Red face 150 lbs to go!!!
Hello All! I'm going to use this carrot dude right now because it just looks too fun not to!

OK with that out of the way... HI I am new here, and still learning the ins and outs so bare with me... but My name is Fawks and I've got 150 lbs left to get to my ultimate goal! (Already down 20 WOOT)

I started with the Ottawa Hospital Weight Management clinic 5 weeks ago (This Tuesday will be the start of my 6th week) and am on the shake diet... it's like non-surgical gastric bypass in a way. In the last 5 weeks I've come down from 355 to 327 and counting. To say it's been a rough road would be an understatement. But I'm getting there, plugging away one day at a time.

I miss food....
OMG do I ever... but I can't hate the results!

I think when this is done, I won't want to see a chocolate milk or a shake for a VERY long time (my two options are Vanilla, or Chocolate.. Vanilla tastes like cake batter.. and chocolate tastes like chocolate milk... both very yummy.... but Holy Hannah I miss cheese and vegetables and things that aren't SWEET) haha.

Anyway. I have no idea what to write in these things.. but HI I can't wait to get to know everyone

Hello Fawks!

I've got at least 150 to go myself, so I'm in the same boat.

Congrats on your success so far and welcome to 3FC!

Hey all Thanks for the warm welcomes And Kscott yeah I'm pretty excited about not having to go the surgery route. I've tried everything in the past and this is really working for me

Fawks- what an amazing start you are having! Congrats on being down 20lbs, that is awesome! I love your avatar and can't help but think it is intuitive to your personality, excited and ready for your journey.

P.S. I love the carrot icon too!!!! I believe there are other icons that dance like that as well!
