Hey Everyone:
Here is the latest chart. Congrats to everyone for your accomplishments!

For some reason, something went goofy with my weigh-in from the prior week, so I had to make a correction (just noticed it). I've had a problem with Google Doc's in the past, so I try to refresh the screen, after I make an entry. Even then, I've had something disappear before.

If anyone else notices a mistake, and their weigh-in didn't record properly, post about it. If possible, I can make a correction.

Hey Munchey! I love all the little spread sheets you've got going. Those are so much fun and motivating too! :D I had fun exploring them today and I added a few goals for myself. Thank you!

I changed my weight loss goal to 169.8. Hey why not dream?
I added in a personal goal to stop eating 3 hours before bedtime. Gotta allow my brain to stop working so hard before sleeping.

Having kind of a tired day today and wondering why I don't make myself go take a nap? I can but I'm fighting it . . .

A short 20-30 minute nap can be worth while and give you a recharge for the rest of the day. I've heard that some people have a little coffee just before a short nap. I guess the coffee kicks in, within the 20-30 minutes and can be very energizing.

Hey. Well, I had had a bit of a whoosh the past few days and am down 2.4lbs since the last weigh in . Hoping it sticks. No hoping it keeps to fall off. Go away fat. Shooo. Down the drain you go.

Thanks for doing this. It is fun and motivational!

GrannyNancy:

I'm glad the scale is moving downward. Good job! Most often, the scale catches up with good behavior.

First of all I would like to thank both Munchey and GrannyNancy for your comments regarding your cars' "marks of character." I have an appointment to get the bumper replaced and will suck up and pay the $500 deductible. Target could not identify the hit and run driver via the security tapes. You are right.. it is only a car...

On a good note I lost 2 pounds this week by being aware of what I was eating and more importantly, why!

We still have plenty of time to make a "dent" (haha) in our weight loss goals!!! Good luck, everyone!

Oh Joyce. Oh Groan. Baaaaad.

Munchey, it was on this forum, I learned about the "whoosh" effect -- I always unlearn it when bad things happen but it is true that sometimes your body just holds onto that water for awhile

munchey thanks for the nap advice! I am going to definitely give that a try. I love coffee! So any excuse to drink it. I did end up taking a nap both yesterday and today. I remembered that it's winter and sleeping more in the winter actually helps with weight loss.

Good day yesterday!
 

A good day yesterday, must try to press on to get back on track... good luck with the home stretch of week 3 all! :carrot::carrot:

Hi everyone. I hope it's not too late to join. I lost 45 lbs and have gained 19 pounds back. I have an ongoing battle with depression and the last 6 months have been difficult and I have fallen off the wagon. I am going to make an effort to lose the 19 pounds I have gained and thought joining a challenge may hel to motivate me.

I hope everyone reaches their year end goals.

Everyone ~ It is December! We've got 31 days to make progress towards our goal.

I turned my wall calendar and it is a brand new slate! Let's keep our eating plan fresh and exciting without the impromptu indulgences.

Yes, that is my daily goal: remember that word:

im·promp·tu
done without being planned, organized, or rehearsed.
synonyms: unrehearsed, unprepared, unscripted, extempore, extemporized, extemporaneous, improvised, spontaneous, unplanned;

Hey guys,

I'm unfortunately going to drop out of this challenge. I thought perhaps I could deal with being a participant rather than running a challenge, but turns out I'm made of weak stuff!

I've got a lot going on in life, essentially trying to make ends meet. Trying to stay consistent with exercise and eating healthy is still a priority, but not something I can spend too much time thinking about. When I'm at a point in my life when things aren't so stressful, I will be back to 3FC, but for now I think I need to step away from the forum and focus on myself "solo" so to speak. I had great success on the forums once before; it really was a place I could come to to be proud of myself, and to give and receive support. Right now I feel this overwhelming sense of guilt when it comes to checking in, especially when I don't have the time to catch up with everyone. I'm sorry for stepping away, but I think overall this is the best decision I can make for myself.

Before I go, I wanna say thank you to everyone who has taken a moment out of their day to support me. Your kind words mean the world to me, truly. I wish you all the very best on your weight loss journey, hopefully by the time I'm ready to rejoin the action you'll be closer to your goals or even better - maintaining your ideal weight.

Thank you and good luck!

Riestrella ~ I know exactly how you feel...do whatever it takes to nurture yourself. I will miss you.

Hi flower, good to see you, it's been a while. Hopefully we can motivate each other. Depression is a hard thing to deal with, I get winter sad & have up and down days. It's more challenging to stay motivated, but I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. ;) WELCOME BACK!

Riestrella, It sounds like a good time to take a break from 3fc's, but am hoping to see your beautiful presence in the future. Take care.

Well I am staying even this week, so must eat less or exercise more. I know I could improve my exercise and hoping to get outside today for a cold brief walk.

:dust: to All.
