Holy crap. I NEVER thought I'd get here. I've spent like 6 months in the 150's.
Wow. I must have stepped on and then stepped off the scale like a million times to make sure it was right. I was groggy and sleepy and thought I must be hallucinating. I even moved it a couple of feet to the right to make sure the ground hadnt magically slanted over night and was messing up its calibration. Wow.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! OMIGOD!!!!!! Way to go honey! I'm so proud of you!!!!! Lil' jealous!!! BUT SO PROUD!!!! You're leaving our thread!!! AHHH!!!!!!!
Wow, that totally takes the wind outta my sails!!!! I went from 153.4 yesterday... down to... *drumroll please* 151.6 today. Oh yeah! OH YEAH!!! *moronic happy dance* I'm keeping my ticker up, because who can believe a drop like that!? But I'm so glad I didn't let yesterday's higher number get me down, because look where we are today!!!!
Jelbb and spirits-- yay!! I weigh in this afternoon after an odd weekend...I really don't know what to expect, but I'll be happy just holding steady for now. As a whole, the last 10 days were NOT GOOD diet-wise. This week I'm going to be extra good so I can join you ladies on the downward trend!!
155!! I feel great. I went the last 10 days by no means on a diet, just paying attention to how much I was eating and how much I was burning, and trying to achieve some sort of balance. And I lost a #. Yessss!
Edit: And I finally got my ticker!! Happy day

I'm bouncing between 159 and 160, but I'm going to be defiant and change my ticker anyway. TOM is here, hopefully I will finish out the week at with a loss at 158 once the water weight is gone....
I haven't posted much in this thread because I've been so discouraged by the lack of any change over the last few months, but I stepped on the scale today and I weighed in at 148 so feel I can officially declare I'm out of the 150's!!
I'd completely forgotten the feeling of accomplishing a goal like that. I wanted to be out of the 150's before July and though it was a close call, I managed to do it.
Good luck, ladies!! And thanks for being such a great support group!
Forest:
Congrats on your loss! 155, woo! Halfway there!!!!
Skinnywish:
Hey, wayta not gain on the weekend! It's hard not to sometimes!! Good job!! Congrats on your new low!
Aurora:
I'm sure once evil TOM is gone, your number will drop down to 158! Welcome permanently to the 150s thread!
Ruby: !!! Congratulations, and GOODBYE!!! Way to go on making it out! We're all so proud of you! Good luck in the 140s!!!
As For Me...
I was back up to 153.0 today from my crazy insane 151.6 number, but I'm not too upset! My body fluctuates lots, so that's fine! The important thing in MY mind is that my daily measurements are finally showing a loss. I've lost half an inch from around my natural waist, and half an inch from around my hips.. and probably 3 or 4 inches from around my bust, but we won't go there...! It's just great to see that numbers-wise or not... I'm obviously making a difference in my body, and that's what really matters to me!!!
Jelbb - Losing inches is really the way to do it! Good work at the losses! I had my husband take pictures of me in my goal jeans the other day (which don't even do up yet ) so I can compare that way...
Ruby - Congrats on 148!!!!
Forestroad - WTG on 155! And lovely ticker
As for me, another small drop today to 156.2lb...and that's after splurging on a hamburger ad fries last night....WTH?!?!
I'm back to my all-time low... 153.2. I have planned out my meals to hit 1200-1300 calories and lost almost 3 lbs in two days! BUT... I don't really count that as "losing" since I bounce up and down within those 3 lbs all the time.. almost 4 months now! Once I get below this current weight, THEN I'll feel like I'm losing weight... finally!
My birthday is in 10 days... can I have the 140s for my birthday? Please please please?
joyra - Congrats on getting back to your lowest weight. 153.2 is my lowest weight also, and I was almost back there when TOM bloat hit me. Hopefully that will have subsided by the time I weigh in on Monday. I want to see a new number!
skinnywish - My biggest drops are usually after eating pizza. Not sure what is going on with that.
Jelbb - Way to go with inches lost. I need to take my measurements, but one of my siblings has run off with my measuring tape.
Ruby - CONGRATULATIONS!! You made it out of the 150s. It is encouraging to know that it is possible (I sometimes wonder.....)
I'm going to be visiting with my Grandma this weekend. I'm going to try to stay on plan, but her way of showing love is to stuff me until I can't move........it can be hard to say no. She does have a treadmill, so I'm going to at least get my walking in, even if I don't eat perfectly.
joyra - congrats on the all time low! keep up all the hard work!
montecristo - have fun with your grandma. Why is it that that generation loves to see their loved ones eat?? My grandma is the same, and if I say no thanks, she says "are you dieting? you're too skinny!"....oh well, it's all out of love! and I don't know about yours, but my grandma is an awesome cook!
SO.....I jumped on the scale this morning and i was 155.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!!! This was one of my first goals, and I now get to book a pedicure as a reward!!!!! Off for a run now....
I FINALLY lost a new lb... for the first time since MARCH.
I owe it all to planning all my meals ahead of time and keeping calories between 1200-1400. For months I was a calorie counter that adding up all my calories AFTER I ate them. I thought planning ahead was too strict. Well, I'm finding that not to be true. Yesterday I even planned on a glass of wine and dessert, still kept my calories under 1400... and had a one lb loss overnight.
So it's working! I just want to lose 2.2 more lbs before my birthday in 9 days.
I had popped back up to 161 on Tuesday, and was at 160 yesterday, but today I was down to 158.2 Water retention much?
3.7 lbs til I'm no longer "overweight." Hoping I can lose it before I go on vacation with friends on July 18th, but if I don't that's fine too. I'm just so excited! I'm getting very close to being as skinny as I was the summer I was sixteen (150 lbs, size 12).
You're leaving our thread!!! AHHH!!!!!!!
