speaking of ace--- i noticed that she hasnt been on the boards at all in a few days--- she's usually on cause i've seen her name on several of the forums on here but havent seen her on any recently ---so ace!!! get back in the game girl--- we need ya!!!
I hope Ace comes back!! I'm addicted to 3fc, I can't leave! I feel like dealing with my diet and the fact I am trying to lose weight everyday keeps me in check and on track. I can't tell you the last time I sucessfully dieted for this long, and its only been a month, and I really think I owe it all to 3fc!
So how are we all going to deal with Thanksgiving, and what are all of your plans? Doing the extended family thing, or just staying home with immediate family?
Sorry, I don't know why I haven't been around. I guess I was just offended because you guys didn't actually vote for the banner, so mine never had a chance. I know it was silly and childish to take offense to that...
I've been eating healthy still, and exercising, except for the last two days. I'm still only 312. I don't feel like it's going fast enough
Ace: I'm so glad to see you back! Don't take offense about the banner, I'm sorry I didn't really think of voting because I can't even have a banner yet so I figured it didn't matter. It is a really cool one though! I think they might've just picked the first one that was shown? I have no idea, but I am sorry for not thinking about voting. Don't worry if you are stuck at a certain weight. It will come off eventually! Just making the change to eat better and exercise is a HUGE step!! Maybe you might want to try a calorie counter? Fitday.com, myfitnesspal.com, dailyplate, etc. There are tons out there!! I know I thought I was eating pretty well, but I was taking in too many calories. Using these logs really helped me, maybe it will help you too. Also, remember, if you want to lose a lb a week take out 500 calories. If you want to lose 2 lbs per week, take out 1000 calories. That is pretty much as low as you should go. I use www.myfitnesspal.com. It does the math for you. Just tell it what you weigh, what your activity level is and how many pounds a week you want to lose. It is easy. I really hope you do well with your goal, not just for this challenge, but most importantly, for you! You seem like a really nice person with a great personality. Also, you look like a model in your pics!! Good luck and stay with us!!
thanks I did the calorie calculator and it said 2, 500, my problem is the calorie counting part. Because most of what I eat is home cooked meals I don't know how to count the calories in it, and it seems really hard. I just wish I could wake up a year later and see how all my work will have paid off. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel you know...
ace I'm glad you're back! Sorry about the banner. I didn't think about it. I just pressumed that people had voted because I came on one day and that's what they were using! We could still vote on it if you want? Try not to get discouraged. I'm calorie counting as well and it is hard, especially if you're not eat alone and at home. When I'm out and I eat I haven't a clue how many calories are in it. Your best bet is to guess the best you can. How long have you been at this? It'll take some time to see serious results, but when you do it is so worth it.
Anyway I hope you feel better soon!
Ace you're back!! Sorry about the banner. I didn't think to vote either because I liked them all and didn't care what you guys picked. But I'm glad you're back and still eating healthy!! I've only started my journey 3 weeks ago and I'm down 16lbs and still can't see the difference AT ALL. So I know how you feel. Don't get discouraged though. We can cheer each other on and soon we will be able to see what all our hard work was for!

I know exactly how you feel! I hit my 20 pound mark last week and I feel like I look exactly the same. I mean, I know that it's not a huuuuge weight loss, but I just really wanted it to be just a little bit more noticable.
Thanksgiving kicked my butt. Thanksgiving morning I weighed myself with clothes on and I was 225. Down from my weigh in Sunday of 226, and that was w/out clothes. So I really tried not to indulge yesterday and I don't think I did THAT bad. But this morning I was back up to 228 with clothes Hopefully its water weight!

well I was kind of dissapointed that after a week, i hadn't lost any weight, then the very next day I miraculously dropped two lbs... so yeh I bet tomorrow or the next you'll be less:P I'm kind of glad i didn't have to do the whole thanksgiving thing... living in canada it was a while ago:P
I JUST GOT A JOB, finally. I had been job hunting for a while... and I finally got one. They called me up and ask if I was still interested in working there, and I said yes, and she asked me what my school hours are, and I said 8:30 - 12:30 and she said, when are you available to start and I said as soon as possible, and
she said can you start today? and i said yes, and she said okay see you at 5:30
Congrats Ace!!! I hope you like your new job! and i hope you're right about me dropping a few lbs in a few days. Its also my TOM so between that and Thanksgiving, I dunno how much help I'm gonna be this week!! I feel so down about it. I feel like I've been cruising along losing weight without very many bumps in the road.

well just be happy it was smooth for as long as it was! But even smooth roads get bumps after a while
My job is like a workout. I basically did a 5 hour walk/fast walk. I had to put all the "neverminds" and "changed my minds" back on the shelves, there was 12 isls or 13 and I didn't know where ANYTHING belongs, it being my first shift. So for the whole time i was going back and forth back and forth... ahaha my feet, back, and legs hurts, and even my arms got a workout because i was carrying heavy baskets of stuff the whole time. BAH. lol
