Welcome to 3FC =)
You're in luck! Even though it's called "3FC on a diet" I don't see many members encouraging "diets".
Diets are ... restrictive, short-term, if you stumble you might as well give up, unsustainable for real life, get burnt out within a month. The list goes on and on.
The changes most members make around here are permanent. Lifestyle changes.
Okay, it might seem like a silly thing to say "it's not a diet it's a lifestyle change", but it's an important silly thing.
A diet has an end date.
A lifestyle change continues for the rest of our lives.
A diet is restrictive and makes us feel deprived.
A lifestyle change incorporates the things we want while teaching us moderation.
A diet has us thinking we fail when we make a mistake. We have to be "perfect" on a diet.
A lifestyle change allows us to pick ourselves up from a stumble and to make a better choice the very next meal.
You don't have to plunge into a bunch of changes the first week. You can take it one step at a time. Changing one thing each week until a few months down the line you're looking at food and activity in an entirely new light.
Commit to something the first week. And then follow through.
You can do this!
). I hope that with the support I get from all of you online and the help from my DH, I will be able to get some of this weight off and hopefully finally reach my weight loss goals!
I hope you will love this forum as much as I do! 
Keep reading, keep posting, keep doing what works!
