Weight Loss Support - Addicted to 3fatchicks?

I think I'm addicted to 3fatchicks!! That last thing I do before bed is check this site. (Yup, its even taken priority over facebook!:eek: ) Its not the first thing I do in the morning, only because the first thing I do is exercise. But I can't wait to check it, once I'm done! I'm on here as much as I can throughout the day. Granted if I'm working, I don't get on here at all...but then I check it as soon as I get home!

Is anyone else addicted to 3fatchicks??

Look at my join date and post count, therein lies my answer

Not me........:nose:

Me either :)

I am to!! I hit Fitday and 3fatchicks before Facebook everyday now and I have a lot of downtime at work where we just sit and wait for the phone to ring (literally, I'm a 911 dispatcher). sooooo....thats bad. I have a lot of time to poke around here.

I have to remind myself that being sedentary got me here, so yes - 3fatchicks is great for motivation and ideas.... I prolly shouldn't sit on the forum for more than an hour! :dizzy:

Uh...a bit too much. I really, really need to step away! LOL!

haha... not at all :dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:

BUT! I'm glad I am... I was addicted when I first joined.... then disappeared for a year after some crappy stuff happened and gained the 40lbs. plus 20 more that I had lost while originally being addicted... Since returning, I've fluxed back and forth, but have at least lost the extra 20 and am working on kicking some serious fat butt... sometimes we need something to help pull us through and I would much rather it be 3FC then any other website!

*silently raises hand*

*raises her hand* My name is Courtney and I am addicted to 3 Fat Chicks! I check the site on my cellphone every day during my lunch break at work and spend time here every night when I get home from work too. Between my blog, here, and Facebook I am online a good bit in the evenings.

Not since I joined 3FCAnon.

I'm really only a social 3FC'er.

I just read the articles, I don't look at the pictures.

I only do FireFox - I don't touch the hard browsers.

I can stop at any time.

I am, no doubt about it. :D I don't really post a whole lot lately, but when I've got weight loss on the mind, I'm lurking around here quite a bit.

yeah....its almost a competition with facebook :)

OH yeah baby, I am on here CONSTANTLY!!!

Agreed! I too disappeared for about a year and didn't lose anything. 3FC has been more effective for me than any diet or "magic pill" out there. I'm addicted but I don't care, I wanna stay an addict!!!

Haha.....I am totally addicted to 3FC!!! I have a set routine regarding internet sites, which pretty much is email, FB, Twitter, a figure skating board, and then 3FC. But I find that I come back to 3FC much more than most of the other ones. I love reading the different subforums and even find myself searching for random things, especially when I'm bored!

I love coming here!!! There are so many great people here and a lot of great ideas/suggestions here too. It's nice knowing that there are people out there just like me! :)

I am addicted too! I can not WAIT until I can have a signature, so I can have a ticker!!! I desperately want a ticker! LOL

I'm on and off. I read WAY more than I post (which makes me feel slightly stalkerish ;) )
But I know I'm OP when I'm here and off plan when I'm not. So...I stick around

Ridiculously addicted. I have 6 tabs I open everytime I log in on my laptop - Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Fitday, 3FC. If I'm at work, it's usually the 3rd site I hit after my email and Fitday.
The majority of the posts in my post count have been racked up in the last 6 months - but I don't think I'd be where I was without this site! It keeps me accountable, I feel like I have some good friends here that I can chat to and commiserate with - I like updating my ticker and I like posting photos here because people here actually care too about seeing a difference in photos...I can't post that kind of thing on Facebook!

i am too, i also read alot more then i post, mostly just because someone has already said what I would have by the time i read the post lol

I may be new but I'm addicted, too. I have a lot of downtime at work and spend it almost entirely on forums. I love 3FC because it's upbeat and keeps me motivated to go to the gym after a tiring day.

I'm a dispatcher as well! SO much downtime on graveyards. I poke around here and it keeps me honest with myself about weight. Good to know I'm not alone in the 911 area though.

I am hooked to 3FC too whenever I am trying to lose weight. Lately I have been STICKING to my hopes of reaching goal so I have been coming to 3FC more often than I ever did, which does makes me feel good. :)

*refresh...... refresh... refresh refresh....... refreshrefrestrefreshrefresh!!!!!*

I totally am! It has made THE difference this time for my weightloss though. I love all the advice and food finds and if I am stressed about the process or anything I know I can come here and get help.

I am! But it's a good addiction to have, I think. I did lose a big chunk of my weight before finding this place but kept hitting the same weight plateau. Got on here and read all the helpful tips and wisdom and blew through it this time. Coming on here everyday certainly helps me keep making good choices.

LOL its a great thing to be adicted to. It is proving to be an excellent weight loss tool for me

me me me me,,,

*refresh...... refresh... refresh refresh....... refreshrefrestrefreshrefresh!!!!!*

Lol....this is me!

Me too :carrot:
I love it here! :)

I'm constantly alt-tabbing back here to 3FC while I'm working on other stuff and reach a sticking point. Not only does it help keep me on track food-wise, it makes a nice coffee break for my brain.

I'm shamelessly addicted, but hey, after giving up cigarettes, caffeine, and cheetos, I don't feel so bad about this particular addiction. :D

Uh.... Ditto on the addiction! It is a little better now, but I spent HOURS in the beginning at a time on 3FC. My sister finally told me, "How are you supposed to lose any weight if you spend all your time on that forum, and don't get out and MOVE!"

I have swings with it. =) The swings where I'm on here all the time are better for me, I'm always doing better. I think I avoid getting on here when I'm not completely on plan, I feel kind of guilty or something.

guilty as charged.

Addicted here too. Even if I don't post I read, get book and tv/movie suggestions. It's a great community and I love all of you! (sorry feeling a little mushy)

I definitely see an addiction forming. But in my case I think it's a good thing. I find my motivation here and soo many great tips and ideas.
