Default WOW ! Whole Year and counting!!

Good morning ladies.
It's official...today I have been a member of 3FC and counting calories for a year. I was home for Christmas in 2009 and stepped on my mother's digital scale and it read Er. After a couple attempts I figured it must need batteries or it was broken. I joined 3FC and found out I weighed more than the scale measured. So I decided not to step on another scale. I checked while I was visiting for Christmas and the max for the scale is 300lbs. Well a year later I am still with it. I was a size 24 when I started and I'm now a size 14. I think it has been an awesome journey and will continue to be a great one. I would like to thank you ladies and gents for being here for me because I'm sure if I didn't have this forum to come to EVERYDAY...I would have quit after the first couple days when my head was hurting from not consuming 4000-5000 calories a day. When I first started I thought I may have been eating around 2000 calories but nothing could have been further from the truth.

I feel great and will meet my goal this year. If you are reading this and you are new to 3FC...come here often the information and experience on this site is fantastic. It will help you get through the hard places and you will make friends that you will never want to live without!!

congrats on your loss over the past year! I have been at it since Oct. I am only down one size so far but I think another one will come soon. It seems that my midsextion is going to be the last place to show it. Come off, inches!

You are awesome, Jiggle!!

Today marks my 1 year anniversary since I started my journey. Since I'm not weighing in until Friday, I'm not sure exactly where I am (I think I did some damage over Christmas break)...but no matter what I can say I lost 80 lbs in 2010!

Like you, 3FC has been a huge part of my success thus far. Thank you, Jiggle for your support along the way and thanks also to everyone else...especially the CC challengers!!

Hi Jiggle, it's your old friend Suz! Yesterday was my 3FC anniversary and I've been terrible the last several months about checking in.

I'm sooo proud of you for sticking in there so well. I'm just going to pick myself up, brush myself off and start over again.

I'm still in my size 10 Old Navy jeans from the summer, but they're getting uncomfortable. I haven't gotten on the scale since right before Thanksgiving, but I know I've gained back about 10 pounds - at least.

My whole family has been sick the last week and I'm starting to feel human again. So I'm recommitting.

I am so excited to see this post from you. You're my inspiration!!
