Hello, and pleased to "meet" you!

I'm not sure exactly where to post, but here I am! My name is Anne, I'm in my late 20's, and I've got about 85lbs I want to lose. I've clicked around on the forum (mainly in the success stories area) for inspiration, and I've got to say.. what you all are doing here is amazing. I feel like I could really benefit from the tips and support you all provide, and so I joined up. I want one of those weight ticker thingies to put in my siggy. How does one go about getting that?

Looking forward to getting to know you good folks.

Hi Anne! I'm new here too and you put my thoughts into words perfectly! It IS amazing to see all the goal pics. I want to be able to post my own someday! I'm trying to lose about the same amount of weight that you mentioned. Do you have a specific diet and/or workout that you're using? Wish you lots of success!

Hi Bones and welcome to the 3FC. You have found a great place. Come often and find all the support and answers you can--there is lots of both here! Most importantly, decide your method and stick with it. You can do this.

Heya, Mrs. ArmyWife thank you for the warm welcome!!

I started the Body For Life program about a year ago and had some success with it... then I got dumped and gave up. But the program itself is all on the website, Bodyforlife[dot]com. They give you nutrition advice, meal plan suggestions, tools (like BMI calculators, body fat calculators, etc), and an exercise program that you follow six days per week. It alternates between high intensity cardio workouts and weight training, and it walks you through everything step-by-step.

What methods are you using? I could really use all the help I can get!

Thank you again, and I also wish you success!!

Thank you, TBG (and everyone else)! I need to print off that last sentence and put it where I can see it everyday.

I think you have to have a certain number (20??) of posts first or something like that... but that won't take you long once you get started conversing with people.

Yeah, they said 20, I'm excited to get started! I saw some cool ones on the ticker factory website, too. I almost don't know where to begin.
