Oh I am so glad the baby feels better,,,, now its your turn to get better,,
Today I did the American Girl Doll Tea Hairstyles- I completed 32 in 3 hrs....here are some pics..
Weigh in today. Down 1.4 lbs. Only .4 more to go and I will have lost 50lbs.
Honestly, you newbies, if I can do it, you can, too. I would have never believed I could do it. I won't say it was the easiest thing I have ever done, but it certainly wasn't the hardest!!! Keep up the good work....the rewards are worth it...Also....got the orange drink today. Will try it tonight and let you all know how it is. Hope it is every bit as good as you Canadians keep telling us.
and Sending HUGS and PRAYERS to Erin...(replying to yesterdays post)
I have to share- with my 15 lb loss so far I was able to fit into a long skirt that I LOVE, that was hanging in the back of my closet..! I wore it to an American Girl Doll Tea today, held in town here. I was asked to style the 'dolls' hair. I brought $30 worth of small colorful hair accessories and styled 32 dolls in 3 hrs! Some 'little ones' got a braid or two in their hair to match their dolls. It was so much fun!! I took pics of the dolls only, and hope to upload them tommorrow morning before work on my picturetrail acct for all to view.
I can't believe how much prettier I feel with losing this weight!!! : )
Maybe we should THREADS like this-do a 4 day sunday thru wed thread and 3 day thursday thru saturday thread... ideas???

EVERYONE - Can't we go back to Monday - Friday Thread and a Saturday & Sunday? I feel like we're losing posts with daily threads.

I have also been asked to switch us to daily threads in PM from Ruth. Given these ladies are monitoring threads for multiple diet forums and they have a job they are trying to do, just my humble opinion, but I think it would be nice if we could support them. We don't get to see what happens in the administrative side of things. Also, they recognize many people are still connecting by dial up and the longer threads make things slower for people to open and participate in.
I know it is a bit uncomfortable to get use to this format. It was just as hard to go from a general thread to a monthly thread. Then we went through it again when we went from a monthly thread to a weekly thread. All of that has happened in the last 9 months. We WILL have to go to a daily thread soon. There is no way around it. We are fortunate to have a large amount of participation and a growing group. We have had some weekends get nearly 300 posts in 2 days! We are one of the more active threads on this forum! With the way we have grown just this summer, We really need to get it set up in the final stage, daily threads, and stick with it.
I am sorry if that seems a downer or a bit "bossy" for some. No one, not even the moderators, want to be a "heavy" on the topic. But, I have it on great authority that it HAS to be done and the sooner the better.
Thank you for continuing to try and to support what our WONDERFUL, HELPFUL moderators and administrators need to keep this support and helpful space available and functional for all of us and all who come.
All of the above was said with the kindest of thoughts and feeling and I hope I haven't hurt or offended anyone! If I have please feel free to send me PM. I am truly sorry if it happened as it was not the intention.
Shared from Daily thread for August 18th
As a possibility, we might do a thread that shows all daily thread links for each week but, it would have to be bumped up REPEATEDLY in a day to keep it where people can see it.
The best solution might be to bookmark this link : http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ideal-protein-diet-236/
It is the link to this subforums main page. If something is current and actively in discussion, like a daily thread would be, it will be at or near the top of the bottom half of the first page. All the sticky threads and important info is at the top.

Boy did I mess up. Gave up everything the first week and lost 8 pounds. Picked up my coffee and creamer for weeks 2 and 3 and only lost 2 pounds each week! Watch that sugar people, i had even modified it thinking that would be okay. If you think your doing something wrong you probably are! I am back on track and looking forward to next tuesdays weigh in. Cheat free!
Hello out there, I'm back from my travels and I have just completed Day 1 (again) of the program. Hooray for the moodiness and headaches of the first few days (grumble grumble). I'm back from my "vacation" 10-ish pounds heavier and took in wayyyy too much food and beverages.
But, I must tell you that i wore a BATHING suit in public for the first time in.... ummm... at least 20 years (I was never one for hanging out at the beach, even when I did weigh 150). So, I am proud of myself for that.
Just wanted to say 'hi' and let you know that I'm here
