Down to 185.8 this morning. I am almost closer to the 170's than the 190's. I have this odd feeling that I just need to be pinched. I know I am getting relatively close to the 170's and it feels unbelievable. I have been this low before, but it's been a long time.
I definitely want to be here. My first true goal is 178, my pre-baby weight. Anyway, I'm 193 now. I'm planning on weighing myself once a week. Good luck to you all here.
Weighed in at 187.8 today - only .2 away from an even 75lbs lost. So close! I hope to be out of the 180s by the end of November. For now, I can't wait until I'm below 185. It seems surreal that I am somehow STILL losing weight, after more than 8 months.
I've (obviously) been out of it for a little while... I've been going back and forth between 188-186 for more than a month! I would find my motivation for a little while but then lose it again. But I'm going to make November my catch up month. Can't wait for my motivation to find me anymore, so now it's time to behave my way to success. I'm going to try to repeat the success I had in July, again in November.
I have my sights set on having a really great time at Christmas with my family and friends, where I don't shy away from the cameras during picture moments.
The past six months have been very rough for me. Leading up to losing my job and afterward I was so down I could hardly get out of bed. Gained back 30+ lbs I worked so hard to get off. I'm having trouble finding the motivation to do this all over again and then some but posting here is a good start, at least. Hopefully I can lose a bit of weight before Christmas so I'm able to fit into my winter clothes again

I totally get how you feel, but you know, from the outside, just looking at your numbers and how far you had already gotten, you should be very proud of yourself! You'll have ups and down but you just need to be patient with yourself. IT's ok to have a rough patch and though it sucks losing weight you've already lost before (I know ALL about that!!) you just need to pick yourself up when you're ready.
Sorry I have been MIA today. This week is going to be crazy and I am just going to try to hold on to my sanity. I have a phone interview tomorrow at 3pm and a mock interview at 5pm. Then interviews on Thursday and Friday, fly to NY on Sunday and another interview on Monday. In all that stress I am going to try to stay on my diet and not lose my mind. I have a lot of prep to do for the interviews too. Plus I have two other possible interviews that I don't know when they will occur. All of this is good, but stressful none the less. Stress has never been good for my waistline.
kymb92: Congratulations!!!
I hope to join you in the 170's very soon!!! see you in the other thread!!! (sooner rather tthan later!)
gatorgirl6: That's great news! All these interviews are a great sign! I really hope that this will set a new precedent for you and how you handle stress! I wish you well! Let us know how they go!!!
Still 191 today, though I'm hoping that's mostly from having a salty dinner last night. Had a very energizing 45 min walk this morning and a good breakfast. Although the scale hasn't moved yet, I'm already feeling more motivated and excited to lose weight again. Can't wait to fit into cute smaller sweaters I bought last spring on sale.
