Here's my 3:

1) I am going to meet Her Majesty the Queen this year

2) My good friend plays for a well known Scottish football team

3) I have had dinner with a famous pop group

I started the C25K twice before I saw it all the way thru. No, actually, I didn't complete it. After 4 weeks of that techno musak, I ditched it and just ran. It really does get easier after week 4.

I'm still working off the Chocolate Eggs. Doesn't help that TOM is due too.

Yeah for money!!!

I need to rebuild my running too. It's 5K season here and my time isn't improving much.

I'm going to go with #3.

Hi all . . .
Hope everyone has had a great week, and has plans for a wonderful weekend.

Truths and Lie:
1. My mother is one of 10 children, and my father was one of 24 children, but my parents only had 2 children.

2. I worked for the Fish and Wildlife Service as a wildlife biologist studying the behavior of grizzly bears.

3. I've been pecked by a bird, kicked by a horse and bitten by a rat, a hamster, 2 cats and 3 dogs. None of them were my pets.

I don't think you're meeting the Queen.

CruiseCAT's QOTD:
What do you consider a plateau and how do you deal with it?
I consider not losing weight at all for more than a week or losing and gaining the same pound or two several times over 2 to 3 weeks. I usually get frustrated and have a day or two of eating off plan which seems to kickstart my metabolism into gear. Exercising more and eating less has never worked for me.

Lisa - I too will have to go with meeting the Queen.

OFC - I think 24 kids is a stretch OK... I actually think that would be CRAZY.

Dee - I have come to realization that I will never be a street runner therefore the chance of participating in a real 5K is unlikely. I enjoy the treadmill but running on the street was not fun. For me to stick with any exercise it has to be fun or at least tolerable.

I have good news..... I hit 149.6 this morning. I usually only update my ticker on Monday but had to share my excitement with EVERYONE.

Mack is home until Tuesday so I won't be around much. Hope you all have a GREAT weekend.

Good Luck... can't wait to hear how it went.

I think a couple people might have misunderstood me; eating less and moving more is my life style change not my way of dealing with a plateau.

I have been really scarce since my computer at home is messed up. I am posting from work with a room full of children. That doesn't work so well at times. Anyhow, I'll be quick.

Wish I could play the game but I can't keep up right now.
My weight went up to 192 today. YUCK!!!
I plan so some good workouts for the weekend so I hope it goes back down by Monday.

Gotta run.

Cool, everyone is different and what works for one person may not the next.

I've got a comic book convention this weekend where I get to sit behind a table and talk up my books. So, I will be scarce. Have a great weekend all!

Well ladies,

The Queen is coming to my work in July to celebrate 10 years of devolution in Scotland and I once had a meal in a restaurant and the boy band Westlife (are they known in America? MASSIVE over here) were at the next table! One of the friends I was dining with almost peed her pants in excitement. We were off to see them in concert that night so it was very strange seeing them on stage later on after sitting eating next to them!

Although I used to work at a well known Scottish football club, can't count any of the players as a good friend!

Lisa

went good there doing a background check and i call back monday to find out when to do the drug test and other stuff. if all works out i'll start on the 27th.

Cindy: My lifestyle change is the same as yours, eat less and move more. My answer to the QOTD was that I found that eating even less than that, and doing extra workouts wasn't helping me get through my plateau. Sorry if I was unclear.
and
Congratulations on the 149.6! Great job!!

MissV: Never heard of Westlife, but that's a cool story. Did you buy them drinks, and ask to be their backstage groupies? Wow! You're going to meet the Queen. Do you have to do anything special for her visit?

dixied: Are you the same Dix that I said looked like Reba? You look mahvahlous, darling! Last we chatted, you were fighting a plateau that kept you around 172lbs. Way to push through it and show it who's boss.

Gotta run and get ready for work. Ta for now.

Can I join!!!!PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Just let me know how to report the weekly weight loss, and what day, and I am there! This would be so great for me! I am a competitive person trying to win my personal war with FAT!!!!

Are you all still doing the Biggest Loser Chalenge?

Hi Haney - Welcome to 3FC. We are currently at the end of this BLC; we started when the show began in January. Sign-ups for this challenge were in December. I've seen some other BL challenges on some of the other threads you may want to check out.

I'm sure you will find the ladies here on 3FC very supportive . Look around and jump right in on several of the threads.

Edited to add... Congratulations on the 20 lb. loss, you are doing GREAT.

I fixed my computer today by doing a restore. I am so happy about that. However, the scale is being unkind and reminding me that this is mid-cycle gain time. Up 3 pounds in 3 days. YUCK!!! Wish I could find some way to avoid this crap.

Stay on plan this weekend girls. It is about time for me to get to my workout. Did a 3 mile walk/jog yesterday. Tonight I think I need some butt kicking.
