I have come to the conclusion that this quarter was not the quarter to join this. I don't have time for exercising. I don't even know how much I owe. I have not exercised all week and I have no umpf to do it either. I work everyday until 11:30 then I go straight to class until 3:20 and then observations and homework and kids schedules and steve's schedules.
Thought we had good news and that has changed. We don't have good news.

Will weigh myself later and post. Not expecting any change.

I have to be at the church most of the day today. see you all tomorrow.

I'm back. I weighed myself and I can't believe the scale. I didn't do anything this week. The same scale I have been using said that I weigh 144.4 which is 1.2 pounds less than the last 2-3 weeks.

Does anyone els think that funky guy that comes out a kicks the screen several times is the most annoying thing when you are trying to get on to the support group???
Maybe I just don't have any tolerance but he comes out like 2 or 3 times. I think it's dumb. I know it's not for this sight because he is advertising for some car thing.

Hey Ladies- Good for you Joretta. Why is it I'm working out 6 days a week for almost an hour and can't lose a thing???? Strange. Well, I had C- week eating wise. I ate lots of chips and loved every bite. Last night after I posted I had lots of chips and 3 handfuls off M and M's at about 10:00. I weighed myself this morning and weighed 147. That seems to be my magical number. Two weeks ago when I was eating A+ I gained 2 pounds. This week I eat much more and lose 1 pound. Well, remember last week I weighed myself naked and weighed 148 and then I was mad and weighed myself again with my nightgown on and weighed 147. So....... who knows how much I weighed. I had my period this week and I really think that coming right off of that makes a difference. Heck- If I had been eating appropriately I may have lost more this week. I really only want to see 139. If I could see 139 one time I would be so happy. The 125 thing is just not going to work for me. I like to eat too much. My schedule is too crazy. I do like eating spinach salad though now. That's a plus. So................. I don't know what to think. Hope you're all well. I'm on my way to a swim meet. YIPPEE!!!!!!!

Hello ladies...its the long lost Hutch... I have been doin ok, eating wise. Im mostly sticking to the no food after 7pm and thats great and all but i havent lost a pound!!! It is EXTREMELY upsetting and makes me want to eat a big mac and a dozen choc chip cookies. However i wont. Still, im super ready for a little nicer weather. I am getting better at this working out stuff...Thanks Karen. :dance: The fat is shifting around, just not leaving yet. Lol So once again no weight loss. Felling healthier, now i'd like to shed my winter coat and be ready for spring blossoming!! I will be praying for each and everyone of you this week that its a great one. I dont think i can follow a strict diet, i have to allow myself some cheats or it will never be a life changing thing!! My cheats just need to be less frequent...lol ta-ta for now

p.s only 2 workouts last week. So i owe for 3 weeks of not being up to par!! Also i just read all that ive missed and im sooo sorry that you all have had such terrible weeks but God is great and he wont kill ya with stuff!! Ya know. Lori i think ur absolutly right. We are all CRAZY, and what on earth is normal these days?? What do we compare that with?? ok gotta run, LOVE YOU ALL!!!

I am with you Beth and Michelle. I have to cheat at times because I love to eat as well. I will go nuts without cheating from time to time.
Karen, tonight is our night to walk. Are we on???

I am so close to a slider.

Five more to go!!!!

Like I've said many times, just sew my mouth shut and i will lose weight.

Three more to go!!!!

Here I am posting my 29th time

Maybe I am an actual member now and not a junior member. Here is my 30th post

Now lets see if my signature comes up

I thought it only took 30 posts to be a member and not a junior member. I am still a junior member and cannont do my signature yet.
I am telling you all that that funky guy is getting on my nerves big time!!!!!!!!!! Everytime I am on this sight he comes out and kicks the screen. Now this other strange person is doing it as well so there are two of them. They have nothing to do with this sight. When you try to do something on this sight a window pops up about a car thing. Is anyone else annoyed??? Or am I the only one???

Jetty, I have no clue what you are talking about. Nobody comes out and kicks my screen?? Its crackin me up reading about it tho. Maybe u should get a pop-up blocker and you wont have that issue?? Dunno. Best wishes on that...

WOW Here it is Wednesday and i have not been on here for ever!!! i am sooo sorry. My weight has gone UP 3lbs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if this weather does noit get better soon i am going to go crazy. i am not POOPIng and i feel like a fat blimp short for blimpies!! haha. i live on the road and today is actual going to be nice because i am only making one trip to Temple YEAH!!!Why do i have no will power!???!! I NEED WILL POWER! Beth you need to come over please!!! i will see you all tonite. Love ya all, Karen

Ok girls...

I am not doing well at all. We HAVE TO come up with ways to inspire and encourage. My wallet is going to hurt this week because of all the money for gaining and not working out. Maybe that is what we need to do...make sure that everyone is up to date with totals. Also, we missed our first PAY OUT so we will pay out DOUBLE ($50) on MARCH 15!!!!

SO...everyone mark you calendars right now! 9 AM MARCH 15th...CLOUD NINE!!!!!

I need some motivation and perhaps that is the motivation I need!

I was horrible the first part of the week. I made a pan of brownies and I'm not really sure that anyone else got any of them!!!! :o :?:

I'm trying to motivate myself to get started on my next classes. The algebra is looking really intimidating to me right now!

I really have nothing to complain about though. Mike has been home all week and the weather has been nice, until tonight. I think I'm just getting depressed because I don't think I'll ever get off this 3rd shift job and back to what I consider a normal job. ok, I have to pull myself out of this little pity party for me!

I need to force myself to get on the treadmill like Kim did!!!

Back to work!! See you guys!!!

Lori- You're entitled to a pity party. I have them for me all the time. HEE HEE Things do seem discouraging right now. 9:00 on a Saturday morning? Are you kidding me????? 10:00 is as early as I'll do. HA I just did my last chance workout this morning since school was delayed. I had a terrible week-end and Monday, but have done really good the rest of the week. I did not work out on Wednesday or Thursday though. I just couldn't. Things to do. Yes, I went into withdrawal. That's not like me to not work out 2 days in a row. But what do you do? I'm not expecting anything on the scales tomorrow. We'll see. I'm eating my breakfast- a bowl of maple and brown sugar oatmeal and a piece of turkey bacon. I bought the weight control oatmeal to try. OH YUCK!!!!! It was disgusting. Have any of you tried it? I just couldn't eat it. I put it right down the disposal and opened a "real" bag. I don't care if it has less fiber and protein and more sugars. Taste has to count for something. HA I'm doing SOS tomorrow so I'll be posting after that. See you all.:p

Well........God is obviously happy that I weigh 147 pounds because the scale has not moved in 3 weeks. I guess I'm glad that I didn't gaini any. But I am not losing and I don't think it's because I'm not trying. Yes, I have had a couple bad moments, but come on............For the most part, I really feel like I have done well. This is the longest I have "done well" in a long time. So......I'm not sure what to think. I'm not really disappointed, just wondering what I could and should be doing to make that scale move the other way. Hope you all had a loss today. Me :hug:

Great job Michelle!!!

I don't think by any means that you aren't doing anything!!

We just have to persevere. So, you are at a plateau....that is okay! You look great! Just keep it up and you will break that plateau.

I weighed in as 146!!! Great for me. I'm back on track with eating and hopefully exercise. I have one 30 min workout in for this week already and am hoping to add weigh training this week.

Michelle, do you do weight training? or just aerobic?

Oh, where is everyone??

Jetty??? Did you have to reset your signature?

Bethany...how's it going???

Karen...Did you hit the treadmill???

Kim...Where are you....how are you doing????

GIRLS?!?!?!?!?

Where is everyone?????

Hi Girls! I'm Kim Dirr. I am in this group, but you may have forgotten me! You the old saying out of sight out of mind....I figured if I did not get on the web site I would not have to face up to the fact that I STINK. I've done so bad. I've not gained any weight, but I've not been very accountable or faithful with it. Lori, I'm like you we need to get MOTIVATED. We need a "Jillian" in our group. This is so much harder than I thought. The up and down is going to kill me. I really want this to be a life style, not a diet. I want to do better. I guess it comes down to what Pastor has been talking about with my selfish living. I do what I want and if I don't want to I don't do it. If I can't do it with my eating and exercising how am I going to do it with my Christian life. Anyway...I'm trying I've exercised everyday this week. Monday and today!!:)
I'm going to start praying for each of you everyday and myself. I know we can do this. One day at a time.

Hi everyone- Hope you're all well. It's been a rough eating week for me. I'm back to my old habits. Not sure why. I've been doing so well. I think it's because I'm not seeing any results. I have that "why bother" attitude. So.... I agree with Kim and Lori- it's time to get motivated and get going. I'm praying for you all too.

I've been doing a lot of reading...and as Mike says...that can be very dangerous!!!

Tips:

If you are "stuck in a rut" with your workout routine and hit a plateau with your weight loss, change up your workout routine. You body will get used to the same thing.

Always keep a healthy snack in your purse. (ie...power bar, bag of almonds, etc.)

If you are an emotional eater and you "think" you are hungry. Drink a bottle of water and wait 20 minutes. If you are still hungry, eat a healthy snack.

That is my wisdom for the day!!!

My eating hasn't been great, but not extremely poor either.
By the way, I seem to have finally gotten on track with my exercise.
Ran - 3 times this week (steadily and slowly increasing distance)
Weight Training - 2 times this week

Chin up girls...we CAN do this!!! Anyone want to plan a couple of workouts next week???
Wooohoooo!!!

Hi everyone- It's been a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE eating week for me. It's the worst one I've had since I started on Jan. 2. I can hardly wait to see what the scales have for me tomorrow morning. I will weigh in in the morning, but I won't be posting until later tomorrow. I have to leave at 7:00 a.m. for a swim meet. No time to wait on this website to load and what not. Hope all is well for you. Me:mad:

Hello ladies!! I weighed in at 164. And im a telling ya its nice but terrible to see we are all in the same boat. Aunt flo came for a visit and she brought some friends i didnt invite. Self pity. depression and good ol miss negitivity. Im telling ya i havent seen them girls in a loooong time, and quite frankly they are not welcome to come back!! What an aweful time ive been having!! I'm usually carefree somewhat and im just beating myself up. Im not workin out im not really caring....Its aweful. I need to get it together. So i owe some money!!! And Kim i will be getting with you...Karen hopefully sunday we can get back on track!!!! I will pray for all of you also and for spring to please grace me with its presence. Ya'll have a great week. Bethany

Well, the girls had a FABULOUS swim meet. I had a FABULOUS time eating at it. I also had a FABULOUS time eating at Fazolis for supper and I didn't eat salad. I weighed in at 148 today which is one pound up from the last 3 weeks. I was actually pleased that it wasn't worse. I was at the mall this evening and all the spring and summer things were out. They definately motivated me to get going again. I took a week off and I plan on getting back to things tomorrow morning. I still just only want to lose like 9 to 10 pounds. I'm not asking for the sun and moon here. I'm not really sure what to do though. Obviously I'm not doing something right if I went for so long thinking I was doing well and not losing a pound. SO......... That's all I know. See you all in the morning.:dizzy:

i weighed in today at 143.4. I am in the middle of a really strenuous end of the quarter. I have 14 credit hours wrapping up and have not had time for anything but huge projects and papers.
I have not ran or anything for 2 weeks I think. maybe even 3.

I hope this slider posts

Good night all and see you at church in the morning.

Do I have to manually post my slider every time?? Have a good night.
Had fun today Karen. You are probably just pulling in now from Toledo.
take care guys!!1 http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/bar083...125/143.4/.png

Jetty,

Go to edit signature under User CP and put that link in your signature. When you save it, it should come up every time.



I manage to maintain my 146 weight from earlier in the week!!! Wooohooo!!!!

Hi Girls! I'm the same weight AGAIN! New week right!

Hi girls.
I am still having trouble with that funky guy. Beth I read where you said you laugh when you read these. I will have to show you these and you will probably laugh even more~!!!!!!!!
He is soooooooooo annoying though!!!!!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!!!!!

Lori,
thanks for the infor!!! I went and pasted and and saved and now it comes up!!! Yeah!!!!!!

Michelle and Kim
hang in there, we can do this. And worst scenario, we don't lose weight; but we have a great God, great friends, and husbands who love us and great kids!!! Also we can all pig out together in our misery. ha ha ha
Karen
we need to walk again!!!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

Hey- It's 9:40 on Friday night and I'm petrified about driving to Fremont at 6:00 in the morning. I pray that this swim meet is delayed or cancelled. The girls will be devastated, especially Taylor, but it's not worth risking our lives for. I've had a terrible eating week- well 2-3 weeks. I'll be back on the bandwagon on Sunday. I doubt I'll weigh myself in the morning and I definately won't be posting so I hope everyone is good and I'm looking forward to getting back on track on Monday.
