"Hmm... I think you jiggle too much when you dance." - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

'Ello, poppets. I think I'm here for the normal reason- a happier, lighter, better-circulating me. Sounds normal enough?

I'm really into live theater, but I stress out during show season and gain (more) weight. And my ego won't let last year's production repeat itself. (The title is from our lovely producer.)

I'm a full-time student looking for some support. I barely have time to take proper care of my health, and the rest of my family is from that eat-everything-and-not-gain-a-pound breed. Baw.

So now that you've heard my condensed life story, I can't wait to join this lovely little internet family. :]

Welcome Plum! We have a few thespians around here! Megan down in maintainers does quite a bit with her community theater I believe.

Eek! I can't believe your producer said that, but I guess that's show business?? Maybe??

Anyway, you are in the right place for lots of support. Surf around. We have subforums divided by age, food plan, exercise, interests, etc.

What are your plans?

Great to meet another thespian, even though I am no longer involved in theatre.

I can't believe your producer said that to you, then again, knowing theatre people at times, I am not that surprised. Still it would have been a very painful thing to hear.

The very best of luck with your weight loss journey.

UGH! How horrible! I can't believe he said that to you! aside from that welcome home!

that's what this place will become like I guarantee it! a second home!

what sort of plan are you doing? as for me I'm a loud and proud calorie counter! LOL

Aw, thanks for the warm welcome guys :]

Plan-wise, I'm starting with smaller portions, more water, healthier foods... I'm a horrid snacker, too. And I'm trying my darndest to get more aerobic exercise into my schedule.

Seems basic enough, but I'm really awful at sticking to things when I'm stressed out/PMS'ing/hungry.

Welcome Plum! I can't believe that he said that to you! I would've jiggled my butt and knocked him off the stage. >=) Well, best of luck! You can do it!
