Hi. I belong to the Prevention site also. That is a really great picture. I haven't looked around the site too much yet, but I'm going to give it a try!!

[sunkist]

hi wistful dreamer-I know this site is pretty cool - and with all the mod cons (modern conveniences)

P,S, I love all the avatars - yours is so cute!! I posted my pic so that everybody could see who "sunkist" was. I wish everyone would posta head shot. It's cool!!

I'm gonna practice with the emoticons!

:) :( :o :cool: :dizzy: :mad: :^: :s: :lol: :smug:

Hi Sunkist,

I started out on Prevention...aka jamjab. Have returned to my roots here on 3 fatchicks...it's a great place! The Prevention board is getting overwhelming, :yikes: not to mention a bit nasty from time to time.

I am glad you found us here. I did recognise your name.

Looking forward to knowing you better. ;)

[Tippy60]

I am the same here as at Prevention, thanks I had forgotten about this wonderful site. ;)

[LindaBC]

When I first read the article about SBD in Prevention, I visited the website several times, but I found the forum much too cumbersome. They really should change the format. Anyhow, I've been coming to 3FC Low Carb and/or WW for years and I really miss the gang if I stay away too long.

[nysparkle]

Hi I first read about SBD at Prevention. I started July1 but haven't stuck with it yet but I will continue to try. :cool:

[Milliemo]

Hi! Just kind of checking out all the different message boards to see how they differ. This one has me thinkin a little to much I think. Lots of cutsie stuff, but I really don't need all that. But, I'll stick around for a while to get the hang of it.

[nothingtofear]

thank u sunkist for reminding me anout this site. Now i just have to figure out the picture thing... great idea. i am going to tell my daily thread about this...

[sunkist]

hi everyone
i really love the functionality of this site - but I wouldn't want to leave my "peeps" over on the prevention board. So I'll check in over here from time to time too!!!

good luck every one!!!:dizzy:



:lol: :o

[watdog]

Thanks for the link on the prevention board, this looks like a great and informative place to be.

I am from Prevention.com and was very frustrated with the site. I just started SBD on 7/10 doing ok so far. I just bought the book today and have been reading most the night and realize there was a lot of info I didn't get from just using the website.

I have tons of questions.... my first one... Is the book saying that we are suppose to drink Metamucil before eating??

[ublala]

How do you post the pictures??

[dentrassi]

Only if you need it. Some people find they get a bit constipated, so IF you use it have it before a meal because it really does help fill you up, but you do NOT want to start abusing laxatives!!! (Try making a legal chili with beans in it...THAT works too!!!)

[forevermom]

Me~ Hi Sunkist. I saw your post on prevention site and checked this one out. I really grew tired of that message board, it became so cliquish and negative at times. I like this one -- everyone seems happy so thanks for the nudge.

Sharon (gottaloseit - prevention board):lol:

[MrsC]

Saw your post on prevention. Thanks for the link,

[Ruthxxx]

Welcome to all of you. This whole site is pretty darn good!
Support, information and fun - what more do we need?

[Laked]

Hi! I just jumped over--was Ladydeaton on Prevention. They knocked WEB TV users off and silenced us! I'm trying to learn the board here and will sure be posting from here! Glad to see y'all!:)

[cocochanel]

hello all, I was also over at prevention but was sometimes too afraid to ask or post for fear of being harrassed by the group. This site seems much more friendly and helpful. Hope this works out:)

[dentrassi]

Welcome to all of you!!! If anyone gets nasty here just tell Ruth. She'll beat them up for you!~!!!

[Ruthxxx]

Durn tootin'! I have a chicken purse full of lead shot and a metal bra. Nobody messes with the Chicks in this Coop or they suffer the Wrath of Ruth!

Whoops! Sorry! i got carried away there. I meant to say welcome and we're glad you found us. :lol:

[dentrassi]

See why we love her?:love: :rollpin:

Love these new emoticons!! The sumo is really cute!!!:sumo:

[flagirl]

HI, count me in... :wave:
I saw your link on the Prevention website and thought I would check it out. this seems like a wonderful website. I look forward to sharing in all of your successes

[HereComesTrouble]

Hi all!

I was posting on Prevention's message boards last month. Haven't been back since I was on vacation for almost three weeks. (Fell TOTALLY off the SBD wagon, but I'm going to start Phase I again tomorrow). I like this site better! :)

[Ruthxxx]

Welcome to The Beach. We love it here too.

[didi123]

Thanks for getting me to this site..
I was on the Prevention board yesterday for the first time..
so your link and here I am!!

Looks like a great board!!

Di

[ellis]

Holy petolies!! A huge bunch of newbies! Welcome to everyone... :wave:

[Cosmopolitan Girl]

Hi! I just joined the prevention site, and also jumped over here as well, I do not have any negatives in regards to the later mentioned, but I think this site is a more organized forum, as my company uses something similar.

Thanks for the info!

[gofishin50]

Hi to all beachers!!:wave: New to SBD,,first saw on WW board about diet,,,went to Prevention site and read up and got book,,,on day 3,,,was bouncing bk and forth frm ww and prev site but was not seeing much info from their sites:( ,, Saw this site from WW this a.m. and immediately joined,,,Thanks for such a great and informative site to visit,,love the recipes also!!:cool: :) :) Hv a great day on the beach,lol!!!

[vli1127]

Well here I am. Just saw the link today on prevention. So how do you post the cutsie pictues?

[dentrassi]

Go to the top of the page and click on "USER CP" then on that page click on "EDIT OPTIONS." Down at the bottom of THAT page there is a section with "AVATARS" and if you click on change avatar it will take you to a bunch of pictures to choose from. You can also import a picture from somewhere else if it is the right size!!!!!

WELCOME TO THE BEACH vli1127!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sierrahigh]

Hi all, I've been lurking the Prevention site since May. The prevention site is othverwhelming but full of good info and support. I've heard great things about this site and wanted to check it out!:) Jann

[dentrassi]

HI JANN!!!! WELCOME!!!! Come post in the "daily" thread...That's where all the action is!!!

[ariela]

I am !!!

[Suzanne 3FC]

Welcome newbies!! We're glad to have you join us :)

I finally found the courage to post my picture on your Prevention "post your pics" link...thanks for the great idea. It's nice to be able to put a faces with names!

[frannymae]

Thanks for the link to this great site! I, too, have been overwhelmed by the Prevention Forums. This seems like a very user friendly (and just plain friendly!) place to be!

I had really good results w/SBD until I totally screwed up. Now I am having a hard time getting back to the Beach and need some support! :o Best of luck to us all!

[ariela]

I think that this will work out much better than prevention.

ok, a little bit about me.. a diet bio so to speak.


I am 52 years old.. have 2 grown daughters and a 2 year old grandaughter.. she is my insipration to lose. I want to be alive and well to hold her babies.

on May 27, 2002 I started this journey on Michael Thurmond's 6 week body makeover. I was 265 lbs.. (lost down to 223)

I lost. in September I got a job and ended up screwing up my diet. I started back in January... and seemed to be stuck

the diet was really restrictive.. like no dairy. I was not liking it an d not losing .

I found SBD or it found me. It chased me around websites.. sticking its little popups in my face until I investigated it. I started on 6/30 at 238lbs I am now 227.

I need motivation.. and people that have a sense of humor about their plan

ariela

[SandiLu]

ariela, if you are looking for motivation and humor you have found the right place. And with none of that meaness and "know-it-all" stuff that gets into the Prevention board sometimes.
This is the friendliest board with the nicest people.:D

[dentrassi]

Frannymae-I started messing up too, and have gone back to phase1. A couple of other people here are doing the same thing. Join us, and we'll all do it together!!!!

WELCOME TO YOU AND ARIELA AND FLAGIRL TOO!!

(HI SANDI!!)

[frannymae]

Thanks for the kind words! I am officially "on the Beach" again! I did pretty well today, and my DH is cooking me another yummy Beach dinner so tonight should be no problem. I do like these message boards better than those at Prevention. I don't know if it was the volume of traffic or what, but I often felt overwhelmed over there. ;)

Glad to be here, that's for sure! See you all on the beach!

Ellen

[pigletsmom]

Hello....anyone here?

[Suzanne 3FC]

We're glad you like it here! I found a lot of helpful information and friendly people on the Prevention boards, but I agree that they moved too fast. It was really hard to keep up!

[Sandy/NH]

Good evening all !
I followed a link from Prevention too, and am enjoying this board very much - what a wonderful group !

I've been on the SBD since 7/1, and have lost 12 lbs so far; am really enjoying this way of life, and feel confident that I can continue until I lose the million (alright, 55) lbs. that have been hanging around way too long !
Sandy/NH

[Suzanne 3FC]

Welcome, Sandy, and contratulations on the loss so far! I'm sure you'll reach your goal, good luck! :)

I am curious about the link to here, was it on the forum or on their site? Prevention has featured our website in several of their magazine issues in the past, but I've never seen it mentioned on their website.

[Seraphina]

I found this board through the Prevention site. Thanks Sunkist! :)

This has to be one of the nicest message boards I've ever seen. It's got everything. :cool:

I like playing with emoticons. :dancer:

I'll try to reign myself in though. ;)

[meg 1+2]

Suzanne...Sunkist posted the link a little while ago. I'm not sure which thread it was on...but I did see it there.

Meg

[Sandy/NH]

I too followed the link here from a post by Sunkist on the Prevention SBD message board - have lurked for a few days, but decided to plunge in last night; Prevention's msge boards have been down for the last 2 nights - no access at all after around 7PM - frustrating !

This site is easy to navigate, and I love the easy was of replying.
Have a great day, everyone ! Will be back tonight...
Sandy/NH

[Janie61]

I like the Prevention site, but it's been down at night and I need the support 24/7! I am so happy with SBD! This is day 11 for me. I had only lost 5lbs as of day 7 but I'm a slow loser and just glad to be losing!

I've always like 3FC though. Always kind words and lots of support no matter what diet (if any) you're on!

Hope to get to know you all as well!:)
Janie

[julbee]

i havent been able to get the prevention boards last 2 3 days error or someting... so i started reading these boads i like these peoplr seem very supportive of each other i just registered today how about you?? have you gotten on the prevention boards or is there a all around problem... oh well its nice here!!! i started sbd 9 days ago i like it so well see how it goes okay good luck to you!!! julbee

[ellis]

Welcome Piglet and Julbee... look on the list of threads... there's a thread called "Anyone from the Prevention.com boards over here?" LOTS of girls there from Prevention. And join us on the other threads, too! :wave:

[sunkist]

yes I am - and I have been really trying to hang in there - but everyday - the site goes down - it's crazy - i love the people over there though so I have been trying not to give up.

But it's so frustrating especially since the site is so primitive- you can't post pics and have to html code for emoticons - it's a bummer cause the people are neat (especially the June 9 Gang)

But I think from now on I'm going to post over here more:p

[pigletsmom]

Hi everyone! Glad there is a place to go to other than prevention. I'm with you Sunkist, I love the people over there but the board is very primitive. I have been doing SBD for a week and have lost 5 pounds. I am so excited because I had a baby 10 mos ago, and have been working on getting the weight off without much luck. This is very positive for me, and it keeps me on the straight and narrow just to see the weight come off. My scale is my friend right now! Hope everyone is doing well, and Good Luck!:D

[sunkist]

Hi PigletsMom
I have a puppy named nicky - but I call him Pooh Bear cause he's always looking around for food and he happens to L O V E honey!!

Anyway - glad to hear of your weight loss - I lost my 10 pounds that would not go away on SBD and am now at my goal of 125. I lost a couple of more pounds while I was sick this past week.

On Phase II - I have decided to keep low on breads - and add more raw fruits & veggies in. I keep prepared & processed foods to a minimum - I try to eat very simply during the week and then that way if my hubby & I decide to go out to dinner on the weekend - I can feel more relaxed about it.

I will probably end up posting here AND on Prevention cause I can't leave my June 9 Gang behind - but I love this boards format for sure!!! I REALLY love the emoticons!

Good Luck on the Beach :flow1:

[sunkist]

Hi Girls
Wow - I didn't know what a response I would get from posting over here - I hate to cause an insurrection- but I just love the look and feel of this forum so much more thsn the prevention one.

Even that was not enough to make me want to come over here though - until the site started to go down too often and I was travelling and will be again this week - so when I get back into town - i want to check in right away with my group - but can't get on!!! Waaaaaaggghhhhh:stress:

But I can't completely leave the prevention boards cause my June 9 Gang is still over there - I just wish they might jump over here - gee am i being disloyal by posting on both forums? I don't think so - I hope not!!:?:

Anyway girls - sounds like we can have some fun over here for sure - so I'll be checking in as regularly as i can!!!
It's 1:00am California time and I'm getting a bit tired - ha ha:twirly: Nite Nite

[Ruthxxx]

I am going to try to combine the two Prevention Threads. Hope that's OK. Perhaps one of you could start a weekly thread or join the rest of the Beach Beauties on the daily.

[zimaqueen]

I am from the Prevention forum also . My name is zimaqueen on the prevention forums too. I heard about this site there. So far I like it. People seem much nicer.

[Lilibelle]

:bubbles: Hi, I am also from the Prevention forum. Saw your post and wandered over here. This is a very nice place. I love the smilies. Never have been able to add them on.

It's so hard to get on to the other forum and sometimes you need to be around others who are walking the beach. I am on my 10th day. Today is the first day "for real" that I noticed my cravings have diminished. That made me feel very happy. I feel very empowered.

I look forward to sharing with you all.

L.

[frannymae]

Lillibelle & Zimaqueen...you came to the right place for support, advice and a few laughs! Check out the daily thread were you can jump right in and get to know everyone!

[anneag]

I have spent some time over there this week -- this is my first week. But the boards have been down twice this week! Do you find that they are down a lot over there?
:dizzy:

[Tammy1961]

I am also from the Prevention forum I knew about 3fat chicks forum from when I was on weight watchers but only recently I learned of the SBD I have been on it for a week today and I love it ................
Thanks Tammy

:D :p :)

[anj911_uk]

Hello! Just thought I'd check out this site as I can't get on prevention.com yet again! Looks much better over here though;)

[pigletsmom]

Hey Chicks! Once again the prevention board is down. What a surprise. I think I'm getting the hang of this. Down 6 lbs in 12 days, and I'm going to stay in phase I for another week to see what that can do. Hope everyone is doing well. :cool: P.S. This is a picture of the piglet! She is 10 months old.

[sassysus]

HI! I have been on preventio.com for a few days now and I have hardly been able to get on it at all! Either the server is down, which is is now, or it takes way to long to navigate things. I posted one question about some supplements, and someone gave me a hard time that if i were folowing the plan i didn't need them, and it wasn't just one post, she kept going...
Anyways, I like this forum a lot better, people seem friendlier here! I am winging it so to speak, i don't have the book-waiting till next week when it comes in at the library, so anyhelpful hints would be great! Thanks:)

[ellis]

Welcome, new girls!! :wave: (and boys?) We are VERY friendly fat people. :D

[PA Cutie]

I am. I like this site a little better because it is a whole lot easier to get into. But I'll probably check back with Prevention from time to time. :-)
Lee

[lessoflenee]

I too am a member of prevention.com, andAtkins message board, they have lots of good info, but, I could'nt get over howmean they were to a lady that said she needed to lose about #20 pounds. They really let her have it! I thought it was so wrong, I don't care if it's 20 or 200, if you need to lose it, and it will make you feel better then thats what you should do! My 2cents worth! I Love 3FC!!!!

[pigletsmom]

That's because they were jealous she only had that little to lose. Some people just don't get it. :lol:

[Mel-icious]

Thanks for the link Sunkist! I'm new to the beach, but not to VBulletin, so much easier to navigate! I've been to this site before for recipes, but never the board, thanks for the heads up!

[2by4nomore]

I'm here now! I had to pick a new name here. I hate it when that happens! So, how do you post your head shot? I'm willing to try!

[Susie54]

Can't seem to get a photo to post, but I'll keep trying somehow or 'nuther!! :dizzy:
