Default New to 3FC and excited
Hello,
This is all new to me(the forum part). I am excited and looking forward to having new friends with common goals and interests. I am 37 years old and overweight. I am overweight because I like to eat and hate to exercise. My family is very busy and I eat on the go alot. I eat at the football field, the baseball field, wrestling matches, and horse jumping events. I also eat late in the evening when I do cook at home. This adds up to alot of hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries, nachos, and soft drinks. I don't need a TV Psychologist to tell me that this is not what I need to be doing (my husband can do this very well and I take his advice defensively). Oh well, I have alot of work to do but I am excited about getting to my goal weight of 145.

Hey Riffs, and

I love to eat too...but luckily, with some planning, you can still eat foods you like, and even eat them on the go, without blowing your plan. You just have to figure out healthy, on-plan foods you can carry with you, even if it means having a cooler with yogurts in your car, or a protein bar in your purse at all times.

You may want to visit the 30-somethings forum. We also have forums by eating plan, so find a spot.

You can definitely do this...can't wait to get to know you better. Stick around!

Hey Alisluv,
It is good to hear from a fellow Carolina girl. I too am in education (More at Four Teacher). I already feel like I can accomplish my goals with new friends like you.

You are not alone.
Even initial small changes in your lifestyle can make a big difference. Best wishes!

You definitely can accomplish your goals, Riffs! The support and advice here is incredible- I've never really been successful losing weight before THIS time, and I credit it to having inspirational stories and pics to help me!

I'm not sure where Forest City is - I'm basically in Burlington. And another educator - yehhhh US!!

Keep posting and checking here and good luck with your journey!
