Thread for the 170s

jendiet · 10-30-2009, 11:37 PM

Well, the 20 something forum has a thread for specific goals...and I don't see any here. They skyrocket out of the goal forums--and I think maybe it IS BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUNGER and have more time and energy for exercise.
I am a goal oriented person. so if you are stuck in the 170s like me. come join me and share what you are doing to get out of DODGE!

I think everyone should start a "get out of the range I'm in thread" for motivation.

I am Jennifer. I am in my first year of Nursing School.Being an overachiever stresses me out more than anything. I eat more fatty, sugary things when stressed.

I got down to 170 lbs in September! Then I bounced 3 pounds up and 3 lbs down. I slacked off and gained back to 180 in no time-stress eating! Now I am back at 177. I want to get out of the 170s.

My main focus is my eating, yeah I know the importance of exercise. But my trouble is over eating.

So my goal is 1600 cs a day, and 10,000 steps on my pedometer a day.

Awesome idea, Jen. I'm gonna start my own Journey to Onederland thread - enough of staying in the 200's already!!

Boy, I'm with you on the stress eating - we have a new baby and the lack of sleep is just killing my nutritional goals. Thanks for starting this in the 30 Somethings, and best wishes for your goals!

Hi chicks! Jen, tks for starting the thread! after being at 162 last year, I let stress eating get to me and the pounds crept back on until I hit 178 in summer. That's when I discovered 3FC and so far, it's been a great inspiration. Right now my main goal is trying to find a good time to work out. I am an attorney and spend way too much time at the office. Usually I work from 9am to 9pm or later. By the time I get home and unwind, I'm just way too tired to even think about exercising. It seems like everyday I try to get up early to work out before work, but I just snooze my way through!

This weekend I bought a little black dress on sale and my goal is to wear it out for New Year's Eve. I've put it right next to my bed to see if it motivates me to get up and hit the treadmill!! Let's see how it works!

omg, I kept checkng this thread and saw no response. I am still in the 20 something thread, because it's where I started...

macu--you are so close! I got back to 170 in september, but for some odd reason..slacked off..and gained 10 lbs. What was I thinking??? What a good motivation to have a dress to "get into".

I can post here and in the other forum if someone else wants to "get out of the 170s" with me.

Good luck with your goals!

Hi, I’m 179.8 today and I want to be out of 170s. Is there someone still interested in saying goodbye to 170s too?

BrainBabiesBe · 03-19-2010, 02:13 PM

Hi All:

I'm stuck in and around 175 for the past month and I've had enough. Let's get out of here!

I'm 5'9, newly-diagnosed gluten intolerant (bread! pasta!), and spend most of my day sitting in front of a computer writing or marking students' papers. I weight train 3x per week and supplement with the Intervals-of-Death on my ellip. I have two children 2 and 5 yrs. I have a lovely, lovely summer dress from boden that I want to rock the world in at 169lbs.

B.

JENNIEO · 03-19-2010, 09:15 PM

Jennifer, I'm also glad you started this thread. Before Christmas I got down to 165 pounds, but ended up gaining over ten pounds due to poor eating and not exercising. I now teeter between 174 & 175 pounds and can't wait to get back into the 160's.

aluxa · 03-20-2010, 12:37 AM

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone

BrainB: I also spend a lot of time in front of the computer, that is a no no for weight loss LOL
Jennifer: I just started this journey a month ago.

AFChick · 03-26-2010, 03:55 PM

I'm at 183 right now, but hope to be in (then out of) the 170's soon.

aluxa · 03-29-2010, 11:40 AM

Hi, how are you doing?
I'm at 176.8 so 7.8 to say bye bye 170s.

Hopeful8 · 04-05-2010, 11:13 PM

I know most of you are dying to get out of the 170's, but as of today I'm no longer obese and I have worked my way down to 179.0. So at this very moment I'm as happy as a clam to be posting in this thread. But just like the rest of you I hope my stay in this thread is as brief as possible.

Good luck on your way out of the 170's
