Elf, Glad to hear from you. You are an inspiration with your dedication to getting lots of exercise. Keep it up. Bet your college kids will be so proud of you when they see you!

My steps for today 10454, brings my total to 130,119. Did my walk/jog on the treadmill tonight. I feel so good when I finish.

Keep up the good work ladies. These next couple weeks will be tough but we can do it!

Good night!

Hi, I am back again to this site after leaving it about three years ago. It was a wonderful way to lose weight and I found a great group of women that helped me. I am currently looking to lose about 20-30 pounds.

Strap on that pedometer, tell us what your daily steps are and what you are doing to lose wieght, eating and exercise and welcome to the club!

Now get steppin!

Whoopsie! I almost went crazy!!! I had 100 calories more than I was supposed to when all was said and done and just now, I ate two graham crackers, 130 calories. I had to just STOP.
The tea pot is one, the crazyness has stopped. I thought it would help to come here and dump.
I don't know why I was just ready to go off the deep end... whoa!!!! I have been so good; this just surprised me!!!
Wow - scary

DMC don't be so hard on yourself... going over 100 calories (to me) is not that bad... just work a little harder tomorrow. k.. we all go off the deep end once in a while, and with the holiday's upon us.. all the goodies everywhere it is certainly easy to have a little of this or that... luckily, I don't have much of a sweet tooth.. my weakness is Mexican food.. I say if you want a little smidgen of something, have it but work it off! remember to building muscle will burn it off faster too!!! so, be kind to yourself.. you have been doing so great!!
CHICKHEN.. Welcome!!! We are a fun group I must say!! hahaha.. it is a busy time for everyone right now.. when the holiday's are over we will really get rockin'... then we can focus just on ourselves!!

Good steps ONMYWAY!! way to go!! and ELF .. keep up the great work...!!!

I didn't do as well on my steps as yesterday... it was so cold that I could barely move outside on the playground.. I don't do well in the cold.. I am more of a 'reptile'..haha... I know,... excuses excuses.. haha.... total steps today 9814

well, need to go to bed.. goodnight BFF's.. and goodnight to Lindy... hurry back Captain!!

Welcome Chickhen, there is always room for another BFF! We are here to support each other. Get walking!!!!!

DMC, I agree with MyTina, 100 calories in the big picture is not going to ruin all of your hard work. Some days we just need a little more.But do now that if you feel you mess up you can come here to vent!!!

My team from school is going to lunch at an Italian Restaurant today. I have looked over the menu and there will be very little there that will be healthy at all. I am planning to watch my portion and if I go over, there's still a treadmill and exercise bike in my basement for after school.

Have a great day friends! Weird weather here, already 54 when yesterday was in the teens!

Thanks Mytina and OnMyWay. Its good to know I can come here for support. Something is going on, this morning about 4:00ish, I woke up and did not feel well, a little nausaus (sp) and usually when I am not feeling well, I do tend to eat more than usual. I know, its weird, but my dad was the same way. I can eat a horse when I am sick. So maybe I have a touch of a bug.

I am feeling better right now, but who knows later!

going to do my Body Blast class today, lots of weights in that class. Its my favorite

Well, better get into my day...

I hope you are feeling better DMC.. that is funny you can eat when you are feeling nausea.. my husband is that way.. when he is sick with anything he eats, and eats.. I am the opposite. Its funny ( well not really) maybe coincidental is a better word when you said you felt nausea.. Yesterday I was feeling that way... waves of nausea.. ugh!! my stomach was a bit off ..I had a little peppermint tea... that helped a bit... I don't want to be sick... I do feel better today... I hope you are too!!

today 11746 steps for me. and the day isn't over... but I won't be online later.. we are going to the H.S. Basketball game. I hope you are all doing your Peds.. and drinking your water ( Lindy says so!)

Remember this is a great place to vent, celebrate, piss and moan, share, etc.. that is what BFF's are for!!!

Have a great evening girls!

hey look... it's my tracker...

Congrats on you tracker mytina! It looks great!

My pedometer read 48 after having it on all day! I believe that would be some sort of malfunction! Tomorrow is a new day. I had a good day eating. Fiber One bar and ww yogurt for breakfast. Lunch was a salad and thin crust mushroom pizza. I ordered it light on the cheese so I don't think it was a bad deal. I figured that was better than pasta with heavy cream sauce. Dinner was grilled tilapia, spaghetti squash and salad. I'm so glad it is the weekend.
Will check in tomorrow!
DMC, hope you are feeling better!

Well, today was good and bad.

First, congrats on tracker!!! Mytina, that's fun! I did not count peds today or tomorrow, I seem to do best when I do that with weekend off.

Guess what...OMG...I went to sushi tonight and Jim Fugruh was there... bad spelling, but he is in front at the Lake Sherwood tourney down the street from my house. We were so excited, my daughter went and talked to him, I didn't, too shy!!! WOW!!!!

Anyway, how do you count sushi and sashime and saki??? I don't know what to do, but I came home and had more wine too!

I think today not so good, but I needed the break from reality.

More tomorrow, and back to the gym. By the way, my gym teacher was a sub today and she was AWFUL!!!

Back on track tomorrow, don't expect much on monday weigh!!! Love you!

Hello it's me. Well I sure do mise talking to everyone. I just read everyone's threads and you all sound like you are doing so well. I'm ok trying to stay positive. I jogged yesterday and again at 8am this morning I took a different route this time. My steps have been off? I think my ped is broken. Yesterday it said 8,023 and the day before 6,223 and today after running it's at 4,118 so maybe I have not been so active. I'm glad you all are doing good. I will be on tomorrow maybe and for sure on Monday. Good luck to everyone on Monday and tuesday I hope the scale god is good to us. Mytina I like your weight tracker looks nice. DMC you will drop on Monday you hav ebeen working hard. and OMW look you are down to 206 from 210 already you are doing awsome. So proud of all my Bff's . What is the total on steps does anyone know? Well I have to go and get somethings done I will talk to you later. See ya....
Lindy.

Hello, I am a 3FC rookie, 45 years old, need to lose 94 pounds, and happily married with two wonderful kids. This appears to be a fun, supportive, and active group. Is there room for another?

There is always room for another BFF!
This is a fun group. We are here to cheer each other on and vent to each other.


We are counting steps so strap on your pedometer and join the fun!

Glad to meet you!

Hi everyone,

This has been a fun weekend but I will admit the holidays are hard to start a weight loss program! On Friday I went to a holiday party and really tried to be good. I only had one glass of red wine! The rest were diet cokes and I ate the shrimp instead and veggies instead of the fattening foods.

Today however, I went to NYC for a show and ate two big buffets. I had hoped to walk off the food but it was 23 degrees outside. I still have a few more food days until Christmas and a New Year party to get through but then I really am going to get back into getting healthy and exercising.
