Cali Doll introduced me to this site.
To misquote radio callers - I'm new here, but not new to weight loss. I've been on this journey since 2008 and I'm nearing (knock wood) the end. I decided to join up here to get the inspiration and motivation to finish strong (and stay strong as I know I'll never really be finished) - and, hopefully, to pay that support back in kind.

Yay!!! I'm so glad you are here! :-)

OK, I can't help but chuckle at the fact that you are the one who took my profile picture. LOL!

Welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Welcome and good luck!! How much more do you have to lose?

Thanks Michelle!

Thanks! For my ideal goal: 21. I'm going to see how I feel in about 10-15, though.

Hi olirey! (Thanks Cali Doll for bringing her!)
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.


So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

Hi Olirey.

I'm only new too. I joined this week and I'm sure you'll find plenty of support and motivation here. I know I have in just the few days since I joined.

Thanks guys! I've already learned a lot and felt inspired just by looking around. I look forward to joining in and learning more.
