My scale never shows progress till Sunday. That's why I decided to just weigh on Sunday.

Hey Rodeo Girl...I didn't even seen this thread until this morning. I think I'm under 290 now, but I don't do my official weigh-in until Sunday. I thought that was weird that there wasn't a thread for 290 but there seemed to be for every other weight range.

Personally, I can't believe what a difference there was in my personality when the scale was under 300. I still weigh too much to use my sister's scale...but hopefully in another month or two I will be able to.

Yeah, even though the scale is sort of stuck right now I feel so much better than I did in March. I'm getting more exercise and just feeling better about myself.

I'm hoping for a happy whoosh soon!

JustB we don't suck at life, we are rockin it - tell TOM I said to shuddup! :)

Hey Rodeogirl,

I'm pretty new here and just found this thread . . . I weight 296 when I joined the board. I'm down to 293.6 . . . Is this the place for me until I get down to _under_ 290? I think that's what the board title means. If so, yay, because I have lots of bellyaching to do . . . I mean I need lots of support. :) (Will give it back too, of course!)

Today is a much better day than yesterday!

Must go to the gym...... I was doing so well for so long, and then let it go. It is so hard to get back into good habits, but so easy to go with the bad habits.

I shouldn't wait, but I'm targeting Monday as the day I start back up at the gym, and no stopping for two weeks. I figure that I will be back in the swing of things within that time. I hope.

Hey Rodeo!! I'm 291 - hoping not be on this board by monday. But we'll see! LOL

Welcome Eviebaby!

Slashnl getting back into good habits is so much harder than starting bad ones!

Yes welcome to any who are in the 290's! We hope your stay is brief and that you zoom on to the next thread as soon as possible! :)

Thanks! :)

And lol about hoping my stay here is brief. Back at you.

And as the scale is finally moving and I hit 191.6 today, maybe I will into the 280s thread as soon as next week. Yay!

Hopefully the rest of us will be following right behind you!

I swear I've been bopping around the 290's for months now! I haven't actively been trying to lose again until about a month ago when I had gotten back up to 300, but seriously I'm so so so ready to move past 290. Seems like such an impossible obstacle, glad I'm not alone up here!

Definitely not alone. Definitely not impossible!

JustB1027: I hope that, too. Good luck and see you in the 80s. :)

Sarah: You're re-motivated and re-starting for reasons so similar to mine. My scale said 297 and this little voice said, "Remember all those years ago when you thought you may be packing a bit of extra weight, sure, but you'd never hit 200 lbs . . . Look how you met and surpassed that! Don't make that mistake with 300!"

You are definitely not alone--and you'll be past this perceived obstacle sooner than you know.

See you in the 80s!

p.s. I love your quote. Good little kick in the butt. :) :)

It will sound so funny, but even though I was just in this 290s thread for a week, it was a HUGE help to me. Having such a tangible goal (get into the next thread) kept me focused, and see all the success-telling graphs made me so excited for the day when I'll have one. I want to see my little icon moved a bit along, not right at the beginning of my goal when I qualify for a weight-tracker.

And now, hooray, here's my good news: I weighed in at 288.6 today . . . So see you in the 80s. Hurry, I can't wait to visit you there! :)
