I need to get out of the 170's!! I am terrified of getting into the 180's.

I was 177.5 today.

That scares me, too. Weigh-in is Wednesday and I'd hate to see a '180' pop up on that scale...

I have been OVER my points EVERY single day. I haven't gone over my weekly allotment, but I've gone over my daily points.

Welcome to the club everyone!!

I've been doing all right today- I have yet to workout but I have almost everything else on my huge to-do list done so as soon as my hubby gets home and can watch the baby, I'll be good to workout!

Keep up the good work ladies- you can do it, you can do it!

I'm doing okay too. I had a bit of a scare late last week, but that was all contributed to "my monthly visitor." I jumped 3 lbs on the scale & was dangerously close to 180. NOT okay! So, I'm now back to my comfortable 176 & pushing for it to just GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO away.

I'm so close!! The 170s is my May goal but I need the support. I've done well so far this week...probably drank too much alcohol though. I'm not a binge drinker like in college and I don't drink to get drunk, but when I socialize, we drink. And that PACKS on the calories. I just need to learn to make that one drink last all night!

I pop in and out of the 170s every single week I swear. I'm always staggering the 180 line. As of today I am 180.2 so I'm crossing fingers that tomorrow I'll be seeing the 170s again.... and from there then who knows!

I'd like to get out of the 170s by the end of June but at the rate I'm going I have no idea if it's possible. But I'm totally ready and willing to keep trying!

I'll post my measurements tomorrow.

Count me in! I can't seem to get out of the 170s. I've been yo-yoing between 170 and 173 for weeks now. Plateaus are so frustrating!

But better in the 170s than the 180s, right?

my back hurts when I exercise and I can't keep my posture straight when I sit. My mom says I'll turn into a hunchback. I think so too. There's just so much fat on my back that if I want to sit up straight, I really have to make an effort! and it hurts ....so what do I do to gain flexibility on my back? everytime I bend, I can feel my spine hurt. Any thoughts?? suggestions? this was random I know lol but seriously. My back is going out like I'm 100 years old. This sucks

Have you tried pilates or yoga? OR visiting a physical therapist?

I know pilates and yoga both will really help with posture when done correctly, and help develop that strength, but it might be really helpful to speak with a professional first.

Only at 178.6 (down .2), but I was on vacation (out of my usual routine) for half of last week. At least I haven't gained. I'm very optimistic about tomorrow.

OK, ladies. I finally got up the courage to face the music and weigh myself.

I feel a little dumb because this is PMS week so I'm definitely bloated and up a few pounds because of it, but oh well, I weighed and this is my current wait...

176.8


GASP. I know, but honestly I was expecting like 178 for how I was feeling.

Moving forward... I have a good little workout routine, I just gotta keep with it and eat right and wait a few weeks before I really see results (i'm a slow result haver haha)

HOw are you all doing??
