Hi! I have been stuck in the 150s forever myself. Bouncing from 154 to 158 and back. I think I need to ramp up my exercise because I don't get to the gym nearly as much as I should and I rely too heavily on diet alone. Hoping to kick the 150s soon!
Hi everyone! I've been bouncing around 157-159 for the past month. I know that if I cut the sweets, I'd be losing. I need motivation, I haven't found it yet.
I would also like to start exercising- I know I'd feel better.
I am right there with you! Been stuck between 150 -151 for over a week. At this point i will be thrilled to lose 1 or 2 pounds just to see the 140's!! Makes me wonder if my body just plain likes this weight best
I'm here! I'm here! YAY! 159.0 this morning. I've been sick for a few weeks and haven't been able to exercise so my weight loss has slowed down, but I am thankful to see this pound gone! I predict that this decade will be slower than the last (about 5 weeks), but that's okay. I almost feel like I'm at a maintenance weight but "fine-tuning" more than on an all-out weight loss mode. I'm a size 10 and feel good. I think it will take some discipline to keep up my calorie level the further I get. I do want to get at least to 145, so complacency will be an enemy.
Well after 3 days in the 150s, I guess I have officially graduated from the 160s thread. My goal was to be in the 150s by Valentine's Day and I made it with a few days to spare.
My next goal is to hit 149 by the end of March. I've been pretty much on plan and working out at least 5-6 days a week since August, and diet fatigue is setting in. I'm a little tired of constantly thinking about weight loss. Hopefully my last 20 lbs won't give me too much trouble.

Hey shrinkberry! Congrats! I have to think each "decade" means slower losses, but I'll still cross my fingers for one every 6 weeks.
158 today!! I'm officially the smallest I've been in 10 years. Very weird feeling. It's a good thing, but I don't feel as small as I did the last time I was here. Our perceptions are always a bit odd, I guess. Oh well, I'm looking forward to more results and getting through these 150s and feeling what it felt like to be in the 140s. Wow! That's a little mind blowing for me.

Yay, that must be an awesome feeling after 10 years.
But, I know what you mean about body perceptions. I personally still feel overweight, even though I am consistently wearing size 8 or loose size 10 pants. When I was in the 160s, I thought I would feel better in the 150s but that hasn't been the case. After only 4 days, I'm already dreaming about hitting the 140s. I suppose I need to take a moment to sit back and think about how far I've come.

TOM came and brought 159 with him. Okay, dude - You've overstayed your welcome. Feel free to leave now!!
I'm in the exact same spot and sadly won't meet my monthly weight loss goal as a result. First month since I started losing weight that I didn't lose 10lbs. My goal this month was only 6lbs and I still won't make it. I'm back on the wagon with a consistent diet and workout schedule after a week of feeling blah about weight loss. TOM go away.
Got a funny compliment from my co-worker yesterday. She has been calling me "skinny girl" since I weighed about 180lbs (yes, it was annoying and slightly embarrassing since I was anything but skinny at that weight). Anyway, yesterday she stopped me and said "Wow. Now you're actually skinny. You could totally stop here and look great". Definitely not stopping at 158, but it is nice to get compliments when I'm feeling the TOM blahs.

That is nice! I am always a little awkward with weight compliments, too. TOM left a week ago and took his extra pounds with him and I dropped 3 in 3 days, now stall again. I swear my body loses weight but the scale just won't show it for a while. I'm hanging out at 155. I think being closer to 150 than 160 will be kind of weird. I still can't fathom the 140s right now, but once that happens, maybe I will be able to?

A little whoosh down to 156.8 this week. I have the same loss then stall pattern post-TOM, but sometimes the whoosh comes right before TOM. It's very weird and annoyingly inconsistent.
I also can't fathom the 140s right now either, even though I spent most of my 20s there. But, I'm definitely looking forward to it, especially since I feel like my size will be stable enough to buy some new clothes for the spring/summer. It will be my reward for staying on track through March and hopefully getting to 149 by the beginning of April.
150's Anyone?
