Good evening Girls! Way to go to those who lost this week. I had a rough weekend calorie wise. We had a night out with friends and I drank almost as many calories as I ate, but I kinda figured that was gonna happen. I'm hoping I'm back on track this week. Today I had my last day of jury selection ....YEAH!!!!! Suprisingly I wasn't picked this time, so I'm done with my term...it was kinda nice having the extra money and was interesting at times, but wouldn't want to do it full time. Tonight I bowled, and had my high game for the year...well the last year and a half.. 218..too bad the other two games weren't spectacular. But I'll take what I can get.
Here's my menu for today: Breakfast: Go Lean Oatmeal with milk Snack: 1/4 c pistashios Lunch: 6 chicken nuggets Supper: 1 turkey burger with white bun, mushrooms and 2 cubes of cheese calories 1384 fat 62 carbs 72 protein 81 fiber 10 exercise: 30 minutes gilad, 20 minutes pilates, 40 minutes bowling on plan? yes Diva- I think its a great idea to keep the chat going. Mel-I love the pic...today it was in the upper seventies here... and their talking snow by Thursday...but I guess thats NE weather. I say bring on the snow. I'm ready for snowmen and snow angels :D. Muse-great job on hitting your challenge goal. Whether its the low end or high end...its something to be proud of :carrot: Leeda-Great job on the 3.2 miles...I can't wait til I work myself up their. Currently I'm sitting at 2 miles. I could probably go longer, but I usually don't get up early enough to go over my 2 miles. I'm gonna try tomorrow. Shay-It sounds like you have a game plan set for Thursday. There are lots of families that don't have the tradition turkey dinner, so I say go with what works for you. Mercee-Its good to hear from you. I hope your trip to the gym was good. I can't remember the last time I went to the gym... I kinda miss going though. I might have to start up again. Sorry to hear about your losses. Everyone have a great night. Bridgette. |
Hi guys. Um I just got invited to a HUGE show but it's in 2.5 weeks. Silly me said yes, so I might be a bit scarce again. This thing is HUGE though and a real art show/sale not the little Indie craft shows I had been doing. I promise I'll continue to try doing my best weight loss wise. I'll surface to chat soon but I have to go work my butt off. I'm nervous about getting enough done before then it's a huge investment $$$ wise.
I like the idea of chat going on too even though it's been hard for me to be around as much the last few weeks. Your really my only home on 3FC at the moment. |
Good morning. It looks like everybody has a good game plan to get ourselves through the Holiday. I am gonna allow myself that free day, I have been allowing myself at least one a week, so I guess Thanksgiving is a good day for it eh? hehe ;) I'd prolly lose fatser if I didn't do that but whatever, I don't like feeling deprived and sometimes, like this weekend, I didn't even partake in it. I was too busy being a picky eater. Now THAT'S something I have NEVER been described as, LOL! I may gain a couple of LBS back but that's ok, I'll relose them. All I know is by the end of this challenge, I at least want to be OUT of the 200's and in the 190's.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that wants to keep our little chats going. I'd feel lonely without y'all. The RED team has the longest chat thread, have y'all noticed that? hehe We never travel or go anywhere for the Holiday's, so nothing really changes here except we cook more and we have presents under the tree. Kind of boring actually. I miss my BIG family wing-dings back home (Sav, GA) but we just don'e have the money to go so..... I know I'll be checking in here. I have come to love you gals. :hug: Gotta go ly down now, cramps are doing me in. I was up all night with them crying and taking too many Ibuprofens and using the heating pad. I was so out of this morning I couldn't even get up to carry M to school. :( I hate this time of month. C'yall later sweet taters! |
Diva do you have any almonds? Those are supposed to help with cramps. You know the prize for sticking to plan also helps with cramps! LOL!
Speaking of sticking to plan I did not! What a day it was. First off I only had 3 slices of bacon and coffee for breakfast. Then after showering I hit the slushy streets to get ready for the dinner for the teachers, I came home ready to cook 2 soups and a lasagna and NO POWER!! So I have to pack everything up and head over to the school to cook, finished in time to get the dinner going, go to my parent teacher conferences at 2 different schools(mind you I've not eaten a thing since 9am) head back over to the first school where dinner is to clean up and end up having a piece of chocolate cake!!!! How many carbs are in that? LOL! come home...still no power and the Bronco game is about to start, we dont miss Bronco games in this family. So we head to a restraunt/bar where I proceed to have a buffalo chicken wrap and fries oh and I had a soco/soda and a twisted tea. Luckily at halftime I called the house and the answering machine picked up so I knew the power was back on and I couldnt do more damage. SOOO OFF PLAN! And the scale showed it today! Darn it I want to break into the 220s by Thursday!!! I've got classes today so I need to run, kids are off school and then I'm working our PTA bookfair this afternoon for a few hours. So gotta run again! I'll be back...way to go on a Red team win girls!! Have a wonderful day!! ~melissa |
OH My goodness! You totally lost your mind yesterday didn't you? LMAO!!! Ummmm I could so go for some chocalate cake! But NO, NO NO!!! I will NOT! See what happens when when we don't plan ahead and have "healthy" snacks readily availbale? hehe....It's only one day gf! I'm sure you'll do better today. ;)
So is the prize a fancy heating pad? LOL! That seems to help after about an hour of agony. Sigh...Wish I could just have all my female stuff removed, I mean, I am so done having kids, so I'm not using it, LOL! I didn't know that about Almonds but I'm about to partake in some right now! Milk seems to help too and chocolate, but I don't have any chocolate, :o I am feeleing a lil' better right now. Sitting here with my heating pad and took some more pamprine. Leeda, I am so glad I am not the only dork that likes the Sims, hehe! (That's what my best friend calls me) I love that game and I can play for hours and hours. I think my fav part is building and decorating their houses. Did you know that the creators where originally trying to make an arcitecture (sp) game and ended up with the Sims? Cool huh? Do you dl stuff for them? Grab me on a messenger if you want, I have a few links of places to go and download clothes and stuff, there's even houses that other people have created and uploaded for them. |
Hi everyone,
Here is my menu for today: BF-- Steelcut oats, honey, banana, coffee with sf flavored creamer S--100 calorie pack popcorn L--crab salad and yogurt S--baked cheetos S--yogurt D--italian turkey sausage and ww couscous WW--26+ 1 flex pt=27 pts Melissa--We all have days like that.

Diva, sorry you're sick..tis the season for all that yucky stuff. About the Sims...yes I download occasionally. I totally spend wayyy too much time decorating. I usually spend most of my time decorating/redecorating. I have one family that has 11 kids (1 adopted). The mom had a want to have 10 kids, so I decided to let it happen. I kind of regretted it though. 2 sets of twins is rough! Anyway, let me not get started on this. I could write a novel here lol. I hope you feel better!
Melissa, sorry you had a bad day, but it happens to all of us (some of us more than others and I mean ME lol). I know you can get back on that wagon. I hope your power gets back to normal and stays that way! I ran 2 miles today. I did a very hilly course and it totally kills me. I ran the first mile, had to stop and walk for about 5 minutes, then came back and redid the course. It was easier the second time around, but I was happy to be done with it. I know that I need to become better at hills. Anyhoo, I will post today's menu tomorrow morning. It's time for bed now :) |
menu for today:
Breakfast: 2 blueberry go lean waffles-plain snack: oat and honey granola bar lunch: turkey burger with white bun, cube of cheese and honey mustard snack: 1 snack bag of doritos snack: yogurt supper: grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce wrap calories: 1482 fat 32 carbs 122 protein 47 fiber 15 exercise 45 minutes running, 10 minutes walking, 40 minutes bowling I actually ran 3 miles non stop today...which is pretty awesome considering I wanted to quit after 3 minutes. My goal was to run 35 minutes, but did the extra 10, my lower back was a little sore this afternoon but nothing a few tylenol couldn't cure. I'm really tired tonight, so I think I better head to bed... I'll post more in the morning...have a great night. Bridgette. |
So, I decided that since I blew it yesterday to not do lc the rest of the week because it seemed silly to me to work myself into that fat burn stage only to take myself out of it again on Thursday. So I decided to just watch the calories and make the best choices the next 2 days. And I did pretty well today, we even ordered pizza and I probably had more than I should but didnt gorge myself like I would have in the past. Man does my tummy hate me though! I feel like I'm 18 months pregnant, all bloated and uncomfortable....stupid flour and sugar!! Its the devil I tell ya! And I've been so darn thirsty since the pizza I cant get enough water which is making my stomach even more bloated! LOL! Ugh! Tomorrow will be better and I just gotta stay out of the processed stuff.
Hope everyone is having a great night! I'm off to bed! ~melissa |
Good morning...what I wouldn't give to crawl back under the sheets and sleep til noon. I was soooo tired last night, til I got into bed then my mind started wandering and I tossed and turned for an hour, so it was a short night. I've got to be to work early today and cover another ladies shift, hopefully with tomorrow being turkey day it will be slow.
Diva-There's nothing worse battling with AF with a cold on top of it. I'm sure I'll be getting a cold anyday now. It seems like it never fails, when the whether changes drastically thats when I get sick. Well Monday we had upper 70's and yesterday it was in the 30's. This morning its very refreshing out and their talking snow....YEAH!!!!!! Melissa-I just wanted to say congrats on being the biggest loser last week, even if you didn't list it. You're doing a great job, keep up the good work. As for the fat burning stage...ah it can wait til next week. Lets just focus on enjoying turkey day...and FOOTBALL! My DAMN LIONS better get their heads out their hineys this week. Ever since the broncs game they've been playing like blithering idiots. I placed a bet with one of my friends (who is a huge packers fan) on tomorrows game. Its a straight up bet, winner gets 5 bucks, loser gets their picture taken sporting the other teams colors. I really don't want to be seen in packers apparel. So make sure you root for my lions. Do the broncs play tomorrow or do they play sunday? Leeda-Great job on getting your two miles in. I think its great that you run outside, you get a more variety of a workout. Me, I just run on my treadmill, same incline and usually the same speed. I'm thinking that I need to start running outside, next spring of course. I did my first 3 miles yesterday and oh my legs are sore today. I guess I better hit the showers, I promised the guys I buy donuts this morning. Have a great day! Bridgette. |
Yesterday I was OP. I didn't change my menu at all. I will post my menu for today tonight or tomorrow bc I'm not sure about my afternoon snacks.
The scale is so frustrating me right now. It is not budging. Okay I've been on it this morning already but I will try to stay off it for a few days so when I finally step on it there will be a nice suprise. I will at least try to hang until Saturday. We'll see if I can make it that long. Oops I forgot I need to weigh in tomorrow for my Thanksgiving Mini Goal. Oh well..after tomorrow I will try to hang until Sunday. I'm not quite sure I will make it but I will try. |
Good Morning girls!! Its coooold out! Only 20 degrees. I've got carb hangover. Literally I feel like I drank last night. And the scale is up so thank god I've got a freebie coming! LOL! I knew I would have a little gain by switching plans so I'm not totally freaked out. I just know its gonna be a long week next week but I can do it!
Bridgette...I wasnt the biggest loser last week YOU were. I only lost .86% and you lost 1.09%, trust me if I deserve the attention I take it LOL! You really were the biggest loser so congrats! Broncos dont play till sunday. Luckily we've (I say that like I play for the team LOL) pulled out heads out and had a fantastic game on Monday night!! I love the bet!! So fun! My parents are HUGE packers fans since they live in Wisconsin, I hope its a good game at least! Shay...I'm a slave to that scale myself and I hate it!! Just try to remember that its only numbers, plus with you picking up the running its natural that you are gonna stall there for a little bit while you build up that lean muscle tissue. Okay I gotta head out into the cold and get a bookshelf from my cousins...if I dont get frost bite! LOL! Have a wonderful day today! ~melissa |
Good morning everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving! I will start cooking in a few hours. I don't have to make anything too complicated. BF said he wants to eat bw 2pm-3pm. That works for me. A late lunch. I added corn pudding to the menu. I actually have 2 recipes. One that I like better than the other so I will try that one out. Yesterday's Menu BF--cereal, soymilk, banana, coffee with sf flavored creamer S--100 calorie pack L--Smart One frozen meal and yogurt S--Bean, Rice, and Sweet Corn Salad S--Cucumber soup D--Turkey burger and wheat thins WW--26+4 flex points=30 pts |
Happy Thanksgiving Red team!! I hope you all have the most wonderful day with your families and friends.
Please remember to PM me the number of days out of 10 that you stayed on plan. Dont assume you are out of the challenge because of a few days, send me your numbers anyway! Happy Thanksgiving! Anyone planning a little walk later on? ~melissa |
:happ3: everybody!
We are cooking up a storm over here. I'm making my Apple Almond cornbread stuffing, YUM! I wish I could go for a walk later but It's cold and raining here. O'well. Not really up to it anyways. Still sick over here. I didn't log my Fitday yesterday as I was very ill and didn't eat much. I had : Special K & Milk for Breakfast and a can of ravioli for dinner. Have a wunnerful day with your families everyone! :hug: |
Good Morning everyone!! anyone have turkey hangover? LOL! I have a massive headache this morning and I swear I did not eat that much yesterday. Back to the books today I need to attempt to get caught up on homework...rolling into finals here in a couple weeks and I need to get prepared.
I hope you all had a wonderful day. Please be sure to PM me the number of days you stayed on plan! I've got Shay and Diva so far. Dont count yourself out please!! Have a great day! Watch those leftovers!! ~melissa |
Hi everyone,
I had a pretty good Thanksgiving. I hope everyone else did also. I ate more than I planned but did okay. I did exercise too so all in all not a bad day. Like Melissa I am trying to catch up on studying so I will be checking in during breaks throughout the weekend. |
No Turkey hangover, but definately a carb hangover. I haven't had THAT many carbs in what? 3 Weeks? I don't think I can take it anymore, LOL! My body was like WTH are you doing girl?! I'm sure I have prolly gained back a pound or 2 and I am thinking it really isn't worth it. The Stuffing and taters was lish, but I can so live w/out the pie. I'm feeling a lil' better today too so maybe tomorrow I can go for a walk or something. I don't wanna push the issue because whatever this is landed in my chest and I already have asthma so... Get this, I now have dude looking at how many carbs are in a serving of everything, LOL! I guess I am finally rubbing off on him, hehe! He is amazed at how many carbs they put in stuff. ;) Anyways, we are doing leftovers tonight, minus the pie for me and tomorrow I am strictly back on plan until Christmas!
Miss you all, I hope you had a lovely holiday and good luck with the studying! Don't fry your brains! :D |
Okay the studying didn't last long. I was planning for 3 2-hour sessions for today but I have only done one. Well it is still early. I can at least squeeze one more in if I get focused.
I've been doing a lot of thinking over this holiday weekend. I'm thinking I won't do the next TBL Challenge. I feel like it is a lot of pressure. Not pressure from the team but pressure I put on myself. The pressure leads to me eating more than I need to so I need to take a freebie this week. I was just so mad at myself for plateauing and now I have made it worse. I haven't gotten on the scale believe it or not. I don't think the mini goals and short term challenges work for me either. So I am going to focus on my ultimate goal of 120 pounds. Matter of fact I have started a challenge in the "Chicks Up for a Challenge" that the only goal is your ultimate one. That's where I need to focus. What does this all mean? I will definitely finish out this challenge, I will definitely post early and often in TBL Girls Chat Thread, and I will post in the show thread but I will not participate in the new challenge beginning in January. After this challenge ends I will not disappear. I am a woman of my word and that's why I felt it was very important to be very upfront with everyone. |
Good Morning everyone! Well today is back on plan for me...my goodness! I feel so ick! My dh decided to drag us all out yesterday, he's not one for just being a homebody. So we did a little walking around of the stores and tried to get our tree but its a bit early they dont have them all put out yet. Maybe today if we dont freeze our tushies off. Its only 15 degrees right now.
Big playoff game today for my Griz! We play Wofford...no idea where that is at! LOL! Shay...I can completely understand your decisions. Alot of times I think people tend to get too caught up in the "challenge" part of this and not just focus on their selves and the support that the group offers. And when more than half the group disappears even the support gets iffy. I think its fantastic that you are listening to yourself and you know what you need to do to succeed. You are going to do GREAT and get over that plateau I know you can do it! Diva...ugh the sugar in stuff...thats all those nasty carbs! LOL! Today I feel like I want to go back to doing lowcarb just because I was feeling so good being off the sugar, I worry that I wont be able to kick the sugar again on this other plan I'm heading into. My reasoning behind not doing lowcarb is that this time of year there are so many little things going on where being lowcarb gets pretty tough to stick to. And on lowcarb one little slipup puts you out of burn mode for a couple of days. Maybe I'm just trying to justify slipups to myself. Oye...didnt mean for this to be a journal entry to you LOL! Back on plan today my friend!! Shay, Bridgette, Roni and Leeda you girls should have a PM from me today! Okay, I'm off to have some oatmeal and do some homework before the crew gets up. Have a wonderful day everyone! ~melissa |
OMG, I know what you mean by the bad carbs. Funny I didn't 3 weeks ago, but now I do. I feel so icky. I have a carb/sugar hangover, my tummy is upset, I felt sick to my stomach earlier..UGH! Totally back on plan today. I can't take all the carbs anymore. I may just stay on plan through Christmas too. It's really not worth feeling so icky, yanno? I will indulge in fruits and stuff though...
I pm'ed the addy for ya too. K, off to go do a lil' Xmass & Food shopping. |
Good morning,
Thanks for the support Melissa. I am just too freaking competitive! I do work in recreation. That could explain it. Although the team has gotten smaller over time I have really connected with this group. I got on the scale this morning and of course it wasn't as bad as I made it out to be. Still I am happy to have taken the freebie and should be good to go for the next weigh in. Only 3 more with the extra week, right? Time flies. I never got back to studying. I need to get on it or I will be crying soon. I will force myself to do some today so I won't let myself get too behind. If I get on top of it today or even tomorrow (here I go, procrastinating again) I should be good to go. Next week and the following week I need to work on revising my paper. I gotta force myself outta this joint today to do some grocery shopping. I'm actually stocked up I just want to buy some ingredients for some recipes I want to try out. I'm trying not to get bored with my menus so I want to try some new things. I'm excited about that. BF loves that I'm trying new things. He loved the corn casserole. He also loves the fact that I can make great things in a healthy way. |
Hi girls! M don't kick my *** for not being here. :P I just surfaced to check on how you all were doing!
Nothing to report here I had a nice Thanksgiving at a friends house and ate the good food but fairly small portions. Should be down about 2 this week if everything stays where it should! :) I've been working nearly 24/7 when not sleeping or eating... I'm pretty burnt out already and I miss exercise, but two more weeks and I can get back to my normal routine. I sent in the check for that art show, so I'm definately doing it. I'm a bit nervous about having enough to sell for a 4 day show with so little notice, but it was the kind of thing I just couldn't say no to. Glad everyone had a good holiday! |
Good Morning girls! I've got to sit down today and figure out some menus for the next week. I'm thinking that with this weather being so frigid that soups would be great. Knocked off a little more of my pile of homework yesterday. My Griz lost by 1 point...so upsetting. More football today and I want to go get our tree if the kiddos will get up before the games start. Thats about all from me today! LOL!
Muse...its so good to hear from you! I'm glad you got to come up for air a little bit I know how busy you are right now. I hope all this hard work you are putting in makes you mounds of money at this next show! Shay...I think you are just doing so great! I can tell that you've really just made this your lifestyle. Yes its still work but you've really just figured out...this is how you have to live! Good luck with that grocery shopping, I need to do that too and I hate it!! Roni....feeling any better today? I can see it in my face that sugar already. I feel like my face is all puffy, really want that to go away! Sugar is the devil I tell ya! Okay everyone, I'm going to work on a little more homework till the crew rises and shines. Expecting more snow tomorrow night!!!! I'm gonna try not to get too excited for it since you never can trust those darn weather people or is it Mother Nature? LOL! Have a fabulous Sunday!! ~melissa |
I thought I felt better yesterday, but I guess I overdid it because I started feeling like poo again last night and this morning. I can't seem to shake the cough now...sigh... I know what ya mean about the sugar, it IS the debbil! LOL! I can see it in my face too. Totally back OP today for sure. I'm prolly gonna use my unofficial red team freebie week, lol!
Muse I am excited for you, I can't wait to hear how it goes! Well, I gotta sit here and think of a grocery plan for the week. Yesterday we only bought for 1 day. Have a great Sunday everyone. Smoooches!:hug: |
Okay since I am trying to get back on track I will begin posting my menus again.
Today's Menu BF--SB Breakfast wrap, yogurt, coffee with sf flavored creamer S--wheat thins L--Napa Valley Veggie Burger and Rice, Bean, and Sweet Corn Salad S--yogurt S--grapes D--Citrus Couscous Chicken Salad and soup WW--26+3 flex points=29 pts |
Hah! One of the 5 times I stepped on the scale today I was in the 220's. I can't even tell you how long its been since I've seen a 2 there (5-6 years?) and I've only even gotten that low once before. It's nice to be approaching new territory and finally feel some of the weight loss.
Okay so I'm really still in the 30's but it's nice to know it's around the corner. :) So besides menu planning what's everyone upto this week? |
100% Back on plan today and I feel somewhat better too. I do have to ask for prayer's for jesse's Daddy tonight. He has bleeding & swelling on his brain and will have surgery Tues or wednesday. They aren't sure what's causing this yet, but are treating his symtoms. He's in the ICU up in a N.E. PA Hospital and we may have to go up sometime this week. I'll post and let ya know. :(
Anywho, today's menu: Coffee w/Splenda and cream 1 cup of Milk 2 eggs, cheese and bacon omelette 2 Sausage links 100 Cal pack Baked skinless, boneless chicken breast Smothered in Mushrooms and cheese lima beans and baby carrots |

:carrot: |
WOOOHOOOO Roni!!! You rock girl! and you thought you had to use a freebie this week!! Excellent job and such an inspiration!
I'll be honest I've still not gotten back on plan and I'm moving in the wrong direction from those 220s!! But today is the day! I'm ready and darn it no more excuses!! Here's the menu for today: Breakfast: oatmeal, OJ and coffee Snack: almonds Lunch: veggie soup w/ 1 slice Ezekial bread, 1 TBSP peanutbutter snack: apple dinner: Teryaki chicken w/ broccoli and brown rice snack: SF pudding I need to put that all in fitday and see where it puts me. We put our tree up yesterday!!! So excited. My youngest and I went and chopped it down ourselves. Man was that hard! But so fun! Okay gotta get the kiddos rolling here! I'll be here doing homework all day so I'll be popping in and out on my study breaks. Hope to hear from everyone!! Have a great day! ~melissa |
Morning all!!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Well no lost for me I remained the same. This is a good thing because I can remeber the time when I would be up 5 Lbs. So I am thankful.

Well here is my menu for today: B - Oatmeal and a honeycrisp apple L- Salad with crabmeat. lettuce tomatoes, onions and a few jalepenos S- 1 bag 94% fat free microwave popcorn D - homemade chicken soup with lots of vegetables.

When I get there it will be the first time in a long time. I hope everyone has a great day. |
Just a quick reminder for y'all to get your weight's posted by deadline tonight. We have exactly 2 weeks left. :(
I so wish it didn't have to end, but over in the Lowcarb lifestyle forum, they are starting a month long (I believe) challenge. I am gonna do it with them too. I figure it'll be continued motivation to get me through til January when we do it here again. Here's the weekly chat thread if anyone is interested. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127743 |
Diva - that's awesome!

Aww Roni, you are so sweet, I'll totally be sad if we arent on the same team next time around. I think the one chat thread is gonna be good though. Cuz lets face it...how many times do we all read the other teams threads anyway? I know I do!
Okay I gotta go to class now, feels like forever since I've been to campus! LOL! ~melissa |
hehe I know I lurk on the other teams chat's, lol!
Have fun @ school! I'm about to go pick up M from School. :D |
Oh I just LOVE driving all the way over to campus, paying for parking, walking across campus in the freezing cold only to find out class has been cancelled! good times!!

Grrrrrrrrr I hate when that happens. It used to piss me off too gf because I have to drive 35 minutes or more to campus...when I used to go. I do miss school though. I gotta get the loan out of default and maybe I can go back next fall. Something to strive for. :D
