Hi everybody,

I just joined this forum in the hopes of meeting some like-minded people to talk with as I once again attempt to lose some weight. About a year and a half ago I was successful in losing about 35 pounds but lost my way and gained that back and more

However I'm pretty determined this time.......but boy it's hard getting started again. Jan 01 was the big day. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you. I've been taking a look around and some of you are posting some pretty impressive numbers. I hope I can follow your example!

Hey there Okpik!



We're all like-minded fellow travelers here. Just trying to take it slowly & lose weight permanently.

Please take your time & look around. There are many groups such as the 100lb Club for those of us with about 100 or more pounds to lose. Post wherever you're comfortable.

Best of success!

Okpik, welcome to 3FC! As Faerie said, we're all either losing it or trying to maintain it, so you'll find lots of support here.

Hi Okpik,



Just think to yourself, you have done it once so you know you can do it!
I hear you on getting started again, tomorrow I am starting up again, and back to exercising, my body won't know what hit it!

Good luck, if you need a buddy I am here to chat!

Stacey

Wow...thanks for all the support and kind words everybody. I really believe it helps a lot to have a support system. I joined an on-line forum when I quit smoking, which was Jan 01, 2007. It helped a whole lot.

Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome......here's hoping that at this time next year, we are mere shadows of our former selves!

well beginning again is a tough one.....because I've already lost these same pounds once already! However here's to round two. Hopefully I'll get it right this time.
