300+ And Ready To Try Again...#823
 

WELCOME !!!

We are a group of individuals who weigh or have weighed 300+, or near there. This group was formed to provide a place for others like us to find support and hope. We are aware of the distinct problems that come with weighing over 300 lbs.

We want to invite everyone to join us in our journey.
We share laughter and tears.
We share what works for us and what doesn't.
We often use a "Topic of the Day" for discussion.

Motivational Monday
Tuesday Tips
Wednesday Wish List .. and What you are doing to obtain it.
Thankful Thursday
FUN Friday ... don't wait until you lose your weight.
Sit-up Saturdays - any physical activity
Share your Success Sunday

These are not required topics ...just ideas to share. We often find them very helpful. We also share heartaches and fears ... joys and celebrations.

We have several extra threads going on simutaneously such as Monthly Challenges, Weekly Weigh-ins, Recipes, Bios, and more. Please feel free to check them all out.

We have found this thread to be more than just a support group...
we have found it to become a home. We invite you to join us.

WELCOME!

I know you'll all agree that we are really thankful for the free services here at 3FC. The sisters offer all of this support and information with no charges to us. There are a couple of ways though that we can help out.

If you are thinking about buying anything at Amazon, why not help out 3FC at the same time? You can do this by clicking on the button for Amazon on any page in the forum, or by clicking on the button on the main 3FC page at www.3fatchicks.com . A portion of your purchase price will be given to 3FC by Amazon. It doesn't increase your price at all, but it does help out 3FC. You can use any of the Amazon.com links that you see on the site in order to help contribute to the site.

Also, BTW, in case you didn't know it, you can view the message boards "ad free" for a minimal charge. I think it's like $15 for 6 months. A very small investment to be rid of the annoying ads and make your pages load quicker.

Felicia - Now with you talking about the Gazelle, I want one of those, too! LOL! You guys are going to make me go even broker! ;) I also want to invest in a mini trampolene. Anyone ever had one?

MsCrockett - If you are going to go for the treadmill, definately get an electric one! We have a manual one down in the basement, and it's very very HARD to get motivated enough to actually USE it! We have an electric one upstairs, though, and I'm liking it!

NotTheCheat - You're right, you can't overdo it, or you won't wanna go again the next day...although, when you are doing so good, you just DONT want to stop! hehe!

Lilion - Oooooh! Velour! Well, it's hard sometimes to judge what size I need...but anywhere from 22/24/26 shirts is what I need right now. (Down from a 30!) Anyway, I'm bigger on top than on bottom...I sometimes need a 3X tee shirt, and right now I'm wearing XL shorts...who knows?!?! Yet, I can't wear small PANTS...my body is so weird! Hopefully, I get curves eventually, cuz I have NO BUTT! LOL!!!!

Well, I ended up doing 30 minutes of working out!!! I managed to do 20 minutes on the treadmill! And I was only able to do SIX yesterday! And then 10 minutes of dancing!!! I feel GOOD!

Kayley,,,,,,YOU GO GIRL, GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE IS MOVING..LOL

Kayley: Remember one thing,, sometimes when we work out, we make muscle from the fat, and instead of loosing we may stay the same or gain a litle......are you measuring inches too?

Gazelle?? I don't even know what that is! :) but you can bet I'm going to look around.... I've been thinking I need a treadmill but have NO idea where to start in picking one out. (but I now know definitely NOT manual :) ) but hmmm.... what's this new thing.... hmm... something to explore!

This water.... sheeese.... just how many times can a human pee in one day???? LMAO.....

OHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I just looked up what a gazelle is.... aha! (man, I hate those commercials that guy does for them!!). BUt -- good to know.. might have to consider that. Looks like they take up a lot less space, too.

The guy on the commercial is a bloomen idiot, you just want to pop his hairy little head off.....lol..............

C'mon Yooooou Can Dooo It!!! Oh Pah-lease
