Hi all - I'm ready to get back on the bandwagon. In the last two years, I lost two of my best friends within 20 days (so what happened to the other 600+?) when my grandparents both passed away.

I feel like I've been eating since then. I'm slowly but surely trying to make better decisions (does drinking liquor or wine and not beer count as a better decision?) and just today my ripped brother (or, who at least has been ripped his whole life) realized he can grab flab on his body. We're going on a 20 pound challenge...and I'm one of those people who needs all the support they can get.

So, here's to 20 pounds...or fitting back in those silly jeans I wore two years ago!

Cheers

L

and to 3FC's

Hello, welcome to 3fc! I'm sorry about your losses...I read somewhere that the best time to change your life or to beat habits is when life is tough, because then you know even on the most difficult day you can stick to the game and not give in.

Best of luck !

After reading you post I just had to drop a line also. This is my first day here, I lost my brother in-law last week and with his passing I knew life is too short to be this fat. I feel I have the Perfect Life if I could just get my weight under control. Wish me Luck, I'm going to need it!
