I just joined 3fc a couple of days ago, and have been "lurking". So, I guess It's about time I piped up to introduce myself.

I came here looking for a group of folks going through the challenges of wt. loss, and I am impressed so far. I had a gastric bypass 3 1/2 years ago, with a starting weight of 377# I got down to 200#, but wouldn't you know it, old habits and inactivity set in and I regained 47#. Now, I'm losing the weight the good old fashioned way---hard work through diet and exercise.

Glad to meet you and I hope to make friends in this journey.

Hi Alex!

Welcome to the board. You'll find lots of support here!

Congratulations on your weight loss so far! Keep up the good work!

Welcome! Taking control of your weight is an important step. One thing I have learned is that is important to stop weight gains as soon as possible and do something about them. Recognizing that is a big step.
