We are a group of individuals who weigh or have weighed 300+, or near there. This group was formed to provide a place for others like us to find support and hope. We are aware of the distinct problems that come with weighing over 300 lbs.
We want to invite everyone to join us in our journey.
We share laughter and tears.
We share what works for us and what doesn't.
We often use a "Topic of the Day" for discussion.
Motivational Monday
Tuesday Tips
Wednesday Wish List .. and What you are doing to obtain it.
Thankful Thursday
FUN Friday ... don't wait until you lose your weight.
Sit-up Saturdays - any physical activity
Share your Success Sunday
These are not required topics ...just ideas to share. We often find them very helpful. We also share heartaches and fears ... joys and celebrations.
We have several extra threads going on simutaneously such as Monthly Challenges, Weekly Weigh-ins, Recipes, Bios, and more. Please feel free to check them all out.
We have found this thread to be more than just a support group...
we have found it to become a home. We invite you to join us.
WELCOME!
I know you'll all agree that we are really thankful for the free services here at 3FC. The sisters offer all of this support and information with no charges to us. There are a couple of ways though that we can help out.
If you are thinking about buying anything at Amazon, why not help out 3FC at the same time? You can do this by clicking on the button for Amazon on any page in the forum, or by clicking on the button on the main 3FC page at www.3fatchicks.com . A portion of your purchase price will be given to 3FC by Amazon. It doesn't increase your price at all, but it does help out 3FC. You can use any of the Amazon.com links that you see on the site in order to help contribute to the site.
Also, BTW, in case you didn't know it, you can view the message boards "ad free" for a minimal charge. I think it's like $15 for 6 months. A very small investment to be rid of the annoying ads and make your pages load quicker.

Just a quick post to say hello. Congrats to all the loosers. Welcome all new people. I have been exercising a little bit again finally! Hopefully tomorrow will be even better.
Hello all, Today has been a good day,, I had a rather slow start with *Aunt Margaret* taking her monthly toll...... I just feel so bloated and Puffy, I hate it, I wish Adam had ate the Apple instead of Eve...(wouldnt that be something) I went to the grocery store to get the stuff to make some Stuffed Green Peppers and I found and bought SB frozen dinners for Phase I , and oohhhhhhhh Are they GOOOOOD!, I AM LIKEN THIS LIFE STYLE..
I hope everyone is well.. dont know what is up with this group the threads are so sloowwwwwwww.. it is puzzling.........??????????/ I hope everyone is okay.
hey crock
I wish we had more variety of foods here. I live on a small province in Canada and we have NO selection when it comes to diet foods. The closest that we can get are Michealina's advantage dinners and they are OK but.... that is IT! I bet the SB dinners are great. We don't even have a health food store in our city anymore. We have to drive 45 minutes for protein powder *L*
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen the boards so slow! Just wanted to say, I had the BEST dinner tonight. I'm posting the recipes on the recipe thread. YUMMY!
Brenda~ I have to drive 45 minutes to do any shopping, Sorry they dont offer the meals.. go here, and check this Kraft site about the South Beach dinners, and there are more recipes... and , THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPES ...... I really appreciate it.
Crock - Are you sure that the dinners are for Phase 1? From what I knew, all of those were for Phase 2...they have pasta in them.
I'm at the school....late. Found a good find at Big Lots tonight...Cute boyshorts for $1.99...they are Just My Size brand. Also got one of their thongs...lol. Never had one before...and a pair of Delta Burke cute lacey hip panties. Way cute. Lavender. I'm planning a big surprise for Andrew, when he gets back to his house. It involves directions, and I'll be the surprise at the end! I'm going to park my car down the road, so he doesn't even know I'm there...going to leave him little notes and candies... Should be cute.
Yup.. this one is phase 1,2 and 3 recommended,, chicken, with a wonderful sauce and cheese, broccoli and cauliflower.. there were only three to choose from for Phase 1, They are stampe New on the upper left had corner,
it is called, Caprese Style Chicken with Broccoli and Cauliflower....
Crock - Good find! I'll have to look at Walmart next time I'm there, and check them out.
Brenda - I sure hope so! ME IN A THONG! OH THE HORROR!
Well, ladies, I'm finished with his surprise, and I have 3 1/2 hours until he'll get home...so I gotta hurry! LOL! Especially if I wanna get some more exercise in before he gets there! I might be back on after a while, but if not, hope you all have a GREAT night!!!
Kayley ~ He will think you are beautiful... because you are
I was thinking that maybe it is so quiet here tonight because of Valentine's day. I'm off to bed to watch the Olympics*L* How exciting for me. Steve is working till 6am *L*
Hello Ladies. Happy Valentine's Day!!! to everyone. Well holidays mean parties at my school, and that means that all the children bring well-meaning presents of candy to the teachers. OMG I got so much chocolate. I passed out a lot of it down the hallway to parents passing by wishing them a Happy Valentine's Day, and I gave some to my dad and brother. I kept the individual kisses to have a tiny bit of chocolate every once in a while. I also kept the lifesaver creames individually wrapped ones, but I have to find the nutrition info on them before I eat them. I actually did well considering it was a party day. I had two mini turtles (one of my children bought me a HUGE box of them and I LOVE them...chocolate and caramel are MEANT to be together) and I had two mini chocolate covered pretzels. No cookies, no cupcakes, no sandwhiches, no chips, no dip, no pizza. I didn't get my workout in though, I ate really late and when I tried to workout just a bit ago I got real sick...so, note to self EAT EARLIER. I'm going to try to get to bed right now and get up early and make it up in the morning.
Anyway I hope everyone had a wonderful day!!!!
----- Lilion--I will certainly see if I can find the recipe for the bourbon chicken, General Tso's is my favorite chinese food!!!! Too bad there's no bourbon in it though LOL ... Thank you for the suggestion.
christin--Yes it is great to see the emasurements going down...but I hadn't noticed it, my clothes don't fit any different...*shrugs*. And thanks for the suggestions, I am going to have to find some more recipes for chicken lol...I go through phases where I eat the exact same thing for days...right now it's wonderful chicken salad. I've had it for lunch and dinner the past two days. But it's good and pretty easy to make.
kayley--ooooh I sooooo need to cut down my diet coke intake...I actually did cut out my afternoon one at work for thursday, friday and monday...but this being a party day at school my nerves were frayed by the afternoon so I had it today...It is giving me headaches though not to have it. And, I am sure Andrew will love his surprise.
ZedAus--Thank you for adding the link to your weight loss document, I haven't had a chance to go read it yet, hopefully tomorrow I will. I've never watched the Biggest Loser, I've seen people here talk about it, but I watch so little TV...CSI, reruns of Sex & the City and Wildfire are about my weekly TV times, and I haven't gotten to see two of those three for over a month *LOL* so... And yikes my kids are always HORRIBLE during the full moon!!! Both the ones I'm raising and the ones I teach. It's a once a month reminder that I'm very glad I don't have any of my own...(I am kidding of course.)

woohoo, I successfully managed to have NO candy on Valentine's Day! I made Jeff whatever dinner he wanted for the occasion--he chose Lipton's instant teriyaki noodles (which I used to make as a side dish all the time but stopped due to high sodium content--I now make my own sides with whole-wheat noodles, veggies, and teriyaki marinade), so I made those and bought some frozen egg rolls to have with them (all veggie-filled for me, pork and veggie for him ). I also gave hime some candy, 2 pairs of V-Day boxers, and a video game. All I got as a grocery-store-variety mixed bouquet of flowers on Friday afternoon, but it makes up for last year when he got me something really good, and I didn't get him much. Maybe next year, we'll actually get it right
Anyway, I've still been doing really well with the calorie cycling. I finally feel like I may actually be able to stick to this. This past Friday, I had over 3000 calories, but it still ended up fitting into my plan. Now THAT'S a plan I can live with forever! We'll see if the scales agree when I weigh in tomorrow (morning for my own personal official weigh-in, and evening at TOPS).
Kayley--I had to laugh about the thong, but I also had to nod in agreement. I bought my little teddy or whatever you want to call it, and it came with a thong. I put it on yesterday before Jeff got home--and took it off before he got home, too! The actual thong part didn't bother me, but the super-narrow triangle of fabric in the front did not cover my apron of fat, so it just wasn't happening. I also changed out of the teddy before he got home, but he eventually convinced me to put it back on after dinner. I won't go into any details beyond that
I agree that the boards have been much slower lately--but at least it gives me a chance to actually read ALL of the posts!
300+ And Ready To Try Again...#834
Happy Valentimes Day Everyone! 
I'm going to park my car down the road, so he doesn't even know I'm there...going to leave him little notes and candies...
Should be cute.
