I was very happy to find this forum. Forums is what helped me quit smoking over 4 years ago,and are a great source of support and information. I have been a yo-yo dieter most of my life. This journey has been difficult for me. This time last year,I was wearing a size 8,and am now wearing a size 16,a year later. I had lost over 50 lbs.,5 years ago,and kept it off over 5 years. I never thought I would be in this boat again.I went through a long period of depression,which led to emotional eating and inactivity. I joined WW with a friend and have lost 14 lbs. in 5 weeks. I want to lose 40 more. Seems more difficult,as I am older. But,and very determined. Great to be here!

Glad you have joined this forum. 3FC is a great place of wonderful people who are always encouraging and you can always find things that you can relate too.

May the journey to your best health be full of NOT too many bumps!

You did it before, you can do it again and hopefully put to use what you learned about triggers so you don't regain again.

And from a former Iowa gal (born and raised there), Hello!

Welcome!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!!
