i haven't been around, been busy....sorry
yeah got my score, not bad, better than what i thot i wud get...86/209....alhamdullilah...
anyone else still around in the forum? lost some weight during ramadan n' afterwards as well, but it's more to depression than actual diet n' exercise...
i'm dwn to 130 lbs...targetin for 120 lbs...inshallah
i'm at the gym for about 5 hrs in a day, everyday! ....walking on the treadmill n studying gets tiring....
I'm still here. I did lose about 10 pounds during Ramadan, but haven't made much progress since. I agree, eating is not a temptation during Ramadan, but it is such a challenge at other times.
Hi there, ladies! I'm not Muslim myself (um, and I confess I've just changed my avatar to a thoroughly immodest picture of me en route to a ball last week - ana asfa!), but a dear friend of mine is thinking about joining 3Fatchicks and I was just checking out areas that might interest her. Are you good people still around? It seems to be a fairly quiet thread?
I've been dealing with some demons. haha Truth be told, I've gone 15lbs over my highest weight. Last year I was so fit and ready for a new lifestyle then some things happend (unwanted pregnancy, misscarriage, among other things) and then the emotional toll was just sooo difficult. I am scared now to even dtry to diet because I might just gain it all back when some problem comes my way and I don't know how to cope with it. ughhhh
I'm mostly just lurking. Hopefully I can get myself back on a program, the right track, and coping with my issues properly.

TempleBody - so sorry to hear about your pregnancy issues - that must have been very distressing in a whole range of different ways. I'm not at all surprised if that took a toll on your way of eating!
Which program are/were you following? I'm finding that Low Carb has really made an enormous difference to how my body works, in terms of food cravings - yes, there's will power involved, but it's SO much easier when you're not actually feeling particularly hungry, or having to deal with food cravings.
Incidentally - lovely avatar! Funnily enough I'm going to a belly dancing class tomorrow! I did a little when I lived in Cairo, and it seemed like a comparatively unscary way of getting into another kind of exercise here in Bangkok. Fingers crossed!
