Hello I'm new!
Hello from Minya in Arizona! I stumbled on this website by accident while looking for support and tips on my weight loss goals. I, like many have tried every diet out there and finally I am settling with good ole fashion diet and exercise.
What happened to me in the past three years was rough regarding my weight. I got to my heaviest point of 275 and I wanted to kill myself. But, my fiancee held me together and I joined a curves gym, successfully losing about 20 pounds. :) Afterwards when money was tighter, I went to weight watchers to drop some more and found that it wasn't so bad. I lost around 30 pounds there. And both of these successes led up to my wedding, which my pictures were gorgeous no matter what. :D But now I'm currently trying to lose more, after the 4th of July, I noticed i regained 10 pounds and I freaked out O_O so that's when I decided that I needed to get more than 55 pounds off. So, I just started doing the 30 day shred everyone is talking about and a super strict diet and already dropped 10 pounds in six days!! XD Now I just the support of other people who are just like me! Trying to get to their goals. |

Hi Minya- I'm a newbie too. Congrats on your weight loss, and I hope the support here will help you towards your end goal.

Thanks you guys, I really am going to need the support now XD, I made the mistake of eating out at paradise bakery today and i'm nuts at the moment while keeping my journal and the menu seemed safe. But when I got home I couldn't find the calories of the unsweetened peach tree I drank O_O nor the calorie count for the tablespoon of chipotle dressing !! I have a bad feeling about it XD

Hello, Welcome to 3FC. Congrats on your 50+ pounds lost. That is great!
I sure hope your "super-strict" diet is something you can live with for a long time... There is a reason many are called "crash" diets. ;) What kind of plan are you following? |
Thanks Pnut butter! love the name btw!
Lori Bell, here's an example of one day of food I've eaten: measured and calorie counted- Breakfast: cereal with soymilk - 240 calories Vitamins: 2 women's formula and 1 flax seed oil - 10 calories Lunch: 2 slices of whole wheat bread with hummus and grapes - 250 calories Snack: banana 110 calories 1 serving of mixed veggies 25 calories hummus - 50 calories Dinner: veggie patty 100 calories wheat bread (2 pieces) - 100 calories bbq sauce (open pt) - 45 calories Dessert : sliced banana 110 calories 2 sliced strawberries 17 -ish calories one tablespoon of semi sweet choc chips - 70 calories I had left over calories plus extras from my workout :) so I ate a small bowl of cereal 120 cals and soymilk at 120 cals. This day put me just under 1400 calories and I seemed to have eaten alot. XD Sometimes I go over my allowed calories because I'll eat bagels still and go to subway, i get the veggie sub with oil and vinegar, thats about 505 calories for a footlong :D and I split it up for two meals. Plus my love for choc chip cookies gets the better of me, like the one I had yesterday, it had 300 cals in it O_O it was a good thing i only ate half of it. I went over budget by a few calories. So eating out is still my weakness, but if I can keep within my 1400 calorie budget, or close to it i can still eat out. :) |
