Hi everyone! I am new here and haven't found my way around yet. I'm taking my first steps (for what feels like the hundredth time) at weight loss and self control, and I know I can't do it alone. I am looking for a friend to provide moral support and a good swift kick when needed (lol)! I have used the old WW plan in the past and am toying with using it again....any opinions? I find I am an evening eater and sugar, cheese, and carbs are my most desired eats (in that order...LOL). HELP!!
Welcome! You'll definitely feel the love and support here! I've been here officially for a week and I've been lurking for a while. I'd be glad to offer you support and a "swift kick in the backside" (we all need one at times!).
Hi!! I know how you feel. I have said I am going to start this a million times. I joined 3FC last year and did good, until I quit smoking and then I gained 40-50 pounds. It's hard and I feel like I am back on track, this site is very motivating and encouraging. Even when I was not actively trying to lose I would come here for support. I am sure you will do well with your journey, and there are plenty of resources on the site. Good Luck!!!
I live in NE Ohio and have the same eating patterns as you stated. I tend to eat later at night and not so healthy choices.
Maybe we can be support and accountability buddies?
My favorite new trick is each week I put 4 goals for the week on paper and mark if I did it each day.
This week was:
Lose 1.5#
Spend at least 60 minutes exercising
Eat 4 servings of fruit/veggies a day
No eating after 8pm
It is nice to know I am doing someting "right" and those little check marks help me stay the course.
I can definitely relate to you!
I have a serious problem with nighttime eating...mostly because my husband comes home and is absolutely famished!
I also understand the need for motivation. I always "fall off the wagon" when I try a new program. I am also looking to retry WW, but i'm not a big fan of the new program. I think I have everything I need to lose weight, but I just don't utilize it! Good luck with everything! If you need a buddy, trust me, I'm here! I need one just as much!

Hi Sarrah I love the idea of setting mini goals and would love a buddy. I think I too will start setting those goals. Thanks!

Hi Stephanie...This will be our last time saying here I go again. I will keep you going and you can return the favor. I tend to get discouraged when I don't see rapid loss for what feels like my suffering. I don't like to feel focused on food...know what I mean? Looking forward to losing with you.
