Default Hi Everyone!

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am 23 years old. I weigh 350lbs and I hate it! I used to be embarrassed to tell anyone my weight, even when I was my lowest, but I'm not anymore. I am learning that to fix my problems I have to actually acknowledge that I have them. I also suffer from the disease of Multiple Sclerosis which is a big part of why I am so heavy now. Anyway I am really glad I found this site and I hope to find some real true friends on here who understand what I am going through as i start to really take back my life and keep it this time!!

Hi Amanda,

Welcome to 3FC - Im not new here, but recently joined again after getting up to 350lbs and decided to do something about it before the scale hits 400 and then 500 or 600. I can so easily see that happening and that's a pretty scary thought.

The ladies and gents here are WONDERFUL! Theyve made me feel that Im not alone in this battle and that it CAN be won! So many here are an inspiration.

Hi! Amanda. I'm pretty new here myself...just started a week ago. It's really nice here to be able to talk about stuff that you might to embarrassed to talk about with your friends and family. The people here have a lot of good tips and advice. Or an ear for listening if you just need to vent. Welcome to the site...and Good Luck on your journey!
