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 the Amazon "store" in the upper right hand corner of the screen on the PURPLE tool bar. 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.

I went to WW to weigh in this morning and I am down 7.2 pounds since last week! I am so happy about that. I fully intended to leave before the meeting but it was full and I decided for some reason to stay. I loved it. I'm so glad that I did. It was so motivational and fun. I got a 5 pound book mark which I love. I love prizes. For all the comments on my Yoda doggie in my avatar, I love him too. I have a few dogs in halloween costumes that I hope to post for October. I don't want to offend anyone but I think they are cute and all in good fun. After Halloween I will put my photo back up.... Sharon
going to Curves and doing at least some of your workout!
tiny boo boo last night now, a new day today and up and onward towards you 20 pounds you will make it girl.
I was thinking that maybe you could look over your before and after photos and spend some quiet time reflecting on how you felt then and why you wanted to get healthy. Maybe that will motivate you back to our old energizer
bunny Melissa! (I know it is a banana but I didn't see a bunny)
on another pound lost! You go girl.
please tell us about it?
living in your house all the time. So, Darren is Santa eh? lol Hugs my friend. I did loose 7.2 pounds today and better than the weight loss I feel so much back on track, so motivated to keep that coming and reach my first goal! I love the idea that Nancy wrote to you about the purse thing. I hope something will help you feel better. Please try to think about the alternative to not having an ostomy is not being alive! I'm so glad that you are here and in my life! Think of that bag as a life saver maybe.
happy for you being hips under 60". So wonderful of an NSV
you aren’t the only one with a skeleton in the closet… besides, it’s the right time of year for skeletons!
I’ve been intending to go get apples, but picking them myself never occurred to me! DUH! More walking, man I need that today, even if it is damp and dreary out. You are BRILLIANT!
There are a lot of things I’m discovering that can be done with out being on your feet, (some of them people even tell me are fun.
That’s fair, but punishment is something most people resent.
It carries a negative, judgmental feeling, and since what you’re really doing is bettering your life, perhaps making it a negative thing is defeating. Go ahead and do the exercise, but isn’t it a good thing that you have the opportunity to burn those extra calories?
A chance to right a small harm against your body by doing it a favor and making it stronger?
Maybe I will go take a peek and see where those 2 pounds are.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Sorry you were disappointed with your water aerobics class. 
Great job! I'll be you ARE having a great day now!!

Yes, I am so relieved. That definitely topped my list of good news for the week.
I saw it and literally had to lay back down on the table (I had been sitting up). Then I had to put a magazine in front of my face so I couldnt see what she was doing.
on the inches lost! Keep up the good work!
I didnt set my alarm but I woke up around 10 and I thought to myself "laying in bed sounds way better than working out..."
So I got my lazy butt out of bed and went. I felt so good!!
I dont think I was working necessarily a lot harder than I usually do, but I wonder if its all the sodium that made me sweat so much (like sweating it all out
so I guess I should get to it. But the good thing (probably the only good thing) about living in Husker Nation
, AKA The Bane of My Existence
but it's really true. You are your doctor's employer. If he/she isn't as thorough or kind as you need, then it's time to move to someone new.

on your loss this week! That's great!!!!
