Hi everyone it's Eleanor. No, that's not my real name, but I do plan to post some before & after pictures of my body, and I would like to stay as anon as possible.

Some basic facts:
I'm 15
I'm 5'5
200 lbs (OH MY GOD)
My goal is to be 160 lbs by September 1st, 2009
My ultimate goal is to be 120 lbs [hopefully] by January 1st, 2010
I want to be fit & toned
I want to lose weight and get fit in a healthy way!

This is my first real attempt at weight loss. Fortunately I never yo-yo dieted (which I hear is extremely bad for your health...not that being obese is great for the heart). This is my last attempt as well. Because I'll keep it off.

I hope to become an active member of the 3 Fat Chicks community!

I am new too! This unfortunately, is not my first attempt. But, the important thing is I am trying again (right?) Yes, yo-yo dieting is bad! Good job taking this first big step

Hi Eleanor and

I'm a newbie here, too. I am making new friends and curbing my old eating habits.

Best wishes and I hope to see you posting.

Hi Eleanor! I'm 19 (almost 20), and I've never yo-yo dieted either. I lost 15 pounds once by accident (and obviously gained it back) but I don't count that since I wasn't trying to lose or maintain the loss. This is the first time I have ever tried to lose weight, and I'm determined to make it my last as well. Best of luck here at 3FC.
