3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hi All :)
My name is Elizabeth, I am 30 years old and am from North Alabama. I have been married 2 1/2 yrs to J, and have 2 stepgirls ages 6 & 4, and a son 9 months. Both J & I are overweight, and are on our way to losing it ! I am insulin resistant, have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and am just WAY overweight.

I would LOVE to make several Buddies via email, or here !! I have also created a new Thread in the Support forum called The Diet Journey of 2006 ~ 3FC Style !!! Come join in the fun !!! :hug: ;)

I stand at 5'3 (on a good day) and started out at 274 on January 1st, the start to the new, improved, healthier, sexier ME !!! :carrot:

Well one of my BIGGEST resolutions was to lose weight in 2006. Plus my husband gave me a kick butt incentive !! :D

He told me that if I would lose 75% of my goal weight by November ~ We would go on a 7 day cruise of my choice!! How could I not be willing even more for that WOOHOO !!! :love:

So here's some of what I am doing:

1. Giving up sugar (which I've already done, thank the lord for Splenda)

2. Giving up caffeine & only drinking one soda a day (if that)

3. Exercising at least 30 mins at day (work in progress)

4. Allowing myself only 1250-1300 calories a day ! (currently doing)

WHY do I want to do this ?

1. So I can be around to see my son, my step-daughters and future children grow up and have families.

2. To be more healthy !

3. To look and FEEL sexy :)

And of course there are a billion more I could put !!

So that's what I am doing. . . I am really TRYING hard and so far I've lost 11 lbs since January 1st!! :D

I would love to be here for anyone, and look forward to being a part of the 3FC Community !!!

Let's share in the journey. . . :grouphug:
