Default New to 3FC. 300+ seems the place to start!

Hi everyone. I am new here and wanted to say hi. I am 32, I weigh 344 pounds and can't believe I am saying that. Not only is it something I share with no one (I always pretend I look like I weigh less, lol), but I can't believe I weigh this much! I have a long way to go, but know I didn't get here over night and want to lose the weight in a healthy way!

Hi ablentlinger,
Welcome to 3FC. Congratulations on taking the first step of many to taking control of your health. When you get a chance check out the POSITIVE UPLIFTING NOTIFICATION: ONE Positive thing about me today is......PART NINE.
It's located her in the 300+ section. It's a great place to come for support and motivation and we love to hear people tooting there own horn. We want to hear about anything positive, weather it be weight loss, looser fitting clothes or just a great day at work, it doesn't matter, we want to hear about it. Good luck on your journey and I look forward to getting to know you better.

I made a post similar to this post almost 8 months ago and today I posted that I finally lost 100 pounds. I am living proof you can do this! This has been a fabulous place to find support and ideas while on your weight loss journey! Thanks for sharing with us.

Kristi - that's amazing!!! 100lbs in 8 months, very inspiring!

We can all do this if we keep pushing each other and being here for support. Not only is being over 300lbs a physical journey to overcome, it's also emotional.

Congratulations baby on finding your way home. This is the best place to be, the 300+ community is full of wonderful, supportive people who'll give you a shoulder to cry on or a kick in the pants, depending of course on which one you need.
Please join our exercise thread, it's a great way to stay motivated!
I look forward to getting to know you.
take care
All my love,
Faith
