WOW, this is such a coincidence!

First off, hello ladies, I'm Denisha... I'm 30sumthin and work as a Business Analyst during the day and I'm an aspiring Internet Marketing entrepreneur and my very first website is a weightloss website for women of color! I'm still tweaking the site, but it will be up in a few days

I am looking to lose weight the healthy way after trying too many of the fad diets out there. And I'm so happy to see other women of color on the same "get healthy" mission... like everyone has stated already, but I have to say it... our health issues are a little bit different from other women.

On my journey, I will be doing Turbo Jam and Tae Bo workouts as well as some strength training... oh, and I am eating the "Fat Smash" kinda way... fruits, veggies, lean protein, grains, egg whites, etc.

Anyway, I'm soooo excited to find this thread. I'll be checking in to see how everyone is doing and to post my progress as well!

I have been taking these braids out for 3 days! Not three WHOLE days basically when I was just sitting around. TY Lord for wigs, HA! I think I am going to try that twist out look after all the braids are out. Plus IDT I need a perm for that ....do I??

WELCOME UNSTOPPABLE & MSMOTIVATION!!!!!!!!!

HEY GIRLS......

Basically I have just been getting things ready for when Chris leaves int he next couple days.I have been gymming it and starting out doing well and then going haywire in the evening, But I am maintaining. Hopefully I will do well on our challenge (sister thread).

unstoppable · 07-30-2009, 04:37 PM

OMG allergies! Not sure what's going on with me. I had to workout with an ice pack on my eye yesterday. It was terrible. Itchy and watery eyes. I don't feel good!!!!!!!

msmotivation · 08-02-2009, 12:16 AM

Hey... just checkin in to say "HI"...
Hope you feel better SBD... that sounds miserable.
Today, I did the Turbo Jam 20min Cardio DVD and the 40min Turbo Sculpt - only got thru 30mins of that one LOL but I'm proud that I did that much.
Plan to do some type of workout everyday.
Gotta get right with my eating habits though... plan on making green smoothies a staple so I can get more fresh fruit and veggies.

Hello Ladies,
SO yesterday I went into Philly to trial some wedding hairstyles and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. I am so excited. My hair is in locs, so I was curious to see how it would turn out. Im so excited!!!
I did my spin class yesterday morning and it was intense. I loved it though.
Today I go to work. I plan to get some grocery shopping done and then maybe work out a little later.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

girls!

So I moved into the apartment yesterday. It was just me and Nessa, it was so hot, we were just pouring sweat! But I got moved in and Mrs. Allison gave me some money to put groceries in the fridge.

I'm without internet/cable so I'll try to post at work when I can. I don't know when I'll get my internet, I really need to get a bed because sleeping on the floor is doing nothing for my bad hips! The apartment is chaos, I missplaced my scale so I couldn't WI this morning. >.<

I've got to get to work, guys. Have a great week and I'll try to post again soon!

I am going to the gym with the BF tonight after we go and look at this site for the wedding. I am pretty excited about this week in general as far as diet exercise goes. I am still wearing this wig until I figure out what the **** I am gonna do with my hair. My hair is still pink and I refuse to wear into work seeing as how I have 2-3 biters. so it must be colored before I even think about wearing my hair out and then I can't decide if I want to cut it one last time before I start growing it out for the wedding.....decisions....descisions...

Sass _ OMG an icepack, I hope you are feeling better now.

Unstoppable _ Exciting about the trial hairstyles. I Can't wait until I start doing that stuff. Glad it turned out great for you

Lea_ Yay apartment. You are all moved in a ready to go. Good feeling just post when you can.

Matilda08 · 08-03-2009, 11:24 AM

Sass I hope you feel better.

I hope you all are doing well, my son has been sick for a few days so I havent worked out much last week. He is feeling better now so hopefully I will get my five hours of workouts in this week.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Hello, all,
I wanted to let you all know that I have decided to leave 3FC. I have made the really exciting decision to become an intuitive eater (www.intuitiveeating.com) and really feel that this is not the website for me anymore now that I will never diet again. I am grateful for all of the support and wish you all the best in your health endeavours!
