Height:5'4" Eye/Hair Color: Blue and Blonde (not naturally-- auburn natural) Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: 05/2011 Starting Weight: 173 Present Weight: 148 Goal Weight: Anywhere from 125-135... I'd like to be down to at least 135 by the time I get married in April. Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: My sweet FH loves to eat junk, never works out, and looks AWESOME! Well, who can say no to a milkshake?! I also need help motivating myself to workout in the mornings before school and work. Following any specific plan: Not really... I did the HCG drops originally and got down to 138, but then I gained 10 lbs back because it is a quick fix. I am trying to cut out carbs (breads, pastas, etc.) and sugars. Cutting out diet coke is HARD. I have been running and I want to try to do the 30 Day Shred and Insanity. What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I realize there is no quick fix and that my metabolism is completely gone. I realize that if I don't get to where I want to be now by eating healthy and getting into a good routine, that I will blow up once I have children and fast food becomes easy. I don't want that. Preventative measures is key :) |

Hobbies/Interests: Family, friends, Ohio State football, boating, riding horses Height: 5'4 Eye/Hair Color: Green eyes, brown hair Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: 1/02/2013 Starting Weight: 206.6lbs Present Weight: 206.6lbs Goal Weight: 145-150lbs Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Keeping other people from influencing my decisions regarding food, alcohol, exercise, etc. My husband tends to be the one who influences my decisions the most - which makes it hard considering I live with him! Following any specific plan: Counting calories & plan to slowly start implementing a workout routine. What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I was an active 3FC member about 3 years ago and successfully lost about 40lbs. Even though I didn't hit my actual goal number, I was comfortable at about 145-150lbs and didn't feel the need to lose much more. Unfortunately that comfort, along with some stressful personal ordeals, and the fact that I started working a desk job (therefore get VERY little physical activity) led me to gain all of the weight back, plus more. I already know what I need to do to lose the weight - I've done it before! This time around I plan to work harder at maintaining the loss once I've achieved it. Anything else you would like to share with us: Although I wish I was coming back under better circumstances, I'm happy to be back & interacting with everyone again! 3FC was a HUGE part of my weight-loss journey the last time around. I look forward to talking to and getting to know all of new people who have joined since I've been gone! :) |

First name: Antoinette, prefer 'D'
Geographical location: Northwest Florida Age: 24 Marital Status: married Children/Ages: no Occupation: Journalist Pets: no Hobbies/Interests: Reading, writing, crafts (sewing, buliding) Height: 5"5 Eye/Hair Color: brown, brown Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: Jan. 2, 2013 Starting Weight: 216.5 Present Weight: 216.5 Goal Weight: 166lb to 140lb Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: sugar, starch, anxiety Following any specific plan: no; just attempting to exercise and break a sweat for at least 35min daily What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I'm determined; I plan to push myself. I have a different outlook on fat. 2 years ago, I was 40-45lbs lighter. I was a vegetarian and walked a lot more because I lived in Los Angeles. But now, the south, and eating meat and rice and beans and stuff made me gain so much weight in such a short period of time. I just realized I was fat. So, with this outlook--I plan to cut out a lot of meat and completely cut out sugary sweets and starchy stuff. Anything else you would like to share with us: My main issue is not having any support. Locally, people are fat and love to eat barbeque and stuff. There aren't any really good health food stores. Walking is nearly unheard of, unless you're a senior citizen at the park. Other than that, everything is so far and spread out that you have to have a car. So, the environment is not really health-conducive, but I will not bare to be this fat forever. Need your support. |
u r a perfect match

Though I am not seeking my physician's help really; I am wanting to become more adult about the whole healthy lifestyle thing. I was a vegetarian since 16, but I moved to the south two years ago and gained about 45lbs. Its crazy for me, but I am ready to be healthy, fit and careless (about all those things that make you worry in regards to being fat). I don't know how we're going to support each other, but I think you're awesome and understand where I wanna go with weight loss. So, I will be reading your posts (as you said you like to type). thx |

Unless you count "buy what the girl at GNC suggests" as a plan! |
