Hi *wave* - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

NYRabbit · 01-25-2006, 04:15 PM

Hi there everyone

Ran across this site today. I'd seen it referenced in another forum I visit, but never came over til today. Looks really good...I likey.

So here's the scoop on me. I'm 29 but too close to 30 (it's 2 weeks away, ugh). Fact is, I didn't want to still be a fat chick at 30. But who does, I guess? Anyway...I'm married and have 2 kitties, Charlie & Emeril. So...the name of the 2nd cat, right, does that tell you something about my household? We have a total love/hate relationship with food...we hate that we love food so much!

I live in Queens, work in Manhattan. Food capital of the world, I swear. And all the while it's the food capital, it's also the appearances-are-everything capital of the world too. Quite the conundrum, let me tell ya.

We moved here a year and a half ago and it's been some trying times. I gained a lot of weight (on top of the weight I have already carried for years). Then in August my company got a discount with a local gym and I started going very religiously. I started at about 241 lbs., and am currently 218. My company also just put a WW group together, so I've been doing that for about 3 weeks or so. It's going pretty well so far...we'll see.

Would love to chat with people and just be support for someone and get some support in return.

Hope to meet lots of you!

Congratulations on your weight loss!! I'm also doing weight watchers and love it. You'll love this site. There are so many great people! Don't get discouraged if you don't get many responses. My sister and I signed up for a buddy and we didn't have much luck at first. But feel free to add to any threads. You will be welcomed wherever you go, I'm sure. If you need someone to vent to or to brag to, feel free to PM me. I'd be happy to give you some support!

Hey, thanks for the response. There are a LOT of members here it seems...the other forum I go to is a little more tight-knit, easier to get around in some ways. But there seems to be a lot of info here to dig into.

I'd love to chat WW sometime...I'll keep an eye out for you.
