[Learning 2 Live]

Ugh, period came with a vengeance today. It actually woke me up at 6:45 today. Craaaaaamps. Weighed in at 191.3. 180s you are mine!!!! at some point...

Lacyt74, don't get discouraged. You can be bummed about it for sure, but never ever give up. Sometimes your body just stalls out for a while. On New Years Day I finally made it to 199.9 lbs. Then I proceeded to lose and gain the same 3 lbs for the next 21 days. Heck on January 21st I weighed in at 199.0. You can imagine my fricken joy after 3 weeks of working my butt off being in the gym, lifting weights doing cardio 6 or 7 days a week and I lost .9 lbs. Fan-freakin-tastic... Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Fatness has just lost another 20 lbs in the same amount of time. How does she do it????? I don't even want to fathom her discipline. She just amazes me! But on the 28th I had finally progressed to a mid 190s set point. Since then I've been on agreeable terms with my scale. And I weigh daily!

curlysue82 I take kettlebell class every Wednesday at the gym I go to. I also take a circuit training class and two cardio boxing classes a week and they will sometimes have kettlebell exercises in them. My weekly KB class is only 30 minutes long and if the class is small and the people are regulars then we have a grand old time. Cuz our instructor is a bit silly at times and the rest of us girls (there's always more women than men in our classes) just talk and tell stories. Of course we're working out, but its fun. If there are new people then our instructor has to actually spend more time instructing and he doesn't have time to sing to us in that high-pitched falsetto BeeGees voice like he normally does. Booo.

So frustrated with these 190's! They like to hang on for dear life don't they? Last week I only lost .2 lbs and this week .8. Last week was TOM so I expected it, but I thought I would have a better week this week. I am doing 45-60 minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week and counting calories. I'm wondering if I am not getting enough calories in (?)

[curlysue82]

Learning to live... GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cramps suck... hope your feeling better now.. least when TOM is over there'll be a woosh

i am right there with ya weighed in this morning at 190 ... commmmmmmmmmme on already 180's ... tick tick tick ..

Ya the classes are good fun and great for having a chat and a workout eases the pain, i'm trying to save now so hence the DVD but i love the classes..

Concminus40 the 190 are so annoying... hang in there
they do move eventually... i was hanging around them for the whole of Jan trying to move it, and changed up my food this week and the lbs started to shift if your working out loads maybe your not eating enough ... are you drinking lots of water? I know i wasn't now drinking 2lts and its helping i think.. Best of luck

i am hoping ..to be signing in tomorrow to say goodbye to the 190's ...

[concminus40]

I didn't work out yesterday and ate 1500 calories, weighed this morning and was down 1.2 more lbs from yesterday. I will try to eat a little more and up my water.

[curlysue82]

Woo hooo good stuff conciminus thats a great boost
I am still hovering at 190. was good today and hoping to be down into 189 tomorrow or soon..

[coffeeshopgirl]

Decided to weigh myself this morning and I was happily shocked to see the scale show 178.8 lbs.

OMG - I was shocked. I was expecting 184-183 tops, but I didn't think I was doing that well, ya know? To cover my bases, I weighed myself again after lunch (to factor in water weight and some food) and weighed in at 181 lbs. Still awesome and lower than expected.

All I've been doing is sticking to calories and did 1 cardio workout and 2 weight lifting routines this week. I even had a few cheat treats (ice cream and a cosmo drink) too.

While weighing myself every day - even every week - isn't always the best option for me, today's early weigh-in gave me the motivation to stick with my calories and workouts because they really are working for me. So I changed my ticker and here we are.

Just wanted to share This support community has been so helpful and you deserve to know how your stories and encouragement impact my weight loss journey. So happy to have you all in my corner cheering me on!

[curlysue82]

Well done Coffee shop girl thats unreal going even with treats i like alot hehe

well i weighed in this morning and i am DELIGHTED to say that i was down 1 lb
i am out of the 190's

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo it has really spurred my on now to tackle the 180's hard... i am ready for the fight ahead..

Thanks again all for all the chats here, i shall joining the 180's thread, ill pop in again to say hi and hopefully just fly through the next decade here's hoping..

see you all there soon

Hi ....I'm in the 90s ...I keep losing and gaining the same 10lbs for the last few years....but I'm motivated to finally get out of the 190s once and for all... I weighed in today at 197.5.....my goal is to get to 150 and re-evaluate my weightless goal..

[gretel]

So...I've been weighing myself at irregular intervals. I saw 189 two weeks ago, and on Saturday, I weighed in at 188.8. But for the most part, I seem to be stuck at 190.4. So here I sit wondering and waiting for the 0.4 to budge. I think this temporary block is most mental since my previous low weight is 190. Also, I've had a lot of salty food of late, and that cannot be helping. Where is everyone else at today?

coffeeshopgirl - wow - have fun in all of the lower weight boards

[gretel]

188.2 today. I've been bouncing around 190 for 3 weeks now, but I'm going to join the 180s thread today. I'll stick around here until I go 2 weeks below 190. A 2 pound daily swing is normal for me so I'm still not out of range.

This is my new adult low weight and I'm honestly frightened that I'm just going to fail again. I have to stay positive!!!

[concminus40]

193 today. That puts my total loss at 11. YEAH!!! I hope to be seeing the 180's very soon!

[qtee]

197.5 ....after stalling all week (PMS) I finally have a .7 weightless ...woot woot

[qtee]

So I went out and purchased a treadmill..brought the box in the house and twisted my ankle on a sneaker at the bottom of the stairs..WHY ME!!!!

[coffeeshopgirl]

Oh no qtee! Sorry to hear that I hope the ankle isn't too bad and heals soon so you can use your new treadmill.

I'm getting an elliptical in the next few weeks (yay tax refund!) and I'm so excited!
