Hello everyone My name is jaclyn, and im horrible with anything grammer, so if my post are hard to read im so sorry. I can't spell and i put comma where they don;t need to be lol. anywho... I'm 22 and 186 pounds, and now ya'll are the only ones who know that not even my boyfriend knows lol. I would love to be 120 pounds or the equivelent of a size 3, and i'm finally ready to start towards my goal after two years of putting it off. it doesnt help either that my boyfriend is 6 foot tall, weights 155 and has a six pack. lol that should be all the motivation i need right? but here i was procrastinateing for 2 years. BUT THAT IS OVER AND DONE! i found you guys and yal are so motivational, i think that haveing yal as a support group is what is going to get me to my goal! you guys rock i've been reading your storys for about a month and i finally have the courage to join yal i hope we can all motivate eachother along the way! thanks for listening to me ramble on lol

Hi Jaclyn...

I know what you mean about not wanting people to know your weight... especially your boyfriend... mine doesn't know how much I weigh... he says stuff like... well you don't weigh more than me... and I think... are you having a laugh?? I know I weigh more than him. I really don't want to so here I am, sat typing to you, feeling ever so hungry... but I've had breakfast and lunch... just no snacking in between and that's what my body is missing... anyway, I figure that if my stomach is craving food and I don't feed it, it will start to burn the fat instead. Im not sure what a size 3 would be in the UK... I'd be more than happy if I could get down to 126 lbs (9 stone) and wear UK size 10 clothes... in fact I'd be over the moon!

Anyway, I'm rambling (probably because I'm trying to ignore my rumbly tummy) Good luck with your weight loss! Do you have goal of when you want to achieve it by? I'm aiming for Christmas.

Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.

Maybe you and BF can workout/exercise/be active together. If he is active and takes care of himself, I'm sure he would be more than willing to help you with a plan.

Thanks jabba for the advice i know what you mean about thinking about food, im horrible about thinking about dinner while im eating lunch my new motto is water, water and more water lol i notice the more water i drink the less i crave anything. my long term goal would be to lose the weight bynew years so that my new years resolution can be to start p90x and get in shape

pwp thanks for the advice, but if i was to work out with my boyfriend he would probably kill me lol he doesnt have an ounce of fat on his body and im not exagerating its all i can do to walk on my tredmill for an hour and he can do one arm pull ups lol makes my arms hurt thinking about it lol

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Welcome & Good Luck!
