Posts: 404
Hi to all of the MFP crew. I'm not new to this wonderful site but wanted to post a new thread here that myself and 4 other amazing gals want to get up and running. I know a lot of you check out and introduce yourselves on this board so I hope you like what you you read about us and decide to be a part of a winning and dedicated team.
A little background....
About a year ago i had started a thread called the Three Part Challenge. As with most things which are new and shiney
, we had a lot of people join our challenges and kept at it until gradually and sadly, most of them faded away leaving 5 of us to hold down the fort...me (Shredder), Allie, Stephanie, Heather and Christine. Who are we???? Moms, professionals, wives, girlfriends, friends, sisters....your neighbour, your support, your motivator!
These ladies have become so near and dear to my heart, I never thought in a million years that friendships like the ones we have made would sprout from this site. To know them all is to love them.
High Heels & Fishnets is about embracing our sexiness, no matter what the number on the scales read. It's about embracing our curves and feminine charm..it's being totally OK with who we are as individuals....
BUT!!!!!!
....and here's where the core beliefs come in to play, at one point or another, all of us have hit the brick wall and right now we don't want to go over it , we want to go through it, to smash into oblivion the extra weight that seems to be the ball and chain on our ankles. We all want to lose weight through exercise, proper nutrition and achieveing consistent goals.
It's really that simple. We are bound and determined that this is our year to take our bodies to the next level and we want YOU to come with us on our new weight loss journey.
What has worked for us in the past????
Setting short term weight goals.
Setting weekly challenges....# of workouts, Water consumption, Calories logged etc
Weekly weigh ins which are posted on the site for us all to see!!!Ahhhh:sad:
....and any other mindblowing ideas we have, we throw them on the table.
So....we want to get started ASAP and we want YOU!! to come with us.
What do you say? Are you tired of wishing it, dreaming it, hoping it? We need you and you need us!
We're bringin Sexy back in a big way.
Close your eyes and imagine you in that little black dress, 8" heels, black fishnets and all eyes in the room on you.
We can do this...Are you In?

OMG.....you read my mind! That is exactly where I want to be! Even though I find all my HAM in them now.....because the MISTER seems to love it! Id just like to see a little less of me hanging out!
Thank you for your motivation!
Much appreciated!0 -
I would like to be in on this! sounds just what I am feeling. what do I have to do. I have not exercised or really dieted in 5 years and all the other times were for someone other than me> I am now the important one. This time it is for me!0
-
I'll do it, but not if I have to be a size 8. lol I'll be happy at a size 12, and I'll cry if I were ever to be a size 10. I'm in this journey to feel better in my own skin, and to be healithier than I am at the moment. 0
-
Love it!!0
-
AHHHHH how awesome! I love your enthusiasm! :bigsmile: I would totally be in!
0 -
I LOVE the idea and I am IN!!0
-
I'm totally in, just tell me what I have to do I think it's a fabulous idea! 0
-
cool, count me in0
-
Some support would be nice all my friends ditched me and I really am looking forward to walking in a room and knockin' em dead! LOL
Maybe then they will wish they had stuck with it and joined me on this fab journey! 0 -
Sounds good so far. What's the catch? :huh:0
-
I'm in!!!, what do we do? I'm a size 18 and it's really hard to feel it when I see so many rolls hanging out of that skin tight stuff my hubby loves so much.:noway:0
-
That is so awesome! I know hubby would love that idea...... I get tired of failing all the time. New start today!0
-
k....just ran to the store for some dinner and back again to check MFP.
Saying that I'm sooooo delighted with this early response is an understatement.
Sounds like we have some determined gals out there and rearing to go!!!!
jaac90... you crack me up and so early in the game too." What's the catch?" you ask....none, zip nadda.
These challenges will be up to you as far as how far you want to go in them. I'm a size 12. Do I think I look good as a size 12....well, yeah, sometimes I think I do and then I may get all dolled up to go out on the town and then look at myself in a picture and think "Who the hell is that?" GGGRRRROOOSSSS. The catch is, there really is none. It's about looking in the mirror and liking/loving what you see ....and if you don't then DO somthing about it.
Happy with your size? awesome, I mean it. Love yourself and to hell with conforming to what society dictates a womens size ought to be. Me, I need and want to lose weight and I can't do it alone :sad: :sad:
I would love our group and all that we do, be based on a total democracy . Having said that I do believe in dishing out Tough Love:devil: when needed and you may as well leave the excuses at the door cause there's no entry into this elite club for that mentality.
We have to do the work..
let me get the other gals to log in and as soon as we have a healthy number in the group, we can start our engines!!!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
I completetly agree , a woman should feel beautiful , sexy and comfortable with themselves no matter what size dress or weight they choose to be , so long as your eating healthy and exercising you'll look and feel fantastic . Good luck ladies xx0

Shredder, I am so inspired by you thread and profile in fact your page title "life begins each morning" has become one of my inspirations. You'll see why from my profile... One of my major problems is having a little slip on Friday night and then thinking... well I might as well just carry on for the weekend and start again on Monday. I have been doing this for 10 years, putting too much pressure on myself, setting unrealistic and un achievable goals, and doing all of this alone, behind a secret wall of self projected fake confidence.
I AM MOST DEFINITELY…. IN.
I'd love all of your support and love to offer you all the same in return.
I can't wait for the next challenge..0 -
I'm interested! I love a challenge. Just let me know what I need to do.0
-
Well, here I am saying I want to play too! Maybe having just a friend help me is not enough. All other stuff may make me more accountable. Please let me know what I have to do!0
-
Sounds great- excited to be part of the team!

Good morning, everyone!
This is the Heather that Shredder referred to in the first post of this thread. I'll start by saying I am in on this challenge!
I love the gals that Shredder mentioned and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. The support here is amazing and there really is no catch, just motivation from others who are trying to get healthy and look better in the process.
Someone asked about a size 8...I'll probably never be a size 8! I'm a consistent size 12 now and am getting close to a 10, where I'll be happy because it's the size I graduated high school in. Woo hoo! Speaking of which, my high school reunion is in September and I want to look how I did then.
I look forward to taking this journey with all of you. We'll have fun!
Heather0 -
Well I do like fishnets on occassion, and love high heels (although I think I would break my neck in 8" unless I just stood still the whole time), so count me in too!0

Hey everyone!! I'm Allie (shredder mentioned me in the opening)... and I am in charge of putting together the spreadsheet/chart for this group!
Every week I put together a spreadsheet and attach it to this thread. It helps to see everyones progress for both the previous week and the entire challenge. So what I ask of you is that every Friday you post your weight. You can "officially weigh in" any day of the week but make sure to post it by Friday so I can update and post the spreadsheet Friday/Saturday.
We'll start with this Friday to get an idea of who's really interested in this challenge. Post your current weight and your goal weight. Also, if you miss a Friday expect a message from me! lol I dont mean it mean or nasty I just know that sometimes you have a bad week and dont want to report...but just remember that if you dont hold yourself accountable then it's likely youll keep slipping up. (And don't worry everyone has off weeks!)
I hope everyone's as excited as I am!!0 -
Allie: Thanks for being our spreadsheet keeper! I appreciate your hard work and holding us accountable to weigh in!
Here are my stats:
Current weight: 192.8
Goal weight: 160
I love the name of this thread. I plan on wearing a dress and 3" stiletto heels for my birthday dinner on April 24th, so this is perfect! I don't think I have the dress to go with fishnets yet, though!0 -
Wow! This sounds great! I want in!!!0
-
okay i'm in .. after reading all those reply's how could one NOT be excited!! Here's my stats..
Current Weight 200lb
Goal Weight 120-125 lbs0 -
I would lke to join as well. Count Me in!0

There's my girls....Hi Heather and Allie!
So you heard it from Allie, this Friday (April 16th) will be the offiicial launch of our challenge.
What does that mean to you???
Well, there are a couple of things you have to be consistent with and accountable for.
First and foremost, roll-call!
Allie will put your name on the spreadsheet ONLY if you sign up for the challenge. I know that not everyone is comfortable posting their weight and may simply like this thread for the fun and motivation we all strive to provide:laugh: So, if that's what you want from this, we are totally cool with that....no pressure. You may decide to participate down the road.
Second, you need to post your SW (Start weight) and GW (goal weight). Your start weight will be the number the scale reads on Friday. I for one am not posting until Fri as my weight right now is deplorable, I'm buying a few days so a not to shame myself on weigh day too bad :ohwell:
Failing to post your weight for 2 consecutive Fridays will mean your scrubbed from the spreadsheet. Is that a little harsh? No, we are adults and accountable for ourselves. If you sign on then you're serious about the work that you need to do, and out of respect for the group and yourself, will remain true to your commitments. Also, you do not want Allie hunting you down!!!:noway:
We're here to achieve results. Remember that "no excuses" are allowed, we're just over that.
Goal weights and times to achieve will differ for almost everyone. What has worked for us in the past is to keep short term goals in view with "mini" weight loss. It's nice to hit those numbers and does wonders for the desire to keep going.
As a group we need to come up with goal dates. By the 16th, our first weigh in, we will only have 15 days left in April...2 weeks to jumpstart a challenge? What do you guys think? For me, that would equate to a goal of losing 5 pounds. Totally doable! Mmmm, 5 pounds doesn't seem like a lot but for me it's more about the mental game and "sticking" with the program that becomes the struggle.
Anyway, I'm curious to know what you guys feel about it and if there's any super duper ideas out there, please, shout em out.

I am SO in – Today is my first day joining MFP, and this is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you Shredder for posting this . . . . it’s like it was meant to be :happy:
I joined this site hoping that I would find others who had the same goals as me, and would help keep me accountable, and provide the support I need to achieve my goals. I am very excited to start this, and have already made the appointment in my calendar so I don’t forget to weigh in on Friday! . . . . here’s to that little black dress, fishnets and the sexiest high heels I can imagine!
