as a tax accountant for aircraft owners. I am engaged to my perfect guy and have been since last May and we will probably elope somewhere this summer since I don't want to plan a wedding. Ummm...that's about it. I look forward to getting to know you guys!
welcome tifftiff! glad to have you!!! what sort of food/exercise plan have you been doing? sounds like you are doing awesome so far!
I am counting calories. I aim for 1200 and actually achieve anywhere from 800 to 1800 calories a day. I work out at a minimum of 4 days a week. Of course there have been weeks I haven't gotten any in, but I get it in most of the time. I do lots of cardio, usually an hour each trip to the gym on the elliptical or treadmill. We just started a weight training circuit at the gym which we will be doing 3 times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Man, my arms are sore from that!
I also forgot to mention that my fiance was doing this with me and he has lost a whopping 90 lbs so far!
I feel the same way here - that I can fit into so many groups, and just kind of hop around, but dont have a real bond with anyone here yet - and I think that is so helpful.
Anyway, glad to see you here, and hope you have continued success!
Welcome! I'm new here too and looking to bond as well. Sounds like you are off to a great start on your weight loss journey. Keep it up!
Welcome Tiff and CONGRATS on what you have achieved so far.... That is wonderful... Tell your Fiance i said CONGRATS to him as well for losing the 90 pounds.. You are both on the right path and i wish you much success and happiness along your journey.. if you ever need someone to chat with PM me and we can keep on track together.

Sounds like you are doing great! Keep up the good work! I also just recently started posting here since I noticed a similar thing about these forums. Welcome!
