Thank you for the link to the running challenge....I am going to start it today...I will let you guys know how it goes!!!

Good Morning Girls,

I 've been MIA about posting my weight, the past few mornings have been hectic. However, I am still at 151 but guess what.......


I actually fit into a size 10 shorts this morning, and granted they are probably more like a 12 but going from only fitting into a 14 for the last 4 years IT FEELS GREAT!!!!!!!:carrot::carrot::carrot:

This that Great Buns workout and Thin Thighs Guarenteed really is working!!!

So my stats are SW- 154
CW- 151
GW -149

Congrats, Mercer - that's awesome!

Wow congrats on all the losses!!! Looks like everyone is being a big loser!

Mercermom....I love your pic!! Such a cute family!!!

Hey...anybody need a little motivation for this challenge???? I got to lookin' around and reading some of the past 5 lb challenges...and I've seen some amazing changes!!!!!

Tyler Durdin - aka Josephine -

Do you realize that for 5 lb challenge #8 ( which was 9 challenges ago...started on May 8...which was only about 2 months ago...a little over 2 months) anyways for challenge # 8 your start weight was 185.8 and goal ws 180.8!!!!!!! Now you are at 153....HOLY CRAP!!!!! That is 32.8 lbs in a little over 2 months!!!!! That's about 3.4 lbs a week for 9,7 weeks!!!!! You go girl!!

So point is...if anyone feels like they are in a slump....or needs a bit of motivation.....look back to some of the old challenges and see where you came from....remember how you felt....and be proud of your accomplishments!!! And then go bust a move so you can lose more!!! :D

LOL, yes, these challenges have been VERY good to me, very motivating. 3FC overall has been great for me, I've lost -54.8 pounds in 17 weeks. I have NO complaints! ;)

Good for you Mercer for getting into a 10 that must feel great and just think you will be in single digit shorts in no time flat!

Josephine-that is soooooo awesome! I can only hope that I can continue to lose weight so I can be where you are. I was around 205 after giving birth to my 3rd and my goal is around 140 give or take a few so you are my inspiration to keep going because it can be done! thank you

Josephine - That is sooo great! :bravo: I'm so happy for you!!! :D

That motivated me to no end today! I know I get a little down when the scale doesn't reflect all my hard work! But we really have to look at it like this....its just one day...or one week...that didn't reflect my hard work...but if I stick with it...day after day after day...before you know it I will be like Josephine and be 30 lbs down before you know it and then 50 lbs...etc...etc....

This site and you ladies are so great! Thanks for the extra motivation today Josephine!!! :hug:

Hi Losers!
start 138
current 135.5 (2.5 to go!)
goal 133

I've actually been putting in some effort! My WW Weigh in is tomorrow, and that is the weight I put on my tracker, but for this challenge, I've been using my home scale, so here goes!
SW 154
CW 151
GW 149 2 pounds left!!!

jessacaca - I stayed at 247 to 248 pretty much all week last week and I didn't cheat any on food and I worked out every single day!!! I was sooo frustrated Monday! But I got a nice little whoosh and today I weighed in at 245. Are you keeping a food/exercise journal? If you are not, I would suggest starting one....the free blogs offered here at 3FC are cool that is what I'm using.....I looked back on mine and seen that I kind of cut my workouts down a little last week. I took them back up Monday and I have already lost 2 lbs.

Review what you have been doing...make sure your honest...and stick with it....a nice whoosh may be in your future!!

:(:devil::(:devil:

What's the deal!!

I am up a pound this morning!
I have been at 151 for a couple of days, I am working out everyday and....

I moved my calories allowance to 1350 it had been at 1400 I was able to do that yesterday and actually went to bed with calories to spare. Plus something I never do....I drank seven of my eight glasses of water!!!!

I'm down .5, but only after getting on the scale half a dozen times, till it finally showed a loss.

Mercermom-I can almost accept weight gain if I haven't been on plan, but it's AWFUL when you've done everything right and you still gain weight. Hang in there; it'll come off and take a friend or two.


Have a great day, everyone!!

:lol: Well, I am a 20-something, but I'm not trying to make it a pickup joint, believe me. Unless the guys there are into the extremely red-faced look. :lol: Kidding. I haven't tried any of the group classes yet, but I might give some a try. I do like that there are people of every shape and size there just trying to get healthy... Isn't that the point of a gym, after all?

Congrats on 15 down, Melissa!

Miriam, I am right there with you on the scale FINALLY moving.

SW: 154
CW: 152.8
GW: 149

I want the 140's SO BAD. But right now I will settle for 152.0, as that will put me at 25 down and halfway to goal! :crossed: Maybe within the next few days? You never know with TOM though... I'm just going to add my usual "UGHHHHH TOM" for emphasis. :lol:

JKS - Thanks :D

Mercermom - Maybe you have gained some muscle? That muscle should start burning some fat soon if so? I think when we maintain for a while and then gain thats whats going on..muscle is building and before you know it we have a pound of muscle. Then we have a whoosh cause that muscle starts killin' fat :D LOL....maybe its sodium...or too many carbs....???? Could be so many things....I find when I take my multi-vitamin I lose weight better...not sure why. I take One a Day Women's Vitamin...there is also a One a Day Weight Loss Vitamin. Also.....consider this..... 8 oz of water weighs 8 oz ( I weighed it this morning cause I wasn't sure if 8 fl. oz. would weigh 8 oz but it does) If you drank 7 - 8 oz glasses of water that is 3 and 1/2 lbs.....maybe some of it is water weight....but if so...you should get a good whoosh soon...no matter what if you stick with it the scale has to go down at some point!

Don't be discouraged, Mercermom - it happens to everyone. Sometimes the body just feels like grabbing on to the extra water weight. When I first started weight training, I gained three pounds and was furious, but eventually it whooshed off.

I'm a 20 something too but definitely not into the pickup scene! My Y is great. All different colors, sexes and sizes.

Oh it's so slow! I have been the same for a few days but have dropped a tiny bit this morning.

Josephine - Yayyyy...glad for your move even if it is slight!!! Its that much closer to the 140's!! :D :congrat:

Miriam - Way to stick it out! Man....I know where you are right now...last week the scale didn't move a bit....it went back and forth from 247 to 248...but I stuck it out and I'm getting a WHOOSH this week! I'm glad I stuck it out and didn't get discouraged and quit!!! I'm glad you stuck it out too!!!! :cheer:

Kittycat - only 1/2 a pound to go!!! Work extra hard today...you could take it home for us tomorrow!!! :goodluck:


To all the losers :cheer: keep up the good work!!! To all the maintainers :wl: stick it out.....keep pushing even though your frustrated...work a little harder....you'll get your whoosh!!!

As for me...down another pound today!!!! I can't believe it. You guys are so great....I can't tell you how many "diets" I have been on before. As soon as I didn't see what I wanted to on the scale I quit....went out to eat and ate the biggest meal I could....and quit working out!!! Of course all the weight came back very fast! I would always get soooo mad....now I see if I just would have stuck it out it would have come off and then some! I'm glad I have found this site!

You know Melissa, I needed the support more than anything else. Seeing everyone in the same boat and the encouragement and kind words I've gotten here is worth more than anything in the world.

Congrats on the 140s, Miriam! Can't wait to join you. :)

Congrats to all our losers! I am having a SLOW challenge, but slow is better than nothing, right?
