Good idea!!


Day 1: Your stats - 28yrs, 84.3kg (185.8lb)
Day 2: How tall are you? Do you like your height? - Just under 5'5" - it's okay, a bit taller would be handy
Day 3: A photo of your inspiration. What do you like about this? I don't know how to do photos but my weird inspiration for now is buying smaller work pants - I have no idea why!!! I just really want to wear smaller pants to work!!
Day 4: Your greatest fears about weight loss. That it won't happen and the scales will just keep going up and up...
Day 5: Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing it for you?I want to look good in a pair of jeans, feel healthy and be able to exercise without feeling like I'm dying!! I'm definitely doing it for me.
Day 6: Do you binge? If so explain why you think you do.I used to and sometimes I feel tempted to, but I resist better these days...
Day 7: Does anyone (like a loved one) know your trying to lose weight? If so are they supportive in the right ways? My partner is really supportive and my mum. I should have put my mum as my inspiration too actually!! She lost pretty much half her body weight so that's pretty inspirational! My workmates know too, I think they're pretty impressed I've resisted eating the chocolate on the counter at work!!!
Day 8: Your workout routine I don't really have one right now... I'm hoping to get back into my dancing shortly now that my financial situation is getting a bit easier. I'm also hoping that as some of the weight comes off it will become easier to exercise as I won't feel so HEAVY
Day 9: Do people ever make comments about your weight in a negative way? If so feel free to vent!Not exactly but it's rough looking at your skinny friends and knowing you're twice the size of them. My Nana makes a comment now and then... I know she's not really doing it to be mean, but it's hard if people point it out.
Day 10: What is the hardest thing you are giving up in your weight loss journey?probably wine and chocolate... and pasta and pizza... I love carbs!!!!
Day 11: Whats your favorite thread on here and why?the daily challenge threads keep me accontable!!
Day 12: What do you love to eat on your diet tracklots of variety, really enjoying trying new recipes
Day 13: Are you losing weight in a healthy way? Or unhealthy (crash diets, not eating right ect)definitely healthy, lots of fruit, veggies and meat
Day 14: Whats your Ultimate Goal Weight? When do you expect to reach it? 65kg (143lb). I have no idea when I'll reach it... hopefully within a year!
Day 15: Are you vegan or vegetarian? If so has this helped you? If not would you ever consider it?Nooooo!! I like meat!
Day 16: When did you first decide to lose weight? What made you have that aha moment?I have always wanted to lose weight... but the weight is creeping up and I really need to do something about it now
Day 17: What is your most liked exercise? Most hated?belly dancing is my most liked... running would be my most hated!
Day 18: What food is your weakness?pizza, pasta, bread.. love carbs
Day 19: What do you think of when you are having a hard time pushing through your workout?not really working out at the moment hope to change that soon
Day 20: Favorite diet type?where I don't have to feel hungry but still losing weight
Day 21: What was your highest clothing size?size 16
Day 22: What was your lowest weight? How and why did you gain?57kg which is tinyyy for me. I lost because of a relationship breakup which meant it wasn't really a sustainable weight loss. I ended up getting into a bad relationship which I was very unhappy in and ate emotionally
Day 23: What excites you most about reaching your goal weight?smaller work pants! Weird but true!
Day 24: How do you deal with being around tempting foods?keep thinking "it's not on my plan, it's not on my plan!"
Day 25: What is your favorite body part? How would you feel if it changed from your weight loss? my boobs! and they're going to disappear when I lose weight it's the only thing I will be sad about when I lose weight... being fat gave me boobs! But darn it... flat chest, here I come!
Day 26: Your definition of beauty? serene face and kind words and heart
Day 27: 5 facts about you!I'm a vet nurse, engaged (yay!), a belly dancer, like to travel, determined to lose weight!
Day 28: What are your stats 28 days later? 82.2kg (181lb = 4.6lb lost!)

Sorry for the lack of update till now. Just got home. at 5am -.-

[Jennifer1966]

Day 1: 46 years old and 168.6 lbs
Day 2: 5'4" and I'd like to be 5'6" or 7"
Day 3: My children inspire me. I want to be around to watch them have their own families, and I want to be active and fit. We like to hike, bike, swim, etc. and I don't want to tire easily. Plus, I want to look good in a swimsuit. (Now let's see if I can get a photo from my phone!)
Day 4: My biggest fear about weight loss is that my loose skin will look horrendous, and I won't be able to afford a tummy tuck for a while. I'm also afraid my face will look older as I lose more. (Wow, my fears are vain!)
Day 5: I honestly want to lose the weight so I look good. Of course there are lots of reasons (health, fitness, kids), but appearance is main one.
Day 6: I don't really binge, but I can have portion control issues. Especially with baked goods and chocolate.
Day 7: My DH and kids know, and they are super supportive. DH walks with me and will cook healthy food for us. They all tell me regularly how good I look.
Day 8: For the last month or so DH and I haven walked 3.5-4 miles about 5x a week. Today I added a 30 day fitness challenge that incorporates squats, planks, crunches and push ups! I'm hoping I can make the 30 days!
Day 9: The only person who has ever commented negatively on my weight is my dad, and he hasn't for a couple of years. I guess I'm lucky that people haven't said anything, but at my highest in January, my self-loathing was just as bad.
Day 10: Not to be redundant with Day 6, but baked goods and chocolate (especially chocolate baked goods!). I haven't given them up completely, but boy do I eat waaaay less!
Day 11: I really love all the threads, but the 2 I write the most on (and know the people the best) are the 40-Something's mini challenges and <<getting to 160>>. Of course, I also really like all the challenges I'm involved with, etc. These threads are so important to me and have helped immensely on my weight loss journey!!
Day 12: Hmm, this is a hard one. I really don't limit myself to anything, but when I'm actually being strict on my eating plan, I enjoy blueberries and fat-free cool whip! I am pretty much stalled in my loss right now, so I have to get back to much stricter eating.

We have something in common. Baked goods and chocolate are my downfalls too. Beautiful children, BTW...you must be very proud.

[makayla94]

This is my first post on this forum! YAY!

1. 5'8" 223Lbs.

[tehshort1]

This seems fun!

Day 1 I am 26 years old and I currently am 157.2 and dropping!
Day 2: I am 5'1"....okay so technically I'm 5' 0.25" but who's counting!
Day 3: My inspiration is Alex Kingston who plays River Song from Doctor Who. She is strong and smart and so hot! I think she looks awesome!
Day 4: My greatest fear with weight loss is that once I reach my goal weight I will still not be happy and comfortable enough to be "myself" and show that to others.
Day 5: Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing it for you?
Day 6: I do not really binge. I will sometimes treat myself to a "normal meal" at a restaurant, but I don't go crazy.
Day 7: Everyone knows I am trying to lose weight. I tell my friends, family, co-workers, neighbors etc. I feel this keeps me honest and accountable. Since everyone knows I CAN"T let myself fall back into bad habits. Everyone has been so supportive and I am so very grateful to them. They ask we what I am doing and help me on my weak days. I've had co-workers bring in pizza and donuts and they will actually bring a healthy alternative for me. So thoughtful!
Day 8: I don't have a set workout routine. I try to change it up alot so that I work out different areas. I walk as much as possible, swim, hula hoop, try different videos, etc. Variety is the spice of life!
Day 9: I'm pretty lucky that people have not made negative comments regarding my weight. The only comments are that I'm "disappearing" lol.
Day 10: The hardest thing I am giving up is my love of snack foods and cookies. Oreos, chips ahoy, etc. I used to eat a box of them in one sitting!
Day 11: I don't have a favorite thread. I love reading them all and getting inspired by everyone's success!
Day 12: What do you love to eat on your diet track
Day 13: Are you losing weight in a healthy way? Or unhealthy (crash diets, not eating right ect)
Day 14: Whats your Ultimate Goal Weight? When do you expect to reach it?
Day 15: Are you vegan or vegetarian? If so has this helped you? If not would you ever consider it?
Day 16: When did you first decide to lose weight? What made you have that aha moment?

Day 18: What food is your weakness?
Day 19: What do you think of when you are having a hard time pushing through your workout?
Day 20: Favorite diet type?
Day 21: What was your highest clothing size? DONT HAVE TO ANSWER THAT IF YOUR NOT COMFORTABLE. INSTEAD TELL US WHAT YOUR FEEL GOOD OUTFIT IS.
Day 22: What was your lowest weight? How and why did you gain?
Day 23:What excites you most about reaching your goal weight?
Day 24: How do you deal with being around tempting foods?
Day 25: What is your favorite body part? How would you feel if it changed from your weight loss?
Day 26: Your definition of beauty?
Day 27: 5 facts about you!
Day 28: What your your stats 28 days later?

[Dumplin]

This is fun !

Day 1: 51 years young ( and getting smaller everyday )
Day 2: I'm 5'5" and fine with that .
Day 3: I don't have an inspiration photo. I find inspiration in random things , clothes , and people . I get inspired by the people here on 3FC daily, my daughter who is so proud of me as I am very proud of her .
Day 4: my biggest fears about weight loss are the same as my biggest fears in everything I do = FAILURE! I'm an all-or-nothing perfectionist kind of personality. I fear if things slow down I'll quit.
Day 5: I always wanted to lose weight to look and feel better then it became a diabetic decision for sure ! Now got that in control just want to keep going to trim the tummy down a little more

What a terrific attitude...good for you!
