Hi there! Name is Nora, 22 years old living in Southern California and I started a weight loss journey two years ago where I lost 40 pounds in 6 months on Nutrisystem. I then met a boy, started eating out, hanging out with him instead of the gym and gained all but 10 of those pounds back.. I started up earlier this month Dec and already lost 10 pounds :0) Decided I should come back to my roots here at 3FC and help and get help with all the support of the amazing people here :0)
Hi Nora!
So many of us have lost only to gain it back (& more) -Sounds like you're back on track and doing great -no looking back, just moving forward -the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you back with us! As you know, there are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a great additional to any of them. I like all the info and first hand advice to help get through the ups and downs. The 20 somethings forum might be of interest to you as well.
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!
Hello from SoCal
Happy Holidays!
