Aquareggie-Hahahahaha

I thought about that too. I be the first to give him my extra pounds. Good luck on your weekly goal.

Southern Butterfly-Good for you and staying away from candy. And yea, we (bf & me) are really trying to work on this together among other things right now.

friendsforfitness-good job keep it up!

PhotogirlTX-good job, believe me I know how tempting those cokes can be

. I fight those temptation every day. Especially since that must be my family's official drink

redballoon-lol yep that's right. BTW this is wonderful...what you started thanks. I am already thinking of my next goal/ challenge

M.N.J.-funny you say that about working out together. He was mentioning that yesterday during dinner. We currently trying to work on a couple of things together. (he has a drinking problem he struggles with)

Sandybrat-hey good going! Keep it up! I'll see you around

Everyone else....keep up the good work.

What's gotten into me? I walked this morning with a friend for 2 1/2 miles and then after work came home an did a 2 half-hour step videos. That was a lot of sweating--felt great! And then I did 20 min. of dumbell exercises.

No dessert today! I don't work at a restaurant, I'm more of a caterer for a continuing ed. center. There's an art class all week and I make lunch for the artists--and it's customary for me to eat with them. I served veg. lasagna today and I took a deep breath and only had salad and nobody commented on it; that was a relief and a revelation. [Not that my lasagna isn't delicious

. I'm going out to a Mexican rest. tonight and wanted to save up some calories.]

Everyone here is doing so well! I know I haven't commented personally a lot but I'm paying attention and enjoying getting to know you all!

Aquareggie, I'm going to go crazy here and declare next Tuesday as my vegan day. Are you with me?

PhotogirlTX · 09-25-2003, 11:03 PM

Well, I competed my third day of duel cardio exercise... One more day and I have mastered that challenge!!! I will have that in the bag tomorrow! :-) Also... still keeping my one coke for this weekend... more than likely tomorrow night.. it's pizza night here for me and the girls... and you gotta have a coke with pizza! :-)

WOW!! I am so excited... i have a bunch of "new" friends... i love it!! For those of u asking about the yoga... i havent been doing it long... but i really really like it. I do a morning session and one of these day is will work in the evening session. If you would like to try it out see if your library has the AM Yoga with Rodney Yee... hes wonderful, by far my favorite... i bought the double AM?PM yoga tape and i like him better than the woman... hes just so much more calming i guess... very nice voice. Anyway... 3 days down with the yoga and 2 wioth no eating after 7... i would like to make it earlier but hubby works til 6 and i like to eat as a family... its the one time a day we are all together. Good LUck to everyone here and i look forward to getting to know each of you better... take care of U

Hello ladies-

Late... very late,,, but I had to say that another day for me and I'm accomplishing my goal. I've done 4days already of crunches!! woohoo!!

I can't believe how many are here on this thread! It's fantastic and I feel the same as Sandy... all these new friends!

Since it's so late, I won't be chatting individually but I want you all to know that I'm proud of each and every one of you!!! We're a great bunch here!!!

Take care

Marti

redballoon · 09-26-2003, 03:30 AM

for you M.N.J.! I'm keeping vigil over this site, thanks to the time difference! You're really doing well. You've become quite an inspiration to many, I'm sure!!

Sandybrat, I hear you on the yoga tapes. I love the a.m. one with Rodney. The woman's is so boring and annoying. I've made that a.m. into my stretching routine after working out. It's so relaxing.

Aquareggie · 09-26-2003, 07:51 AM

Hi!!!

Really quick here since I have to get ready for work.

Eydie, Tuesday will be the last day of my vegan challenge... so I'll think of you to keep me motivated. Good luck to you too... I'll see you on this thread and remind you.

Will respond more later... just wanted to report one more pound lost.

This is the first time in my life I've been able to lose without counting calories.

Have a good day,
AR

friendsforfitness · 09-26-2003, 10:41 AM

Congrats on the weight loss AR! I too lost this week. and I'm just as shocked as you are, but in the opposite way. This is my first time ever counting calories and I am just shocked at how not difficult it is for me so far. I lost 3.6 pounds this week. Friday is my weigh in day so I just found out.

I am doing great with the dessert thing too. I did hanker for something sweet last night, but I just went to bed without anything.

Congrats Photo and MNJ you're both doing great! I think my next week challenge will involve a daily exercise, since that is something I struggle with and need to pay close attention to, maybe that will help me to make it a habit. Who knows.

Have a great day everyone!

Southern Butterfly · 09-26-2003, 10:41 AM

Okay, only one more day left this week of no candy at work. I plan on keeping this goal, but I'm just concentrating on getting through this week's challenge.

I didn't get to exercise last night. Bf is sick, so I was off fetching him medicine and soup. I plan on exercising as soon as I get home.

PhotogirlTX - great job on the cardio!

Eydie - all those workouts. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it!

M.N.J. - redballon's right. You are an inspiration.

Auguareggie - congrats again on the loss of the pound!

Sandybrat - good going with the yoga and no eating after 7! I want to set a similar goal, but I find it hard because I go to school at night.

I'd better get back to work!

happy dance dot · 09-26-2003, 11:39 AM

Well girls...2 more days til my weigh in. I am growing a bit anxious to know, but I don't want to step on that scale just yet. I think I'll be able to finish off the weekly challenge on a good note though. Still haven't used any of my flex points and no cheating here has happened. Oooh I can't wait to see the scale. Cross your fingers everyone. lol.

scoobysnacks · 09-26-2003, 02:09 PM

Hi everyone i think i want to jump on this 21 day plan. I would like to exercise 30 min a day and eat less carbos except for fruit.

I have been really bad today...i hate when i eat and i know its not going to feel good. so today im going to start and see what happens in 21 days.

thanks
sheryl

A warm welcome to Scooby snacks!!
I just wanted to let you know that this thread is the "One-week-at-a-time" challenge which you are more than welcome to join. I'm also with the 21 day challenge which is also helpful for me.

http://3fatchicks.com/forum/showthre...threadid=32364

I think your goals are great and you could do them here or at the 21 dayer.....

I hope you would like to join both threads because we all found them to be helpful and inspiring!!

Which brings me to the rest of you girls--me an inspiration??? Thank you... I wouldn't have thought that about myself but it sure feels good to hear!!! You ladies are absolutely wonderful!!!

I will post later tonight after my crunches.....

Marti

Southern Butterfly · 09-26-2003, 03:05 PM

Welcome aboard scoobysnacks!!!

As MNJ said, this is the one-weeker, however a lot of us do more than one challenge at a time. Breaking up challenges seems to make it easier for me because I don't have one long list of no-nos or have tos. Just a couple of things for each, which makes it seem like less.

09-26-2003, 08:59 PM

Did a pilates video today and 4 miles on the treadmill. I had to force myself because I was so tired and felt really energized afterwards!

With the help of this thread I was able to avoid dessert at work all week. Felt myself weakening today, and thought of you all and pulled thru. Thanks, friends!!!

friendsforfitness · 09-26-2003, 10:30 PM

Hiya's Just checking in to say I'm so sleepy that I know I made through another night without an empty calorie dessert. I haven't had one as of yet, and too dern tired to bother now.

Night All,
Lisa
