Default See you, 150s

I hope there isn't one of these already. I didn't see it. It feels super weird to be in the 150s, but in a good way. As of yesterday, I am at 158.5. 155 signifies 100 pounds gone AND no longer being overweight. Eep!

There won't be many of us, largely because some of the taller ladies will stop before this, but I'm here!! I hit my low of 156.8 a few weeks ago, but have bounced back up. I'm 159 this morning.

I think I'm going to be here a while.

I feel like I will be, too. I weighed this morning at work and was back up half a pound. Ugh. I really just want to be 155 by 12/3. I have a special event that weekend and would like to not be overweight officially when I go. Not that it makes a real difference.

Great job ladies! That's so amazing. You give such inspiration for those of us still in the 200's.

Awe, thanks Kerie! I look forward to the day you make it to the 150's!

I have a special even too, but mine's early March. I have a wedding to go to with family I haven't seen in years. It is NOT why I started this weight loss, but when the wedding was announced about this time last year, I thought WONDERFUL! I'll be at goal! Now I'm not so sure. I'm content to stay where I am, and honestly if it weren't this wedding I just might. But this wedding is making me press forward. So I guess it's a good thing. My extended family is really ugly about weight. They never say anything directly to the person, but everyone knows how everyone feels about everyone else who is fat. And they're all gorgeous people.

Thanks Kerie! You'll be here in no time!

That's sucky, Eliana. I hope you are the topic of the day, but about how GOOD you look!

My event is my grandmother's surprise party. She's been worried that I'm going to die for forever and it will be a nice surprise for her that I'm not at death weight. ha.

That's funny in a sadistic sort of way. I hope she's happy for you.

159.6 today. I'm really hoping this is water weight and logically I know it is. But it takes forever to go away!

I'm at 158 on the nose today.

I know I hold onto water weight for a long time sometimes. It's annoying. One day of sodium has 3-4 days of repercussions for me. But it always goes away.

I have 2 weeks to lose 3 more pounds to meet this goal. I would really like to get it gone before then, but I'll take what I can get. Honestly, though, I've only lost 3 pounds so far this month, so I really hope the rest of the month is meltaway time. Typically that's how my body works, but we shall see.

Thanks so much ladies! I'm still trying to train my mind to realize that I've already lost a significant amount of weight. I just get discouraged when I look in the mirror and still see that 340lb girl. But I've realized that if I could lose 60lbs, then I could lose another 60lbs, and then another 60lbs and be at goal. When I started I had 190lbs to lose but now it's only 130lbs and that doesn't see as bad anymore. Much more doable!

Kerie, I still see me at 255 a lot of the time in the mirror. It is a work in progress, I guess.

156.5 today. I have a week and a half to lose a pound and a half. Seems doable.

Apparently I was wrong that last week was my big loss week of the month and it's this month. 154 today. I made my goal of 155 a week and two days early and only have 19 pounds left to lose. Which is crazy. And awesome.

Oh wow, congratulations Rachael! You did have a big loss!

Me, I'm still barely here at 159. I haven't seen that low of mine in a long time and I so determined to get there. I do not like long plateaus. These last pounds are going to fight me tooth and nail.

Thanks!

Eliana, you'll be where you want to be, though. You have more stick-to-it-iveness than any person I have ever seen. Seriously.
