An introduction
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I love 3FC! The support here helped me lose 25 pounds a year ago using South Beach. However, as soon as I stopped following, I gained most of the weight back. Each time I restart, I get bored or discouraged. Most recently, I spent 5 weeks eating well on SB and exercising 5x per week at an hour each time and I only lost 3 pounds. Very discouraging. So, what did I do? I quit. So, after 2 weeks of doing nothing I regained the 3 lbs I most recently lost, putting me right back where I was on New Year's day. While SB worked wonderfully for me a year ago, I must acknowledge that it is not working for me longterm, as evidenced by my regain.
So, in hopes of finding a plan I can work with permanently, I joined WW online this morning. I am a bit nervous because I am afraid my daily points will leave me above my calorie level and prevent me from losing. However, I am willing to try it, as I have found in the past that I sometimes go too low with my cals and stop losing. I just want to be healthier and develop more positive associations with food so that I no longer look at each day as a battle where I have an all-or-nothing mentality. And this time, I don't want to regain everything I work so hard to lose (like I did with SB). So hello, and I'm sure you will be hearing more from me!
