2 pounds should be no problem for me. I seem to be losing about a pound a week! I should really start kicking it up a notch, though. I need to find a way of getting my strength training in that doesn't bore me. I don't do it enough!

See and I prefer the strength training over the cardio....huh, funny!
Rosario~ Did you SI6 today?:carrot:

no i didn't get my SI6 in :nono:

Just thought I better pop in and say HI! Things are going well on my end, but this time tomorrow I will be snuggled up with my pup! yaaah!

I'm so happy and excited for you Courtnie! Enjoy your little bundle of fluff!:)

ok so i went on an almost 1 year hiatus. i ate whatever the **** i wanted whenever i wanted. so once again im back on the 3 fat chicks forum. ready to try again. thankfully i only gained 10 lbs back. so my new goal is 20lbs by christmas. so i think thats one pound a week. just thinking about being healthier makes me feel better. i missed this forum so much and all the amazing people. i hope to stick to it. wendy- give me the update on you. and whats this game. i havent had a chance to read through the posts.

This is a points game similar to the one that um....I forget her name and I made up in the very beginning!
Now it's more of a motivational.support group!

The game starts on Monday, August 7/06 and will end on Monday, September 4/06.We work on a points system that is as follows:

Exercise: 1 point for every 20 mins of exercise(no half points allowed, we
want you to get another point!)
Water: 1 point for every half gallon/2 litres/64 oz.
Meals: 1 point for every Healthy meal( maximum of 3 per day)depending on your chosen diet plan if your are on one.
Snacks: half a point for every Healthy snack

Because some of us eat 5-6 smaller meals a day the first 3 will count as full points and the other 2-3 will be half points, just to keep things fair for everyone.

Pounds/inches lost per week: 2 points for every pound AND inch lost!
It's been working for me when I'm on the wagon!

Last I heard of you I think I was around 154Lbs, I'm now at 135lbs and it's coming off slow but sure! The ex husband is STILL an ex husband and has since took off to BC to get away from having to support his son, which is SO fine with me because I'm in the middle of going for full custody of Ryan!!And no, I'm not with anyone,no one worthy of us so far! LOL!
Please join us in this coming game, it's really great and the ladies on here are AWSOME!!!!It's great to have you back!! Don't forget to pop in on AFGF!!It's still going!!Yippee!

:d

Hey ladies! Just one and a half more days till the final weel of BTB!
Then Game 7 starts!
Who is going to lose those 2 pounds by Monday?? Huh? Who's it going to be?
Weekends here are always so quiet...
Courtnie~ How's the puppy?

Hi gals-sorry i'ven not been checking in. Its been terribly busy and i just don't seem to fit everything in. I am only here now because I got to hot and frustrated in the garden to finish what I've been doing. My attitude needs an adjustment and I'm really trying to get it together. i hope you all have a tremendous weekend and i hope to check in more often from now on.

Brandy~ Glad you have come back! We missed you! I know it's hard to keep motivated and eat clean all the time but we can and will do this! You have reached your goal before so I think you'll be able to do it again! Good luck!

I hate weekends here, so far Brandy has been the only one to post since Friday!:mad:
I'm sore from all the scrubbing so today I'm just going to watch the food intake and leave exercise in the dust!
Have a good day!

I want to play! :)
 

Good morning!!! This game sounds so exciting!! I am looking forward to losing with all of you! :) :carrot: :hug:

Good morning gals,

Its not even 8:30 yet, and its already 80 degrees out. Not to mention the horrid humidity. I've already done some cleaning, but I'm really debating how safe a bike ride would be in this weather. Not sure what I'll do.

I have tickets to a Kenny Rogers/Oak Ridge Boys concert at the county fair tonight. I've been looking forward to this since we bought the tickets in December, but man its going to be hot!!!!! We'll still have fun though, just be really sticky and stinky.

My last softball game for either of my teams was last night. I'm very sad the seasons are over. It was fun this year, and a great way to enjoy some of my exercise. I'd love to play on a fall league but I have to restart my teaching schedule, and it usually doesn't allow me to play. I guess we'll see when the league info comes out in a few weeks.

So its fair week here and our county has one of the biggest in the state. I love it and my hubby hates it. SO, I go with friends and family most of the time, but this year they're having a Combine Derby, and so I'm making him take me to that as well as the concert. I really don't get into traditional demolition derby's but the combine derby I've just gotta see at least once. Yes, I'm a true hick at heart, but whatever makes me happy.

Well, I've got lots of cleaning to do around here today so I'm off. I hope you all have a terrific Monday.

Puppy pics! http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90457

Hope everyone is doing well, will have to catch up later!

AWW, so cute! I see she's already spoiled rotten!:D

Well ladies how did you all do for loosing weight this week?I have managed to lose the 2 pounds that I said I would by today!!!:carrot:
I'm going to jump on the bike for awhile and do some crunches today, I'd SI6 but I'm having some foot problems and it hurts to even walk some!Oh, well the joy of getting old with fallen arches! LOL!
Have a fantastic day!!

CONGRATS WENDY!!!!!!!

Great job getting those 2 pound outta here!!!!! I see you're doing some awesome recruiting! Can't wait for the new game as I've botched this one up royally!!

Courtnie-So cute, makes me want a third for my clan!

Rosario, Lydia, La3y-Where are you??????!!!!!

Jen and dfant-Welcome!! I'm looking forward to getting to know you!!

I'm around, Brandy! I've just been busy and sick :( I felt it coming on a few days ago but ignored it... sure enough a day later I woke up with a sore throat. So far, I've managed to rest and eat well enough that it's not progressed to more than a sore throat and some minor achiness.

I can't believe all the compliments I've been getting lately... my confidence level is THROUGH THE ROOF. Last week when I went out to Chili's with my coworkers, one of them did "the sizzle". You know, where they put their finger to their tongue, put their finger next to you and make a sizzling noise. Oh my goodness, I blushed. Guys are actually paying attention to me now, and (psst, don't tell my boyfriend) I actually like it. It's nice not to be ignored for once. A guy I know on another forum saw my picture and told me "You're so beautiful, my monitor fainted!" Wowzers. I just can't believe it. What a difference 33 pounds makes!

Well Lydia, you are beautiful,inside and out!:hug:
Brandy~ I'm pumped about the next game:D

I am running late!!!! Sorry

I did not lose my 2lbs I have that TOM now!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! I will lose 2 my next Mon...if thats ok Wendy??

I had a good time camping with only one problem....Friday there was a big big big storm....From 9pm to about 1am it look like some one was shooting off fire works outside....and sounded like a small war was going on...We had more water on the inside of the tent than on the outside....I took Amanda to Build-a-Bear Sat...She had a great time....her b-day is tomorrow and she will be 10....She is growing up so fast!!!

I need to run now...I have my Doc app on "the grils" tomorrow I may not be on line tomorrow.....I will check in on Wed.....

i'm late. oh well, better late then never

no, i did not lose 2 lbs. i gained 1.6. but that's all going to change from now on. I swear it. I already got 40 min of walking in. woo hoo!!! do you know how long it's been since I have excercised?? its been a really long time. but i don't think afternoon walks can be an everyday thing. I thought i was going to pass out from the heat/humidity. I need to be careful with that.

la3y-glad you had fun camping. I've been wanting to build-a-bear for the longest time now. i think that is one of the cutest inventions/stores ever!!

lydia-compliments rock don't they? your a gorgeous girl. your bf knows it. he'll just have to deal with it. lol hope you feel better

brandy-yup i pretty much screwed up this game too. oh well, i guess we can call it a practice game since it was really slow. that sucks that softball season is over. my cousinz play and their seasons seem to be neverending. but don't worry, next season will be by quicker than you expect.

wendy-it sucks when your motivated to work out and youre on the injured list. I haven't started SI6, but the plan is to start today. After my walk, I am pretty pumped to work out again. I am also ready and pumped for the next game. Awesome job on the recruiting. the army/navy/marines could use someone like you!!! lol

Courtnie-you already know what I'm going to say....cute-cute-cute-cute!!!!

Welcome to all the newbies!! I look forward to getting to know everyone and playing this game with ya'll.

Enjoy the rest of your monday!!!!!

Hey ladies did any one read the note at the top.....About the weigh-in for Aug.....I think I am going to do this....Its looks like fun to see how many we can lose as group.....I can wait to see how much the total pounds will be...

You bet I'm in for that one!! I'm weighing myself tomorrow so I can be accurate!
How about it ladies? Are we in it as a group? We can tally our losses up at the end of August and see how we do!!Of course we all enter seperately but it would be good if we can motivate each other to do it! Just added motivation if you ask me!

BTW~ I think I'm drowning,I drank SO much water today!
Have a good sleep all!:hug:

UM, ladies... I think we have to kick it up a few notches for game 7..see we have some newbies for that game and um...I think they are going to uh, kick our butts!Let's not let that happen!!
Let's get our behinds in gear ladies!

I'm not letting any newbie kick my butt without one heck of a fight!!!!!!!!!! I definetly need to get my act together in preperation for the new game, but I know I can do it!!!!!

I need to find the August weigh in thread you're talking about. I'm in if I can find it although I'm a bit embarressed about my weight today-been creeping up again.

The concert last night was lots of fun, but man was it hot! I was dripping sweat worse than when I workout from just standing there. YUCK!

Lydia-hope you're feeling better and so happy you're on cloud 9 from all the well earned compliments.

La3y-glad camping was good. My nephew made the cutest bunny at build a bear, but for its "voice" he put in a roaring lion? voice. Its hysterical hearing it come out of the cuddly bunny!

Rosario-great job on the walking! You got me beat yesterday. I hid from the heat/humidity for the day and did no workout.

Wendy-You're doing an awesome job recruitting!!! I know if we put our minds to it we'll be able to hold our own against the newbies! Then we'll all be winners with all the weight we'll have lost!

Have a great one ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brandy~ It's not a thread it's in a purple bar at the top of some of the forums..:)
Going to take my GF to get her first tattoo today and I am SO jealous!I'll chat to you all later!

I am back to work meaning I will be back around the boards more haha. Puppies at home leave no time for chatting! I didn't loss last week... well maybe .2 of a pound - I ate kinda bad on the weekend but back at it this week and hopefully a loss!

Where did every one go????
Guess you think it's ok to slack off because a new game starts on Monday.........
BUT GUESS WHAT!!!!

NO SLACKIN" ALLOWED!!:coach: :rollpin: :frypan: :kickbutt:

Good morning ladies-another hot and sticky one here, but I did my 20 minute run, and walked the rest of a 4.5 mile outing. I was soaked by the end of the run. I can't wait for this to break.

I've got a party for the softball team tonight at my house. Most of the errands are done, now I simply have to sweep the pool. Wont mind that to much considering I'll do it while IN the pool.

I'm not slacking Wendy-not anymore at least-I'm back into my workouts and nothings gonna stop me now.

Have a great morning ladies. Hope to see some of you check in todayl

I need to make like Brandy and get back into working out.

I've been feeling so blah lately. With food, excercise, and everything. I hope things start picking up once this new game starts. I need them to pick up!!!

Have a grrr-eat day everyone!!!

Good morning!

Just getting ready to jump on the bike for a little while ,I'm going to SI6 this afternoon!
Have a great day!

Hey every one!!!!

Sorry for the MIA yesterday but I had a doctor app....All is well. I am on for the August thing I did my weigh in yesterday and I have my tracker all ready....I want to lost 10 but I will take what I can get.

Wendy I am not going to let any new peeps beat me....I have been slack lately but I am going to put it in gear now.....Look out here I come....How did the tattoo look?....did she like it? What did she get? Do tell all? You know I want one BAD!!!!!!!
