I'm new to 3FC but have been on a healthy lifestyle/weight loss path for almost a year now. I started at 132 last April and I'm hoping to drop to my goal weight of 100 by this April. (I'm 5"2 with a very very slight build, so 100 is a reasonable weight)
It's been a slow but very fulfilling journey so far and I'm looking forward to all the support groups and inspiring posts on here.
Anyone else here?
I found out I'm 116lb today! Can't remember ever being this weight! And I went shopping today and bought size 8 trousers! Very happy!
Bit worried though because my weight loss is mainly due to not being able to eat these last couple of weeks after my tonsillectomy. I lost 2lb before, and then a few pounds in this time. And my boyfriend is coming to visit this weekend so I know I'll be eating bad food with him! We'll see though. There's no time limit... I'll lose it eventually!
hey guys! Been 2 months since I started and I just found this thread! I'm 4 foot 11 and started at 125 about 6 months ago, got to 112 and regained to 116...currently at 107.9...my initial goal was to reach 107, but now I'm thinking 105 and maybe 103. I have a small frame and feel like that would be great.
I think the most frustrating part was the first few weeks...the first week I lost 3 lbs and then nothing for 2-3 weeks....but now it's been pretty easy since then. I have been eating roughly 1000-1200 cal a day, at the gym 4 times a week, burning about 500 cal per session. My husband also does bodybuilding so he's a great motivator and helps me a lot.
My goals are : Oct 31 - 105 lbs
Nov 30- 103 lbs
I may make it there faster or slower, but I know I'll get there.
Seriously, none of my friends (who are all taller than me) understand what 5 lbs does on my body - such a difference!
Wow, this is not a popular place! I'm hoping to break into the world of the 110's before too much longer... anyone else working their way here or working their way through?
Hi Kristi,
I was just thinking the same thing...
My goal is 100, I have 25 to shed, I'm thinking 6 months is realistic with hard work thought I'd love to do it faster... and sustain it!

Under 110 lbs would be nice, but I haven't seen that since before I started taking birth control pills for migraines.
I'm now 118-119 lbs and 11_ is fine
I was 110 about 5 years ago, and spent a lot of time at 108ish. At the moment, I would love to get to that 108 mark again and then just migrate to whatever feels/looks right. I can't believe that I'm this close to the 110's again though- honestly, mid 110's would make me super happy. I can't believe my body was hauling around 152 lbs of itself all the time. I have such tiny bone structure that it was NOT easy.
Jen, you are much taller so I am sure that range is just right.
Hi Kristi,
I completely hear you. Carrying around extra weight is exhausting. You notice once you drop it what a difference it makes. I am working toward the 110s and then 100 by the new year. I know that once I break 110 that will make a huge difference though. For now, breaking 120 will be my mini goal!
I started doing Tae Bo again (from the 90s!) lol... Its still in my muscle memory and I am hoping it will help.
119.7 this morning! I'm working my way down to just under 110. My "official goal" is 110, but I anticipate losing til I dip just below that and then switch to maintaining. Yay!! I'm about to head out of town tomorrow for a week and won't be back to my official scale until the next Sunday. I should be coming up to a bit of a whoosh, so here's hoping!
