kick my booty buddy lol - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

brandyangel1 · 02-07-2006, 12:05 PM

Hi everyone,
I have decided I need help. But being since I pretty much live alone with a two year old 30 miles from anyone else I need a ebuddy. haha
Well I am 32 and since highschool I have been gaining. I was thin by the way.5'5" 125lbs. Ya thought I was fat lol. Then I met my hubby who is a big guy and we went truckin. By 2001 I was 200 lbs. Well in 1999 I was diagnosed with PCOS cause I was having pain. Got pregnant in 2001 and lost it but did not lose the weight.In 2003 had my Daughter who is now 2 1/2 years old. I did lose her baby fat but now it is creepin back. I am really starting to get p.o'd about this. Last year after giving the doc what4 i finally find that I am hypothyroid.TSH is normal but the FT4 was border low so I have been on armour but no weight loss. I just went to the docs yesterday to get the 3 hour glucose test for diabetes. I have chronic headaches and now sometimes tylenol dont help so i started testing with hubbies blood monitor and low and behold sugar is high. So another nail in the diet coffin.

I have been eatin healthy the past 6 months but I am sure portion control is wonky and i need to get out and walk. So i need to count callories and all that jaz but I would like someone to chat to and ride my big behind.

well this thing is long enough thx for reading and I hope to hear from a future buddy.

Welcome! You have come to the right place.
Somedays I wish I could be more secluded so that I could spend more time here at 3fc. I love it and have met many folks that I admire and enjoy very much.
Tell us about what you'd like to eat for your slimming and we'll help you find some threads that'll be great for you.
There should be some walking threads around. Just jump right in.

Hi .....Sounds like we have a lot of the same health issues. I two have PCOS and am hypothyroid. The meds don't always help with weight loss if your diet is the problem TRUST ME...everyone told me oh your going to lose so much weight when you start taking your meds....yeah right. I think I even gained more because I though ohhhhh thats my problem. I get a lot of headaches when I don't take my meds so maybe those will get better for you after you have taken the meds for a while.
I'm 27 and trying to lose as much as I can before July...I've decided to start trying for another baby this summer and would like to lose as much as I can before gaining with a pregnancy. My husband says I'm good at riding his butt LOL

Well looks like your on the right track with your weight loss i hope I can do as well.

Today I started kinda low carbin. Pushed my daughter around in her car that was a workout

still need to go walk but i got to wait for the little one to go down for a nap. I was kinda depressed this morning now I am just moody. Oh what fun it is to diet. Now I know why I need a buddy. I just wish I had someone to walk with. Everyone just leads such busy lives that those of us that are SAHM just get so lonely i guess.Actually I am not lonely I just want someone to walk with. ARG! Can U tell I feel icky?

Ya know, years ago I used to go to my friends' houses for coffee in the afternoon. Now everybody works ... including me but just enough to screw up any coffee clatch planning I might do.

That's the nice thing about 3fc. Any time I want a coffee and a chat, there's something happening here.

Hello and Welcome!! Good Luck on your weight loss!! You can do it!

Losing4another · 02-08-2006, 10:15 PM

Brandy- Didn't do as good as I hoped today but hopefully no gains for weight in. I to need to start walking. It's cold and that keeps me from taking that leap. How is the low carb going? I could never stick to that so I'm trying my best just to eat less calories and throwing some WW's in there. I'm here if you need a vent ...i'm a SAHM too...at least for now.

Well I bought a new work out machine

. Got it online @ walmart. Its a proform hot cross buns machine. I needed something different than my Gazelle which was too easy

. It wont be here for a few weeks so I got time to low carb and get used to it. I still plan on jumping on the trampoline till then. Lowering carbs yesterday worked well .The only carbs I had was really only some honeydew melon. I was cranky

and depressed

but I am still alive.

I called and got the results back from the docs about the glucous test and everything is fine so that means my husbands glucous monitor is wonky. I called and they r sending a new one. Boy I was scared I was turning into a diabetic

Still lookin for someone who wants to be my buddy cause I am here all day and noone who speaks good english to talk to. I am good and recipes and motivating other people just not myself

So feel free to pm me i wont send a swat team

Losing------hope u r doing better today too. Let me know.

srmb60 · 02-09-2006, 01:19 PM

Just hang out at 3fc. Post into any conversation that tickles your fancy. We talk back, honest we do.

Losing4another · 02-09-2006, 02:31 PM

Brandy- Right now I'm kicking myself for have two pieces of pizza instead of the one I promised myself. I didn't have breakfast so hopefully I will not pay for that later either.
Way to go ordering that machine. I going to go back to the gym when more money is rolling in. Right now I just have to get my butt up to do it myself

My main problem is calorie control. I went to the gym for almost a year at least three days a week and didn't lose a pound because I wasn't counting calories. Felt better and did firm up but thats about it.

I would think melon wouldn't hurt your low carb. Sounds like you did great

You live in AZ...and have no one that speaks good english?
