Hi, I am new to 3 Fat Chicks. Think it's awesome that there is such a great support system in place like this. I am Carma. 41 yrs old. Started out the year weighing in at 253.2lbs and am down to 225.4lbs. I have been losing weight using a calorie counting app but find myself in a bit of an uninspired rut. I need to kick up my exercise level. Currently averaging around 3-5 30-45 minute workouts. Taking in for calories around 1800 on average. How is everyone else doing it?
Hi Carma! Welcome to 3FC! You are going to love it here!
Congratulations on your weightloss so far, you are doing great!
There is lots of inspiration and motivation on this site. Check out the exercise forum, there are a lot of good ideas in there. I exercise every day but it's only because I'm both obsessed and too afraid to stop for even one day in case I don't start up again.
Hi carma! I'm new to 3FC also. I wish you much success in your weight loss goals. I'm so happy to have found this forum. It is great to be able to talk to and share with so many great people. One of my favorite quotes is " every obstical you overcome is a stepping stone on your path to greatness". That helps keep me motivated. Good luck!
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am lucky that where I work is a healthy area. My coworker is a personal trainer/exercise physiologist and is always asking me if I have gotten weights.
I noticed your an RN too. I'm lucky in that way too. I share my office with an RD so having a nutritionist to talk to all day is a big help. Then of course you have all the cookies and cakes that are given with the best of intentions by the patients and families. We will all reach our goal. Stay positive!
Hello I'm new too!! I'm from Australia, and have lost 33.1 kg (72.something lbs). I decided I need more motivation, so I joined this place, hoping to make some new friends, give and get support
Well done on your weight loss so far, you must be wrapped!!
Hi Happyone,
Glad you joined the group too. I am loving it so far. One day I would like to go to Australia. I do have an aunt that lives there. She is down in Adelaide area. One day. Maybe I will reward myself with a trip there when I reach my goal weight.
Hello all weight losers to be!!!!!
