This is my first day of the rest of my life. I am so tired of being FAT! I hurt most of the time and tire easily. My poor body is screaming for help and for years I've been deaf to what my body has been telling me. I know what I want, and I know how to get there but motivation has always been a major road block. I start off like a rocket from Cape Kennedy but I fizzle before long. I could sure use a buddy to share helps, ideas, and fun with. I live in rural Arkansas. The nearest city is 12 miles away and going to a weight loss group is out of the question with fuel prices. I'm 57 years old woman that feels like 30 inside but unable to do what I did at 30. I want to move like I used to. I like a challenge, but I need someone to challenge me. Would any of you like the job. All applicants accepted.

Hi... and welcome to 3FC. I'm a 41 year old mother of 2 who will soon be a semi-empty nester (kids in college)... I'm ramping up my exercise routine and doing what I can to listen to my body... as you say... its been screaming helpf for years!

Nice to meet you.

Hi to you all I am just starting AGAIN also. I have 120 lbs to lose. I know its going to be hard but I know I have to do it and I want it so bad not only for the physical aspects but the health issues. My body screams at me daily but I too did not listen. I know this site will be a godsend it is just awesome the support that other women can give. Ibegan the ww points plan last thursday and have lost 8 lbs (this is not unusual with me when I think about all the bads food choices I made) I have lost 85 lbs on a previous diet through low fat diet and much much cardio and strength training, not so easy this time it's 10 years later and I am 10 years older!!!!

Well I hope to here from some of you and I hope one day my story will help someone else out.

Debbie

Debbie, thanks so much for your reply. I'm so excited about losing weight and I'm hoping this site and members such as yourself will keep me motivated. I think it's awesome that 8 lbs so quickly. I am over 150lbs overweight but I'd settle for losing 100 lbs. I'll check out the wwpoints plan. Good luck.

LOL, 10 years older and 10 years later.....isn't it frustrating how much more difficult this journey is! At 31 I could lose weight just by saying I was going to lose weight. Now at 41 my body fights to keep every pound.

If you want to post some thing how do you go about it!

need help Thank'sJOHN

ps. and that whole list of thing's about you I click on it but won't let me type any thing in.

Hiya Norma!! So glad you found your way around. You know I'm cheering you on every step of the way. I hope you find you love this place as much as I do, you just can't beat the encouragement and support of fellow 3fc'ers.

Love and
Beverly

Thanks so much Bev for the words of encouragement. You are our hero and I hope I can benefit from 3fc as much as you have. I was just downloading the weight progress charts and noticed I had email. Check this site for how I'm doing. If I'm not progressing as I should you can thrash me.
Love Norma
