Sensitive from Georgia new to 3FC.
Hello 3FC.com, My name is Chloe and today I decided to register here at 3FC.com because the forums looks like a place I can get some serious support unlike other forums I've been to that seem to be more intersted in gossip about one another instead of focus on weightloss and supporting each other through that journey of weightloss.
In the past I've lost up to 100 pounds before and went from a size 18 to a size 6 and kept the weight off for 7 years, I gained that weight when I was in an accident and hurt my back and had to go through rehab and taking medication for what seemed like a very long time that made me go from 110 pound to 220 in 3 months while I was in my teens.
So when I lost the weight and kept it off for so long I never thought I'd put it back on, but over the past 2 years I gained my weight back as a result to my father having a heart attack, my mother being ill and my fiance leaving me for an older married women, the breakup and the heart attack happened all in 1 week, I was crushed and felt like I had not eaten in almost a decade.
My Dad survived and is healthy in weight and eats well and as far as my Mother we are doing everything we can to look into helping her with her weightloss as it has been difficult because she is confined to a wheelchair and weighs 350 pounds and has a vascular problem with her legs that causes her moderate to intense pain everyday. I'm taking her to see her doctor for regular check ups, making sure she eats right and she is going to be seeing a doctor soon about her vascular problems to treat her wounds and her pain, funny thing is mom has low cholesterol and her blood pressure is great but dad is the skinny one and is the complete oppisite.
My mom has lost over 70 pounds in 4 years and as for myself going through all I have been through in the past 2 and a half years being bummed out I found my oldskool friends Ice cream and chocolate and their buddies the carbs and let's not forget Miss. Sugar and Mr. Soda Pop...(lol) I didn't really notice my weight gain till I couldn't figure out why I felt like crap everyday and then I realized I'm not fitting into my wardrobe and decided I had to make a change that would allow me to not feel like I haven't eaten in almost a decade but give myself back the body I had before my Ex left me because to be quit honest life is looking up for me and I'm no longer jaded by all the horror of a possible death, sickness and a breakup can do to one person in such a small amount of time.
I started working out little by little in July at the time I weighed 240 pounds
and I had not seen a stepmaster or a pair of sneakers in 2 years and at the end of August I felt better and went to a weight loss clinic and have been taking lipo B injections once a week, viamins, counting every calorie, and watching what I eat.
No Sugar, No Wheat, No fried foods, No Soda, and I have been doing 45 minutes of strength training and 30 min of cardio for 30 min 3 times a week and lost 8 pounds, I think this month I'm going to step it up to 4 times a week and hopefully I will shed off more then 8 pounds by Novemeber. thanks for taking the time to read this sorry it's a bit long I know. Looking forward to meeting you all have a great day and thanks for all the inspirational threads I've read today on the forums.
