Joyce5069! Of course you can get help here. All you need to do is ask anyone! Heck, ask me if you have questions! I'll be more than happy to answer.

The only words of advice I can give you right off the bat are: everyone fears failure, but many have succeeded despite that fear. Take a look at all the maintainers we have here. Also, don't become disheartened just because you don't see instant results. I remember busting my butt (or maybe my gut? ) for two weeks and losing no weight. I was upset, but I kept on exercising and limiting my portions. Throughout the next month, I lost 15 pounds! Good things come to those who wait; if you are patient, you will be well rewarded.

Stay here and post often!

Hi Joyce! Welcome to 3FC. As you can tell from Shane's welcome, this is a wonderful and very supportive site. Good luck with your weight loss journey. You can do it!

Hey Shane! I just read a post from a very frustrated new 3FCer who is a type 1 diabetic. Maybe you have something you could say to give her hope? Glad to see you are still kicking butt - you look hot as ever!
