I've been reading and lurking around on 3FC for a long time now, so I decided to finally make an account and join the fun.
Many of your journeys have inspired me to be a healthier and happier person. Today is day 25 of my journey and I hope to one day inspire others as well.
Hi LiN!
I think we all were lurkers before we joined - congrats on your success so far - sounds like you're off to a good start - the support you need is here!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help through the ups and downs.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
