Forgive my ignorance, but what is a PM, and how do I PM riestrella to get the new url? I'm very new to 3fatchicks.com

[kimmyskelter]

pm means private message and gurrl ur as new as i am. newbies have verry limited access to stuff like tickers, pm and other stuff. we just have to sit tight till riestrella replies i guess! can i add u on my buddy list?

[Riestrella]

I will be forwarding the names of members who cannot PM to a moderator and she will PM you with her super moderator powahs. So sit tight, the link will be on its way to already participating newbies!

Down 2.2lbs this week

[philana]

nice job supergirl! keep at it

I don't wanna weigh anytime soon. I am gonna work myself silly for a few days first. If there's barely a loss while I've been on plan for a week I am gonna get a bit annoyed so better not weigh. Hihi

[MusicalAstronaut]

Hah! 183.4! Take that, TOM. :P

[kimmyskelter]

[kimmyskelter]

Jelbb: I hope you DO give Zumba a try. I'd say to wear sneakers & a sports bra and bring water We have older plus-size women in our belly dance class and they move more comfortably than us younger ones! You don't HAVE to bare your belly either- it helps to see if you're moving correctly, but you can wear a tank top or fitted shirt. You should get a coin scarf though- those are fun

Riestrella: I also wanted to say THANK YOU for all you're doing on this challenge and I'm sorry for those who try to mess up your hard work. Its a great thing you've done here.. bringing together women with a common goal, so we can encourage each other through it.. also making it fun and adding the accountability, so we'll stick with it. Just wanted to say WE APPRECIATE YOU

I need to PM Riestrella for the new link.. Can someone mark me down for today? Weigh-in for Ferretgirl on 1/22 is 123.5 lbs (THANKS!)

[aka8941]

not sure if we are supposed to post our weights or not.

198 for me!

[Buutastic]

Riestrella: We <3 you!!! Sorry about the drama, but you've handled it beautifully!!

I need to be on here more often, lol!

Hopeful I'll be below 160 for my weigh in on Wednesday!!

girls, I have to tell you all (with pride!) that I've finally taken some steps forward in getting over my eating disorder. I've managed being pill-free for exactly 2 weeks, to I wasnt binge free. honestly, I still miss my pills and the feeling they gave me, but I'm developing a new feeling of self-value at the same time.
I must say this spreadsheet makes me review my week every week because of the weigh-ins. I'm not doing great yet, but I'm having a really good on-plan day today and I just wanted to share.

[Samantha Daisy]

Have any of you girls done Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred? I'm curious to know if anyone has done it for the whole 30 days and had good results (in addition to following a good eating plan). I have the dvd and am going to start in on monday. I'll let everyone know how it goes!

[Quiet Ballerina]

aleksandra congratulations! that is a huge accomplishment.

Samantha I haven't tried that. I think I have the DVD...but it wasn't for me. Good luck though!

cross posting some of this between here & Jan chat:
my weekend wasn't super productive (although it is only about 3:15pm, there's still time for some things...lol) but it's okay. I really wanted a lazy, lounge around the apt weekend. It was perfect weather for it. Cold and icy.

Blah that I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Has anyone else seen previews for the movie "The Vow"? Ohmygosh. I want to go see that movie so badly. Me, some chocolate, and a lot of tissues. Sounds like a great date to me!

I went to the grocery yesterday and stocked up on some tasty, healthy items. Also made up a meal plan (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks) for the week (Mon-Fri). I am so type A.

So we'll see how it goes. I'm excited about weigh in tomorrow morning because I lost a little more weight as of today. Hoping the scale will be a teeny bit lower by tomorrow.

I don't feel like going to the gym, but I can at least work with free weights while I watch TV. So that's what I'm about to do.

How was everyone's weekend?

I'm about 2 weeks into the program (I'm not judging it by 30 days, I'm doing each level until I'm ready for the next) and I LOVE IT!. Within this time period, I've been able to fit into size 11 jeans (Im usually a 13) plus I have so much more energy. I am just coming to the end of level 1 as I have skipped some days in between workouts, but I can already see the progress. When I first started the DVD, I couldn't make it through anything other than the jumping jacks. Now the only thing I struggle with is Push-ups, but I have ALWAYS sucked at those! I also LOVE that the dvd is only 20 minutes because I hate working out!
