Cool New to 3FC!
Hey everybody,

I stumbled upon 3FC through google. I decided to check it out because the title "three fat chicks" had caught my interest. Once I started reading some of the amazing accomplishments by the members here, I couldn't help but sign up.

I'm a 19 year old canadian male who has tried numerous times before to lose my desired weight, I would go intensely for 2 or 3 weeks at a time, losing 20-30lb, but then falling off the wagon and gaining back an extra 10 each time.

I am 6ft2 and at a terrifying 290lb. I decided to finally start working towards a healthier lifestyle starting today. Based on the quote by Benjamin Franklin:

"Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today"

Cheers,

Canuck

Welcome. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.

Welcome, and a Canadian to boot! Glad you came, I agree with finding a smaller group of folks on here and settle in. It's a wild ride but you're right, today is the day whether we take action or not.
