Hi,
Well my goals are to lose 100 pounds I lost 136 already but gained 50 back so know i have 50 more on top of that one. I am on lowfat 1200 cal and under 30 fat.
I am married with 2 kids. boys 3and 6. I raise and sell chihuahuas. I would like to get to where I am not so tired and depressed from being over weight. Thanks for all the great welcomes to post here. You all are great..

Hey Guys there is no way I'm going to catch up lol you were chatty cathy's today!!

I just had "dinner" a bagel with light garlic/chive cream cheese Yum! Maybe not the healthiest but it could have been much much worse!!

I went to walmart today and got a scrapbooking kit and some stickers and stuff and embossing pen and powder! I'm gonna try it all out tomorrow! I'm excited!!

I also went to the Library and got some books to read so that was fun!

Sounds like everyone is doing well!! Hubby let me sleep in today and I didn't get up til 10:30!! But I had a hard time falling asleep last night cuz I got my adrenaline going from walking to get the gas and back! So I had to unwind before falling asleep.

Jessica its great to have you here!!

Jill glad you had a great girls night!!

Penny How is nicholas liking school? Are both he and hunter in school now or am I just confused? lol

Crystal I hope the storms pass quickly :) How are you feeling these days?

For those of you who celebrate halloween what are you going to have your kids dress up like? Taylor is going to be an angel (haha Yeah right!!) Teagan Is going to be a giraffe in honor of Allie Scott :)

Speaking of Allie I went to the cancer center and hospital today and spoke the the community relations people and we're getting the ball running on getting my cancer walk going :) I'm also going to bring a meal in to a family dealing with cancer, who practically live at the hospital, to help with the cost of food and stuff :)

Ok well hubby wants some "special" time so I gotta get off here!!
Love to you all!
Michelle

Hi Ladies!

Kristen,
No need to thank us! That is what we are all here for! I would love to get a tally on all the weight everyone on 3fc's has lost! I know this support system is the best I have ever had!

Michelle,
Does hubby ever work anymore? LOL How the heck are you working ten hour shifts? I am so excited for you to get the ball rolling. And that is so awesome to bring a meal to a family at the hospital! I know they will feel your love! (hope you are a good cook...lol) Did the girls do ok when you had the meeting with the hospital? Nicholas has been for his speech evulation but he does start until they send me the date in the mail. He will only go for like 30 minutes twice a week... So by the time I drop him off and come home it will be time to go pick him back up...lol

Jessica,
It sounds like you have all your goals and priorities right :) My mom has a chihuahua and has always had them. BTW, your pic is very flattering :)

Chris,
POOR NICOLE! I feel so bad for her! I am sending some Get Well thoughts her way!

Cindi,
Take it easy lady! I am so glad the surgery went ok for you! Aren't they going to do a biosopy for you? Are am I mistaken?

Jill,
Don't ever hesitate to call me! I am here for you :)

Deana,
I am waiting for your weigh in tomorrow! I am thinking of you :)

Spryng,
Where did you scoot off to? You have been too quiet today :)

Well I did awesome at dinner! YAH! We went to the Ryan's Buffet... Instead of getting the buffet and being tempted I ordered the Petite Hawaiian Chicken and a lemon water! I felt much better about myself for it!!!

I got in 80 oz of water today and 45 minutes of exercise :)

1 Day down, 6 more to go!

It's halftime and I don' have time to get personal so just know that I am thinking about you all. Penny, I didn't get my WATP in afterall. All the males in my house but one decided they needed haircuts. And guess who gets to do that! I probably would have been up half the night anyway :( . I was also bad tonight and had some chips and white chili con queso during the game. I'm done now though and will need to work off some more calories later :smug: . I'm working on my next bottle of water and when it's gone that will be 140 oz for the day. Tomorrow I will excercise. No running to do that I cna think of right now. That may change since dh is off again tomorrow.

Well, game is back on now.

TTYL if not tonight, in the morning with WI.

Good evening all,

Welcome Jessica...I'm Geri Mom to Will-3 and Tony-1. This is a wonderful place to be but you have to try hard to keep up!!

Thanks for all the threats ladies...gee maybe I should stay off plan and you all can come visit me even if it is to kick my butt :lol: . At least I'd get to meet you!

I did my 3mi WATP today and 96 oz of water plus coffee :D . I'm baaaaaaaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkk!

Well after skimming the days posts...my eyes are tired so I'm off to bed. Got all the carrots canned today so that's done.

Hope you all have a wonderful evening. Hi to all and hugs to Cindi.

I"M STILL ALIVE
 

:D Hey everyone.I've been MIA for awhile thought i'd check in.I see there are some newbee's .For ya'll i'm a SAHM of 4 and want to lose weight and be a more positive person.
I've read over some of the post sounds like everyone is doing good.A little has changed since I was here last.We now have 2 more cats I love them,but if the kids don't start cleaning up after them(litter box)i'm going to give them away.
As far as my weight goes i'm still 167.I'm tring to get motivated again then I know I could lose the rest of my weight.I just need to disipline myself,thats the hard part for me.Well i'll try to make it a priority to at least post once a day.All you girls have such encouraging words I don't even know why I quit posting to begin with.I'll do better I promise. :D Well i'm going to burn dh's dinner if I don't get off here.I'll check back in later tonight.
love to all Angel :angel:

Good evening all!
Sorry I was MIA most of the day, dh load got canceled and he ended up at the yard in Olathe and wanted me to come up and spend the day with him and how could I refuse? lol. So that is what we did. We ate at olive garden (I had been craving it since Crystal's anniversary, lol) and it was sooo good! not OP... but I know I can work it off, lol. I'm not really worried about it.
We just got home a little bit ago, I finally got the kids settled down and in bed so now I'm pooped! I left the kittens out of the carrier while I was gone so they could explore the house and get used to it here without the kids chasing them and guess what? No accidents! They used their littler box!! I was so thrilled. The bad news is I could only catch one and the other has hid herself behind my dishwasher (there is a gap between the wall and the washer) and it won't come out. So one is put in the carrier for the night and who knows when the other will emerge, but as soon as she does I'm closing off that gap.
Well I wish I could get more personal tonight but I'm exhausted! I'll chat with you more in the morning! :) G'nite!

Oh one more thing while it's on my mind... while dh was at the yard his dispatcher told him a job just opened up for another fleet manager (dispatcher) and it's a 7-5 job, so he told dh to apply for it and he did!! Now I hope we hear something back soon, if he gets that job I won't need to get a job and he'll be home everynight!!!! So keep your fingers crossed! I mean I don't mind going back to work, but I love love love staying home with the kids so if he can get a job that will allow me to continue at home I would be so thrilled!
Ok, going to bed now, TTYL!

Spryng-Just thought you'd like to know that, long as you've showed the kittens where the cat box is and it's clean they will always use it.It's their instinct.You look like you've hit your goal weight.Well except 2lbs.That's nothing.You could probly pee and lose 2lbs lol :lol: anyhow congrades on that.


Well good night to all.I'll post ya'll tomorrow.nighty night.

Can I jump in?
 

This group sounds great. It's hard to jump into a group that's already buzzing, but here goes!
I'm Cathy from Maspeth, New York (In Queens). I am the proud mother to 3 wonderful kids Connor 4, Mary Kate 2, and Brendan 2 months (today :) ). Anyway, my sisters and I decided to start a Yahoo support group with each other (3 of us), but they are both so busy I feel like I'm posting to myself! Then I found 3fatchicks. Anyway, when I am working I'm a Registered Nurse, but these days I'm a SAHM who works per diem here and there! I really want to shape up more than lose weight, per se. I have learned about HIIT, do any of you do it? I have been back at the gym for 2 weeks now, and have discovered the Elliptical Trainer (love it). I'd love to maximize my time there if possible. Thanks for being here!
Cathy
