Default Introduction to my desperate effort
Hello! I wanted to reach out for additional support and who better than those who understand.

I am AJ. I live in Denver and I am on day 3 of slim4life. I am already struggling and I have failed more times than succeeded so any and all advice/support/friends I can get would be like a total gift.

I have hit an all high weight this year @ 27. I am at 175+ and I just can't watch the scale go up anymore. I am married and want to have a baby in the next few years but I need to be a lot healthier to conceive. I also just feel terrible. I am depressed, no energy and I have 0 motivation for anything other than my bed and my dogs.

I have never reached out for support before so I am hoping that this is what makes a difference for me.

Hi AJ and welcome to 3FC!

I have never heard of slim4life but I will tell you that you have come to the right place for support and motivation. This site is full of that and much more.

Stay strong, believe in yourself and know that you can do this.

Hugs
Michelle

Default Thank you so much!
I really look forward to speaking with you and others with any and all advice and knowledge to give! I am like a sponge.

S4L is a high protien, low carb, low cal no salt and natural sugar only plan that teaches you to eat real food. I am currently starving @ day 3 but I think most of it is in my head.

As already stated, you've come to the best place for support. Keep looking around, I'm sure someone is or has been on the same plan you're on. Wishing you the best!
