Hi~! Good deal... we need the challenge! I don't
 

know about Facebook..... maybe it's just me, but I don't even see how to really get around in there........ any hints? I'll take another look.:dizzy:

OK guys - I weighed in today - I was going to wait a week, and couldn't stand it anymore, so I'll post this today.

Down 6 lbs!

Cecilia - we used to call it BNWI - Bare Naked Weigh In! Nicole and Katie should remember those days.

Hey gang..

Well, I need to do something different... Got on the scale today and showed only the slightest difference.. At least it wasn't up! I've been really good the last two days and have been drinking all my water.. I figured I'd at least show some water weight loss.. Grrrrr..

Blue.. You'll get the hang of Facebook... It's a lot of fun and there are lots of little distractions.. But please, everyone, don't send me any fish or plants! FB'ers know what I mean by that!

If we can all agree to a FB group name, I'll volunteer to set it up.

Allright, I got a battery in my scale and weighed. First it said 229, then I tried again to be sure and it said 232, so I had my daughter weigh to make sure it was calibrated, and my weight jumped to 237, over and over and over again. So, dammit, I am taking 237 as my start weight. I am going to count calories and get in a ton of water every day and see how we do.

I hear you on the fish and plants! and the other crap. mine built up to over 100 and I just hit ignore all.

But I will have to admit, I am getting a little addicted to the "flare" go to my profile and scroll through some of mine, you will see what I mean. plus you can make your own. two of mine on there I have made.

Love the idea of a FB group!! and with LAWL becoming a dinosaur for most people here. it is beginning to seem silly to call our thread that.

Somebody choose a name for the group and I am in!

Okay, I want to be friends with everyone too!! Add me on FB please? [email protected]

I added you Kim!

Why not call it what it is?? 3 Fat Chicks!

Oh, hysterical!!!! People keep sending me this crap and I ignore it all! I barely have time to check out everyone's status and such - how do they find the time to do the fish/elves/plants/christmas ornament thing????

No worries Dan - the only thing I will send are words. Funny ones, encouraging ones, etc....

Katie - welcome to the "Oh crap, is that really the number" club. The good thing is that there are a lot of cool members (All of US!)

I am not sure we can really use "3 fat chicks" isn't that some kind of infringement..... what say you Lawyer Amy?


Also, I would like us to have our own identity. 3 fat chicks is great and has been good to us for a long time, but if we want that we can come here. this will be something new..

just some thoughts

Keep me posted on the name of the group - I occasionally get on FB, I'm really new at it. Perhaps "3FC and 1 dude" - but we may have to add the "fat" in the dude part also - no offense Dan, but if we gotta be called fat, so do you!

Names? K..... how about "2009 - 20 at a time" or "Dejavu" (like we all haven't been on a diet forever, lol) or "No Excuses" .........or hehe... "Mixed Nuts" lol! Heck, I'm suggesting but I don't even know what kind of names they have....... so, feel free to ignore me, lol!

WOOHOO Kimphin! You go girl!!! Is that just since Monday???!!!

HMMMPH! I think I'd take that battery out and try it again, lol! Those weights sound like my DH taking his blood sugar in the mornings...... it's never the same and you don't know what to believe!

Yes, but bear in mind that I was having a smooch-fest with hershey kisses prior!

I've been totally off added sugar and caffeine since Monday too. You can hardly see the tremors today....

ok, here is a whole other thought on the idea, weight loss is about more than calories, water and exercise. it is affected by everything in our lives. our relationships, our mood, our finances, where we live, what we do, what the weather is.... on and on and on..... LAWL- 3fatchicks.... is here to focus on mostly one component, LAWL plan. and we do a great job of keeping that alive even if the company stank at it! but I would like to propose that a FB group would encompass more than that. we would get to know each other a little deeper, seeing pictures and sharing more personal things. .. and that would help us incorporate weight loss into all facets of our lives, which in turn would, I think, make us more successful and our weight loss permanent. so, in saying that, I think we need to separate ourselves from 3fatchicks and LAWL. if we want to start something new, lets make it new..... heck we could be the next hot thing on the web!

I would love a name that is empowering and more positive. Yes Lettie, it looks like 3FC is a registered trademark, but I don't think anyone is going to come after us (but you never know). I'm drawing a blank on names but I agree it should be completely different!

I agree Lettie - I don't want to step on what Suzanne and Co. have done here at 3FC - because it has been great. I like the idea of being all-encompassing supportive to each other on FB.

Plus, I can't login to FB from work- boo hoo. So, I hope that everyone still checks in here!

Yes! Me either, I can't log in to Facebook at work either. So we cannot abondon 3FC!

I'm in the same boat from work, so no danger of me leaving here either!

As for a FB name... Losers and Friends? :lol:

Outside the context of 3FC, that probably wouldn't work, so maybe not.... I'm in a funk at the moment, creatively, so I'll have to think some more...

So I like FB and all....but I will always remain faithful to 3FC. I love this forum......I love all the positive energy. That being said......I am all over adding a FB group......how super fun :) As for names.....this is a time we need Kristin......she is quite creative.......do you all recall our fatty greeting cards and t-shirts? good times, good times. I am sooo excited to WI tomorrow :)
XOXO
P.S. workign on a name for FB.....how about Fatties gone wild? LOL

ROTFLMBO!!!

I am thinking something that projects where we want to be not so much where we are...... skinny something...... but I am brain dead too.... I know we can come up with something.... lets just give it a few days.

Wow! Way to go Kim...:carrot:

As for a FB group name:

Life Changers: Revamping lifestyles for better health

LOL, I know, I know...boring! :lol:

Ok, 3FC was JUST a suggestion!

I think we should keep LAWL in there somewhere... may be gone but not forgotten! How about something along those lines???

LA Weightloss Compadres: Lost but not Forgotten????

Haha, I mean GONE but not forgotten.

Or chapter 13 but not forgotten... hahah!!

Ok. So how do I find all of you on FB?

you can search by name or email.

Mine is [email protected]

Down 3lbs. today!!!! Woot!

I'm with everyone else about logging on from work... if I couldn't logon from work you guys would hardly see me!

My vote for a FB group name is : Through Thick and Thin

How about

The Group outside the Coop?

Or, The Group that flew the Coop?

lol, I love all the names :) Going to go change my ticker now......and I kicked some b utt this week :)
XOXO

Way to go Dan! :carrot::cb::cp::bravo:

HOLY WEIGHT LOSS BATMAN!!!

Nicole, Dan, Kimphin, Kim R---I could not be more proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a way to start the weekend and a great incentive to not blow it over the next 2 days!

I w/i on Tues---I hope I can join in your victories!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the coop one too...

I like Through think and thin! But I like all of them. Doesn't matter to me!

LosersRwinners? Race to 20? Thinkins? The Featherweights? The Onderlanders? (highlanders)..... The Waistaways (castaways)............... Move-It "n" Lose-It ......... Happy Weighs (happy days) ummmmm

I was horrible diet-wise yesterday....... I'm really going to have to put a lot of extra effort in the next few weeks to make up for it :(
