Hello all,

I just stumbled across this forum while looking for some diet help and I am totally amazed that I didn't find it sooner. I may be new to this forum but I'm not new to dieting!

I gained 70 pounds with my first pregnancy and I haven't been able to lose it, and even managed to add to it over the last 8 years. I've tried lots of different methods and never really stuck to anything long term. I'm finally ready to stick to it for the long haul though, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know some new people.

Good luck to everyone out there, hope to get to know you soon!!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!! I hope you enjoy poking around these forums and that you find a place you love and it helps keep you motivated. It certainly helps me! You already sound like you have a great attitude and that will go a log way since half of this battle is mental.

P.S. Those dogs are adorable

Welcome Synderella!

I gained over 50 pounds with my first pregnancy 39 years ago. I'm proud of you for addressing this now. I roller coasted up another 100 pounds over the decades- so stick with it this time, save yourself from the physical reprecussions that will come with age and years of wear and tear.
You are blessed to have somewhere like 3FC to come for support. There is so much inspiration here and so many ways to lose-take your time & choose what is healthy for you-compatible with your life and beyond the food- exercise- address your emotional issues. That is the key I've found this time. OH! And have fun with it- Weight loss can be an exciting journey.
