I know this sounds silly, but I really wanted a ticker and am disappointed I have to wait 20 days. I think it will be great motivation and will keep me on track. Actually, the ticker right there for the world to see was one of the reasons I wanted to join this group, I felt like I would have accountability.

Oh well, hopefully by the time I get one I will have lost some so it won't start at the very beginning!

I have also looked through some older posts (including the one that caused the complaint thread) and I love how supportive everyone is. The encouragement is going to be great when I'm having a tough day!

And a silly question, on the OP thread, do you post what you plan to have that day before you start or do you post what you ate at the end of the day?

Hi JATX3!

to 3FC! I actually post what I plan for the day as it helps hold me accountable. When I am at work, it is easier since I pack everything but dinner! At home, I've been struggling a bit in these lazy days of winter to get my food and exercise in!

Anyway, happy Friday and welcome again.

Welcome! I bet 20 days will fly by and your ticker will be a couple pounds down by the time you get to put it up. Glad you've joined us!

Hi JATX3 and
One of the reasons I stay around is because I like my ticker so much! You'll have one before you know it.

There is incredible support here, and I think we have alot of respect for everyones' individuality. I think it's better than family.

I look forward to getting to know you better. I'm glad to see you're jumping right in!

Hello!

I'm glad you're here. I remember feeling the same way when I had to wait for my ticker... but the days went by quickly and while I waited I enjoyed changing the numbers on my profile.

I was so psyched when I got my ticker. Now if it would just go down! The time will fly by. Welcome to the beach, don't forget your sunscreen and water bottle!

You'll be surprised how fast those 20 days will fly by, JATX! You'll have your ticker before you know it.

I usually post my OP menu for the day in the morning, as I plan ahead for what I'm going to eat for the day, and it really helps keep me accountable. If I don't plan, that's where my troubles start.

This is a very supportive group here, and I'm so thankful for all of you here. We have a great group of loyal Beachers.

Nice to meet you JATX3. This is an awesome place to "hang out."

Welcome! I can't wait for my ticker either!

Welcome to 3FC & SB! I usually post at the end of the day, since I'm never sure what I'm going to fix in the evening. My breakfast and lunch menus don't vary much, so I don't really need to plan them ahead.
