Just another Fat Chick on a diet!
 

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the whole forum thing, but I am already really excited about joining this site. I was originally attracted because I was doing some research on Chalean Extreme, and the forum had a lot of helpful info on it.

I'm in my early 20's and I live in South Florida. I've been dieting for what feels like forever, and I'm ready to make a change! I'm currently reading Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel, and it's helping me change the way I look at food. I'm also into Cook Yourself Thin. If you know of threads that are discussing either of these topics, please let me know!

In the past I've done Weight Watchers, LA Weightloss, Atkins, Sugar Busters, South Beach, and 6 week Body Makeover. I have tons of videos, including Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, 10 minute Trainer, Core Rhythms, and my first ever work out video I got when I was 12 years old, Dance Workout with Barbie. I also went through a really big Belly Dancing kick.

Right now I'm practicing Iyengar Yoga, which I love. I'm glad to join you all here in the forum, and I look forward to dropping pounds with all of you!

hi and welcome, it sounds like you have the right tools to do this!

Thank you for the welcome Savora!

:welcome: Glad you joined! I love Iyengar Yoga as well! (DIL is a certified instructor).

Post often! I can't wait to get to know you better :D

Sounds like you have the appropriate tools to succeed!! Good luck to you and I guess we will see you around the forum.

BTW I am in love with Cook Yourself Thin! It is just the greatest thing, I want their cookbook!

Welcome to 3fc! Surf around and settle in! We have forums based on age, eating plan, exercise and more! I'm glad you're here! :wave:

Be sure to check out the 20 something forum!

Thanks so much! I started yoga in February... i was definitely dragged there... but now I'm addicted. I'm trying to figure out how to do a home practice, because I want to do it more than once a week. I just got Iyengar's Light on Yoga, but that book will take me a few years to read through. I look forward to posting with you!

Yes, I adore Cook Yourself Thin. I bought the cook book, but all of the recipes are the same ones on the show, and I think by the end of the season they may go through all of them. I made the buffalo chicken salad, and it was so yummy. Even my boyfriend and brother liked it. I think they have alot of their recipes on their website, so you could get started there!

Thank you for the welcome! I'm learning my way around, and I've already got myself settled in the Chalean Extreme forum. I start tomorrow! It's so nice to have all of this inspiration and weightloss around for motivation!

You can do it!! Stay positive and u will prosper! WELCOME!..I'm a new fat chick too!

I agree cutebear, its definitely all about the attitude. Welcome to you too, we're already on our way to being former fat chicks, haha!

HI skinnivivi. I live around u. Nice to meet u and good luck.

Hi there and welcome!
It's great to have you here, make yourself at home!

Nice to meet you too! The summer's here, we've got to get our beach bodies ready :beach:

Wow Sarah, you've almost reached your goal! Congratulations on your success! :bravo:

Hey all!

I, too, am new to this site. I joined the Chalean Extreme thread recently, but it doesn't seem that anyone else uses it anymore :( I was SO looking forward to having a support system when I start the program Aug 1! Oh well. I have been doing Turbo Jam religiously for 4 months now, and have lost 40 lbs and 22 inches from my body overall. YAY! I am just IN LOVE with Chalene, and am so excited to try her new system. I started at 210, and am aiming for 130 - one of these days. I think the last time I weighed that was in 7th grade, so this will be a challenge. LOL

Hope everyone is finding success and happiness!!
