20-Somethings - See you later 180's!!

The old thread was locked, so I started the new one!

Kinda sad that I am still in the dang 180's though- up again to 180.8. Wish I could atleast get a tiny budge. I've been on the up for a few days now, and it is really irritating! Hope tomorrow brings a better number. I am doing everything right, thinking maybe it is water retention :?: since I haven't worked out in ages and just got back to the gym routine these last 2 weeks.

Hope every one else is getting better numbers than me! :D

Hi Jaimie, I'm not a 20-something but I can relate to I have been bouncing between 173 and 180 for awhile. My new number is 175 quite often. Best of luck to us both in getting away from 180 forever :)

Congrats on the weight-loss thus far!! While you're surely heading out of the 180s in no time, I'm clawing to get into the 180s! Best of luck!

187.6! Been hovering around the 180s for too long now. Time to get back to business!!!!

The good news is im a good 178 & going down .

the really bad news is that ive bought a new scale & on there im 183 jeeez!!!!!! So i guess im sticking around abit longer. (which is fine i like you guys!)

I'm still stuck around 182-5 :S I have had to re-evaluate my lifestyle big time, because it didn't fit in with my new job. I've started eating more calories so I don't expect to see a loss for a while until my body gets used to it.

I'm hobbling around the 180-182 lbs mark. I think I might scream in victory when I see a 17_ number!

after getting to 167 in march i'm now a whopping 182 *sigh*

Hey ladies! Don't lose hope, as we are all super close!

Love and Shell- Thanks for the kind words....we will all be in the 170's soon, and we will not allow ourselves back out!! Shell, you will be here in no time, and Love, this time for good is for good! I can totally relate, I was 171 in January, and I let it go. Dang. But once I am out I am never coming back!! And you aren't either- 175 sounds mighty good right now!!

Mish- 178!!! To he L L with that new scale! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Hopefully the new one is wrong. I totally would have returned the new one on the premise that it was 'off'. Kuddo's to you for going with it!!

Amandie- Stick to it girl, and the 180's will fly by! WE all need to exit these 180's and go to 170's so that thread is not so dull!

Super- What's the new life style? Maybe I missed it somewhere....but you have to take control, and not let these 180's become a plague! I have been 178-182 for 6 months, and I hate it. You will pull through and get to those 170's!!

Riestrella- AHHHH! I will be screaming from the top of the roof with you! My scale is playing some serious mind games with me lately and I am so ready to say goodbye to the 180's its sick! Lets get out of here, serioulsy!

Lexi- I so feel your pain, I was sooooo close to the 160's but I slipped up and gained back the whole 170's. Let's commit to this and get out of here once and for all!

As for me....179.6 today, but I will take it. I've been staring at 18__ for too long. I have 113 days to see the 155, and I am bound and determined. Let's do this ladies!!! I just want to be normal weight again!

Hey Jaimie :) I now work in a very big school and my activity levels have sky rocketed. As well as going to the gym after work.
My body laughs at 1200 and raises me excrutiating hunger pains. I raised my calories to 2000 hoping to maintain for a while until I get a handle on my hunger then slowly drop down until I reach a levels that allows me to lose (albeit slower) but doens't leave me starving.

I gained a little bit, which I expected then I was maintaining on 2000 but (don't wan't to speak too soon) I think I actually may be losing, I'll have to give it another week though!

Congrats on 170's!! I hope it sticks. What is in 113 days if you dont mind me asking? I have an end of year goal to reach 150 :cloud9: although I will be happy with whatever as long as I am still losing/trying and exercising.

Congrats Jaimie! I'm at 181 lbs this morning. Sometimes I think that the scale will never move, but then I remember when I was 193 so I must be getting somewhere!

New scale 182
Old scale 177/8

oh my days!!!!!! :)

I've been hanging out between 187-188 for about a week or so now. I had horrible yesterday but also was walking/on my feet all day and got a good workout in so I'm hoping it's just a wash and I can move on from there. :crossed:

Then this morning I woke up so stiff I can barely move from sleeping in a funny position (thanks to my daughter getting scared last night and then literally sleeping on top of me for the last hour or so). Hopefully it eases up as the day goes by and I can at least go swimming or something... I really want to get to 185 soon (just overweight then!!).

185.4 lbs this morning! I'm getting near halfway~ :D

Finally I have had a very small budge the last 2 days. 179.2 this morning. Although its not what I have been hoping for, I will take it. I'm going to need a miracle to get back on pace with my goal. Waiting till staying in 170's for 3/4 days before moving threads.

Go Jaimie, you are heading in the right direction!

181.4 :carrot: I'm not moving my ticker yet though because on weekends I always weigh in later than weekdays so I want to prepare myself for a slight bounce. Also I have been eating 2000 calories for over a week now and losing *mind blown* (after initially gaining though) I don't think i'll be back down to 1200 for a looong time, if ever.

Sorry for the back to back posts but i'm too excited. 180.2 this morning :D hope everyone has a good Monday

Supergirl!!! That's AWESOME! Wish I could eat that and lose. Totally jealous.

I was hanging at the 179.## range for a couple days, and this am crested back over the 180 mark. Shucks. So looks like I will be hanging here a bit. Sad to say... Anyways, went to muscle work this morning, and I work tonight so that keeps me active. This week should be a better week for me. Weekends are tough, and when I mess up, and this coming weekend I work. I will be in the 170's for good by Sunday.

Hello, 180s. I haven't seen you in YEARS!! Watch out. I'm going to be seeing you no later than Friday of this week. Mark my words!! XD

Thank you Jaimie, no one is more surprised than me. I though I would be taking a maintenence break.

I'm at 179.6 today. July is being nice to me because June was sooo bad. Tom this week though:dizzy:

im still unsure wtf is going on, but im still here! Mega stall!

Dang Mish!! You will hit it soon, be patient!!

Supergirl- Holy buckets that was fast! See you in the 170's lady!

Weigh in this am- 178.2. If I see another 178 something tomorrow, I will be making the leap! Yay!

I was stuck for the whole of June my biggest stall yet it was very scary, I'm not gone yet though :D

182.0! Congrats to all those who lost this week and better luck to those who didn't. I'm down 2 pounds this week and would love to see another two gone next Wed. :D

Super! Awesome that July is going well!

Red- Almost there! 2 pounds a week is not as easy now as it used to be!

179.8. Not sure why my body feels the need to gain almost 2 pounds over night. Sucks tho.

Hello everyone! I hit 180 lbs today on my official weigh in day. Just 1 pound to go until I see that beautiful 17_ number! Then I'll be officially out of the obese BMI zone!

Hi guys! Figured I would bump this thread with some good news - I'm in the 170s! It took me 11 weeks but I'm finally here at 178 lbs and no longer obese =). Thanks for all the support, good luck guys! <3

i was looking for the 180' thread and couldn't find it. well i finally did.
riestrella congrats!!!!

i'm 188 and hoping to get out of here as soon as possible.

184.8. Down almost two pounds and its the first day of my TOM! Hoping for even better results next weigh in when I will be all moved in for law school!

I am so sick of you 180s. Ive been bouncing around between 186 and 189 for weeks. I started strength training, so I'm hoping the stall is just some muscle gain (seemed to have misplaced my measuring tape so I can't tell if inches have been coming off).

I really want(ed?) to be under 185 by August 12th when I move.

I hear you on being sick of the 180's! I always go through these decade threads so slowly that I'm pretty sick of whatever decade I'm in by the end. ;)

I'm 186 now (actually for a few days but I forgot about this thread) and hope to reach 185 and a healthy BMI ASAP!!!!!!!!:carrot:

184 checking in here. I got all the way down to 181.2 before ballooning up this week. Hoping it's at least partially because it's week before TOM for me. Either way, hoping to get out if the 180s soon! Maybe after TOM? My appetite is always non-existent then, though the week before is a different story!

I'm soooo ready to get out of the 180s. I was happy to get here cause I hovered in the 190s for a few years before finally gaining and getting out of them. I can't tell you how long it's been since I was in the 170s...probably since my last year of high school/first year of college. And that was 10-11 years ago!


Last time I weighed (a little over 2 weeks ago), I was 182.1. Surely when I weigh Friday, I'll be out of them...hopefully! I have a love/hate relationship with my scales, minus the love part. They terrify me. It's only Tuesday (I say cause I haven't been to sleep yet) and I'm nervous about the weigh in! Cross your fingers that they'll be good to me! :)

Good luck everyone....hope to see you all in the 170s thread real soon! :D

I weighed-in at 185 today, I'm no longer obese!!!!! :carrot:

bamagirl28- I haven't been in the 170's for about 3 years (it was my prepregnancy weight) so I feel your pain! Good luck on Friday, I can't imagine waiting that long to weigh-in, I'd go crazy! ;)

Congrats Running!! Awesome job!!

I'm back on the site after a couple months because I'm in Canada for the summer and haven't been able to weigh myself consistently. I was 196 when I left home on June 10 and today I'm 188.8! YAY! I've indulged in beer, pizza, steak, potato salad, etc while on vacation so I'm happy to see some loss. lol. Time to get back on plan though!

Hope everyone has a great day! :D

That's great, what a pleasant surprise after vacation!

Thanks, running! lol I get kinda antsy and want to weigh just to check every now and then but I'm trying to keep from relying on the scales so much. I started the 12 weeks to take off thread and was weighing in every week and realized I was stressing myself out...so I decided to stop weighing so often and only weigh after 21 days (mostly cause this program I have starts you off at 21 days and asks you not to weigh until after that's over). So I didn't weigh for 3 weeks but was doing really well with exercising and stayed on plan for most of those days. When I weighed last time I was super nervous but pleasantly surprised when I found out I had lost 15 lbs! :)

It's kinda suspenseful but I'm actually looking forward to getting on the scales again to see how much I've lost. Gives me something to look forward to. A part of me is still dreading it too, though. Like I said, I hate the scales.

Scales suck. :( In the past, when I've tried to lose weight, I've done weekly weigh-ins, but this time, I decided to try weighing myself daily.

My weight has been either stable or up this week, and seeing the number in the morning is so demoralizing. I know it's the week before TOM, and this always happens to me, but still. Boo.

what is everyone's calorie intake? I am driving myself crazy I have been 187-189 for the past month. 189 for the past three weeks to be exact uggh. I have tried calories ranges from 1200-2000 and upped and downed my workouts. I used to be able to drop weight like crazy and I am stuck. I figure if you all are losing weight at around my weight category I could try and base it off you successful 180's people. Pretty please :)

cierranevada: Oh my gosh this is my life! I dropped from 220 to 210 in like 2 weeks. I've been between 187 and 189 (with one weigh in at 186.7) for the past month -- 187.7 this morning.

Currently I'm doing 1200 calories and exercising 6 days a week (strength training x 3, cardio x 3), but I've gone down to 3 days a week just cardio, and up to 2000 calories a day trying to get my weight to move from this plateau. My latest try to trick my body plan is to significantly up the amount of protein (bought a container of whey yesterday and made a vanilla protein shake for breakfast) and decrease the amount of carbs I eat. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have absolutely no advice, but you're not alone.

Have you guys been taking your measurements? I had a period in the lower 190's where I didn't lose FOREVER but I was losing inches like crazy.

Also you might want to try calorie cycling or increase them a bit. 1000-1200 might be too low if you're exercising frequently (but I'd check your measurements first!).

I'm joining you ladies here. I lost some weight earlier in the year, and then got depressed and put it all back on plus a few pounds. currently at 189, hoping to be 179 in a few weeks.

cierranevada -- I haven't been counting calories these past few weeks, mostly because I'm home and eating a lot of ethnic food. Hard to find calorie counts for homemade meals! I am watching what I eat though, just cutting down on sweets and snacks, small portions, etc.

InsidetheBeltway -- Totally busted out my protein powder this morning after reading your post. Made a shake with almond milk and it made me incredibly full. Good stuff!

runningfromfat -- Haven't really been taking my measurements. I usually see a drop in scale weight before I see a drop in inches. Is that weird? I've never really measured consistently though, so I should probably try that.

Anja -- Welcome! Depression is tough on your mind and body. However, exercise and healthy eating have been scientifically suggested as remedies for depressive behavior, so good luck! :) Emotional eating is difficult, but endorphins are awesome.

In other news, I finally saw a loss today--the first one this entire week! Only thing I did different yesterday was drink more water. I know day-to-day WI's are partially flukes, but still. Drinking more water as we speak :)

Well...I weighed this morning cause I realized that TOM's close...real close. Ughhh...I'm retaining water right now because I was down 3 lbs in 3 wks. 3 wks of being on plan! I've already ranted about this on another post so I'll spare y'all. Anyways that put me right at....wait for it....179.9. How lovely to see a 7 instead of an 8! I figure I should hang around in here for a little bit longer though cause it was a one time weigh in and only .1 lb away from the 180s. Anyways by the time TOM's come and gone hopefully I'll be well out of the 180s!

And yes, running, I keep track of my measurements also. I measure once a month usually. Sometimes those measurements keep me hanging in there, especially when the stupid scales aren't moving like they should. In fact, this week I even made a spreadsheet of measurements that calculates how many inches lost from measurement to measurement and total inches lost since the beginning of my journey.....yes, I'm a dork. :D

I've been stuck in the 180's all year. :( Sadly it has just crept up to a now 188. I have only seen the 190's while 9 months pregnant so this is very depressing for me. I have been trying to eat healthier this week but it seems to not be enough. Today i'm starting meal replacement shakes/smoothies for 2 meals a day (plus one real meal a day and vege/fruit for snacks) and see if that helps any.

183 today! I'm so excited:D and i am ready for my physical agility test at the end of the month. i ran 1.5 miles in 14 minutes 35 seconds on Wednesday on a track! WOOHO!

bamagirl28 -- I feel your pain. TOM should be next week for me, and I am all kinds of bloated. Also, cranky. Bad combination.

taramade -- Good luck! I'm sure you can do it. Just keep it up w/eating and exercising.

kells629 -- Awesome! I'm so not a runner, so I'm impressed by anyone who can!

Today, I weighed in at 185!! So, three possibilities.

1. I gained 3 pounds in a week.
2. Pre-TOM bloating/water weight.
3. The scale hates me.

I'm guessing it's a combo of 1 and 2, but I'm seriously leaning toward 3 right now...

lol firefoxy hopefully its number 2 for both of us....either that or 3. I've decided scales are the devil!

firefoxy: Definitely voting number three right now. Weighed in at 188.0 this morning, even though official weigh in day isn't until Monday -- I weigh in every day to either torture myself or get a better idea of where I am (can't decide which right now.)

But finished Week 4, Day 1 of C25K which made me feel really strong, I just can't think that I've put on 4-5 lbs of muscle in the past 3-4 weeks and that's why my weight is so stagnant. Really need to re-buy a tape measurer.

hi I have just entered 180's , as of today am 189.5, it tom so hpoefilly may see a whoosh this week.

brief intro
statred at 235 on april 21st of this year, already lost 43lbs, wana see 170 very soon, may see loss slow as i have been losing every week since my jorney began but am excited am finally here

Hello all,
I have been at 183 and was wishing those 3 lbs away for the past 3 months, then for the last month, it started to creep and creep it did, i weighed in at 190 and this morning i weighed in at 189.. so here goes these 9lbs...

Healty eating and upping the exercise..

hope everyone has a great week..

Ps Firefoxy i laughed at your comments above haha "The scale hates me too "

:)

Down to 186 woohoo! I started running as well as changed my eating habits a couple of days ago and so far so good! Before that my scale wasn't budging except a little in the wrong direction. I can't wait to see the 170's again.

And way to go uklass! What have you been doing to lose the weight? 43 lbs. is a huge accomplishment!

I'm officially joining you guys. I currently 189.6. I hope to be out of the 180's by the end of this month.. My SW::196.4 on July 30th. I'm down 6.8 pounds as of today!!! I'm so happy to be here!!!

uklass -- Welcome! Congrats on the weight loss so far :)
Everyone -- Keep up the good work! Your posts inspire me to push harder, too.

Today I weighed in at 183.8, which is 1.2 pounds down from Friday. My WI's last week were crazy -- anywhere from 182 to 185. Hopefully, the bloating and water retention is stabilizing now!

Trying to stay extra on track (if that makes sense) so next week will be even better. I plan to be out of the 180's by the end of August.:crossed:

Well I finally made it to the 180s. Im at 188.5 and Im pretty sure I havent seen the 180's since junior high...Im more than happy right now! haha

now lets just see how long it takes me to get to the 170s....

I so wish I could beat the 180s. I've been here for months and I am doing so much right. I haven't lost one pound in 3 months. I've been shaking up my food and exercise but nothing is working. I did go from 190 to 180 so that's a success, but still. Wish I could keep going, you know?

Hey guys! So excited because I weighed in at 189.4 today. I hope to be out of this thread by Sept. 13th.

Quick bio: I am 24 y.o. and started calorie counting on May 2nd 2011. I have gone from 222lbs to 189.4 lbs since then and it feels amazing. I am so excited to lose the next ten because with each ten that you lose the more noticeable it becomes! Good luck to all you who just arrived or those that are so close to the 170s!

Today i weighed in at 183lb :):):) 3 to go and i am out of the dreaded 180's that have been haunting me for 3 months grrrrr... but on the way..

Sunshine87:Welcome and congrats, i like the fact you can put a time frame of when your leaving..

Racrane: i was the same stuck for 2months, then i started to slide on food choices, but back on track now, good luck shaking things up.. :)

Hilariousness kamsmoma Uklass26 Congrats Guys .. good feeling making the transition from each decade..

Firefoxy Taramade how is it goin for you guys now?

I am 185 now, I broke out of the 180's for a bit and got down to around 173 (Almost into the 160's I couldn't believe it!!) buuuut I fell WAY off the band wagon and into burritos and cheeseburgers and am sitting back at 185.

I know you can do it so keep up the hard work! "Little by little one walks far"
:hug:

This morning I weighed-in at 183. I didn't even see 184, I'm not complaining! :carrot:

Only 3lbs to go... :D

Hey there! So I am joining you here and I'm so excited about it! I weighed in at 188.5 today! :D I hope I'll be out by 9/12/11. But still... I'm happy to be here because i just reached my first mini goal. :D

my official weigh in was 189 today so hello thread =)

Hey all 180-ers. I have gained and lost the same darn 2 lbs for 2 months now. I have been stuck at 188 for at least two weeks so at least no gains. I really need some newbies to tell me their calories ranges because I am desperate. I am running 4 miles a day at around a 10-11 minute mile. I am not weight training other than a few arm exercises with a 10 lb weight. I chase my 1.5 year old the rest of the day haha. My calories have been between 13-1500 a day with one cheat day of 2000 here and there since family has been in town. I need a strict calorie range that is working.

Sunshine you have great success. What is your range? any exercise? thanks!!

Today I weighed-in at 181. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm sick but I'll take it in the meantime. ;)

I hit 178 today! Yay! I've been doing the same things I've been doing all summer, I think I just beat a plateau. I'm not complaining! :D

I hit 178 today! Yay! I've been doing the same things I've been doing all summer, I think I just beat a plateau. I'm not complaining! :D

Congrats! I hoping to join you soon in the 170's.

Soooooo happy I have been 187-190 for 2 months. I hit 185.8 today and I am so freaking happy I could scream. I haven't worked out for two days and ate a bunch of kettle corn..mmm new diet I think so haha jk. 5 more lbs 5 more lbs haha have a good week everyone

I decided to join in on this challenge. I was exactly 185 as of this morning (my weight loss has been REALLY sluggish for what I'm capable of this month, I think I started the month at 190-something). My goal is to be 175 by Halloween, but I hope to be in the 170s at some point next month.

I weighed-in at 180lbs today!!!!! This is the fastest I've gone through 5lbs, ever. It's called the "cold and flu diet" :lol:

ETA: I just realized that this also marks for me a 25% loss from my highest weight, yes!

I'm still at 188 this week. :( Oh well.. I'll just make sure to bust my *** and make sure I lose SOMETHING! hahaha. I am a little disappointed though.

I'm officially joining you ladies.. I'm weighing in at 187.8 today.. I'm extremely excited because I've been stuck at 191-193 for the last two weeks. All of the hard work is finally paying off :).. This makes me want to work even harder than before :)

whoot whoot! 179.6 lbs today, hope it holds tomorrow :)

I weighed in at 186.4 this morning...:)

Weighing in at 184.4 :).. I'm getting excited.. Seems like the 180s is going faster than the 190s did ..

Good job.

Sigh, I'm still hanging out at 180 and TOM just showed up so I'll have to wait awhile to get in the 170's.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR been hanging at 182 and goin up and coming back down and never leaving 182 .... i need to see a different decade for my sanity alone..

181lb today...... so close....

Im finally here. After being in the 190's for like ever!

weighed in at 189.2 this morning! This has been the lowest I've been at since 2007. Good way to start the day today for sure! :))
Hope everyone has a great day!

Woooo hoo weighed in this morning at 180lb so hoping to be out of the 180's by this week :)

Finally...

I've been stuck in the 180s since May and I keep fluctuating up and down. 2 weeks ago I saw 182 for the first time and thought I was finally on the downward track but now I'm back up to 184! I thought I was going to make it out by my birthday next week, but now I don't think I will. :( x 10 I really hate the number 8 now!

I started this round of my weight loss journey at 189 and this morning (if my scale is right...i know that it is four pounds off but whatever), i am weighing in at 182. I just really want to hit 179. Not just to get out of the 80s but because I will be back at the weight I was in college. Ugh. I just wish it would magically come off.

I was at 189.3 today. I knew I wasn't going to lose anything considering I didn't work out, so Im just glad I didn't gain anything. :p

curlysue82- Your so close! Hope to see you out of her by this time next week! ((:

ald41085- That's how I was with the 190's. whenever I would get to like 192, and think I would be out of the 190's BAM I would be right back up. Its a struggle. . .wish it was this easy getting it off as it was getting it on! lol.

hinnerthanhim- I'm in the same boat! I want to get out of the 180's because I haven't been that small since I was 18! and I only got that small because of a bad break up! :p

I just want to get to the weight I have on my drivers licenses! Is that so much to ask? lol. :)

I just got here, and I'm extremely happy to get out of the 190s - 188.6 right now and I can't wait to lose the next 9 lbs!

YAY I am 180.5 lbs. as of this morning! I haven't been in the 170's in MONTHS! Close to a year actually. I sure hope to break in the 170's soon...

Weighed in at 188 this morning :D Thought it was time to move to a 180s thread.

Welcome sabri!

ARG! I keep weighing in right at the low end up 180. Today was 180.3lbs, why can't it just go below into the 170s??? :p I swear I was trying to telepathically move the scale this morning to drop below 180.

Can I join in? It seems like I've been stuck in the low 180's FOREVER. Lowest weight was 181...don't even know what I weigh now. Have been off the diet for a few weeks so hopefully haven't done too much damage. I'm just dying for the day when the scale says 179!!

I have the same problem. No matter how hard I try to work on myself I'm always at the 180 mark. I wish I could just push it down. How should I approach this??? UGH! How frustrating.

I'm at 183.8 as of today. Really wanted to see that 7 this month, but it looks like I won't :(

I can't believe this! I weighed-in at 179lbs this morning! :woohoo:

Good luck to everyone here and I hope to see you in the 170's thread soon!

Thanks everyone for the welcome :D I weighed in at 187 this morning!! Moving in the right direction!! :D :D :D Also glad to say that I think I am safely in the 180s now without danger of going back into the 190s (I generally see 1lb fluctuation, but rarely more than that).

Congrats Runningfromfat!!!!

I've been in the 180s since July (UGH). My sister came to town and that bumped me back up to 189, then I got down to 184.5 and went home for a long weekend and that bumped me back up to 189.

Weighed in at 186.5 AND my TOM starts today, so I'm hoping for some whoosh from the water weight. Maybe 6.5 lbs of water weight ;)

Weighed this morning at 180! Passed my college heaviest weight.

186 even :) gettin' closer!

I weighed in at 186.5 but it's TOM :(

Im right there with you Kams... 186.. although its not TOM for me.. so I'm sure when its over youll be a few lb lighter :D

184.6! think I finally broke that plateau :) I cant weight to be in the 170s!

congrats thinner and running and nrz242 for breaking your plateau...I'm soooo close to 179 and I don't think I'll make it Wednesday cuz TOM is due. We'll see. I'm already steeling myself for a gain, but you just never know. I know, eventually, I'll get into the 170s and I really think the way it has been going I'm okay with it taking the next 3 weeks....so long as I don't register huge gains! Hang in there everyone! Good luck.

I just hit 179.2! Good luck to the rest of you!

Hey Guys,

I weighed in this morning at 188.2. I'm now ready to declare victory on the 190s and join you guys :cb:

I just did some "Attic Shopping" and found a few things that technically fit but could use 5 more pounds. Then a few more things that are 10-15 pounds away. That's definitely some extra motivation to fly though the 180s. Hopefully I'm not with you guys too long :lol:

Im currently weighing in at 188.5. It WAS 186 two days ago but yesterday was a lazy day and I had to stay with my sick sister so we ended up watching movies and gorging on pizza. Like a large between the two of us with ME eating most of it...and I was a pound and a half from no longer being obese...

Now i just have to work extra hard to get myself back into the healthy mode I was in...UGHH. Cant wait till I reach 179...

183.8 today. I've been stuck around 185-186 lately so I'm soooo happy to see a new number! I want to be rid of the 180s asap!!

I plan to go shopping today to buy a pair of size 10 jeans I passed last week. They're my favorite brand and were on the clearance rack and having them in my closet will be major motivation! I just hope the store still has them! :D I fit into size 12s consistently now, although some brands are snug. I want to be a 10!

Good luck to everyone this weekend!! :D We can do it!

Riez - congrats on seeing a new number!! I know that always feels so good. I have a pair of size 10 jeans in my closet. They technically fit now but could really use an extra 5-10 pounds. I cannot wait until they zip up.

also today = 186.7 after yesterday's 188.2 :yikes:

I feel THRILLED!!!! :cloud9:

I am running a 5k Tomorrow morning. Tonight I'm going out to dinner for my Grandma's birthday and plan to eat a little extra carbs and junk so I have energy for the race. Then I usually allow myself a little extra comfort food after a race (when I'm sore and beat). Therefore I won't be great on Sat. Then sunday is a large local pancake breakfast. I would be thrilled to still see 186 on Monday. I've been boarderline starving myself lately so a few days of upping my calories will get my metabolism going.

187.3 today.

I'm happy. This weekend could have been a disaster but I mostly kept it together. I'm really hoping for a 185 weigh in on Thursday so that I can take my next progress pic (see sig).

185 this morning... I guess I really can not complain as that is half way through the 180s and im lucky to see a loss (I should be lucky to see a lack of change for that matter) with how bad my weekend was. :D

On a side note, I bought two pairs of size 12 jeans that fit!!! :D

Good luck with week everyone!!! :D

183 even today, which is .8 lbs lighter than Friday. Not too bad considering I splurged a bit on the weekend. :( I really want to see 180 soon!

ugh I'm sick.

I didn't want to weigh myself this morning because I think I'm bloated

My body is sore and achy, my throat is really sore, I feel dizzy and have a post nasal drip.

The good news is I am not hungry at all and I've had nothing but a cup of coffee today. I plan to not eat much and hope this illness bout will result in a decent loss.

I'm at 186.2 this morning..

ok so today was official weigh in and i made it to 184.8 =) so im counting that as 184 cause if i dont for some reason i gain it back (mind over matter anyone? haha) 4 more lbs and ill be halfway to my goal!! :D :carrot:

Can I join?! I only started last week and am 188.7, weigh day tomorrow! I'm aiming for a pound a week so it looks like I will probably be around here for a while!

Today = 186.6

I'm hoping 1-2 pounds of this is water weight. I really want to see 184 this week. I'm a bit sick and am hopefully retaining fluids. It's very possible since I feel all mucusy.

182.4 today! For some reason I seem to weigh in low on Fridays. Weird!

This weekend is Oktoberfest here so I won't get too attached to sub-183. Haha! I definitely want some sausage and saurkraut and beer!

I was down to 180.6 last Saturday, then 182.6 by Monday?!? Back down to 181.3 this morning, so maybe I'll come close to breaking even this week. Ugh, just had to vent because it was sooooo close, then not.

so.. i haven't really been on the forum for a month. lol. But i'm back on.

I'm 182.5. 3.5 lbs away! I'm hoping to get down to 179 in a week or two but with my PMS, who knows.. BUT 3.5 lbs until I reach a total of 20 lbs lost! :D So excited for that!

Weighed in at 181 this morning :0 ... ive been here before about 6 weeks of going up and down a few lbs highly frustrating.. really hoping to break through the 180's this week.... be gone lol

So week 2: 183.9

Total loss: 4.8 lbs!! Cumon the 170's!! Im not in any rush because I have reached the 170's lots of times before, but done it so drastically I have always ended up back here pretty soon after, next time i reach the 170's thread, i am staying!!

Uuugghhh, 184 after a weekend of Oktoberfest (beer+sausage!) and Canadian Thanksgiving. Oh well, gonna bust my butt from here on through Oct so I can still hopefully reach my goal of sub-180 by Oct 31!

Mind if I join in!??
Weighed in at 188.8 this morning... high weight in July was 210. I want to blast through the 180s FAST!! I am so ready!! Wonder if I can do it by Halloween???
If I can get to 179 I will really finally feel SO much better and that "I can do this"..!!!

180lbs is my nightmare..... ive been as high as 235 and no matter how much i lose i stop at 180 and cant lose anymore... if i could just get past that i know id have the spirit to keep going. good luck to you.... all i can say is maybe just haul *** and workout like crazy when you get to that point.... im probably going to have to try the same thing when i get back to that point again... good luck to you :)

I weigh in daily, and despite being on my period, as of this morning I am officially 189.8lbs!! I hope its not just my period/water weight messing with my body so I can join this thread and say goodbye to the 190's once and for all :) I guess I'll find out on my official weigh in day on Monday :)

Congrats!!!!

two more lbs! two more lbs!!! come ON!!!! :carrot:

Im almost sure I saw 182 saturday after my TOM ended but Im still not sure if it was just my scale (cheap little sucker) or if I really reached that.

Today though its 184 and thats good enough for me!!!
4 more pounds!! I havent been under 185 (NOT OBESE!!!) since 8th grade...

183, arrrgh. This plateau sucks. I'm still holding onto my goal of 179.9 by Halloween, though. :) I can do it!

I weighed in at 181.4 this morning!! I was SUPER excited because I've been stuck around 184 for the past two weeks! I've been drinking a lot of water and doing my best to eat right lately and it's finally paying off! I can't wait to get out of the 180s and it finally looks like it's going to happen soon! Good luck everyone!

Weighed in at 187.8 yesterday morning as my official weigh in and am down to 187.0 this morning!! I am officially in the 180's and hopefully I can power through to get to the 170's. Only 27lbs to goal!!

182.6! Soooo close... must see 180...

Hi everyone, I want to join in here even if it won't be for long.

Last week I hit 180.6 and it was glorious! Then this weekend passed and everything stayed the same on the scale even went up to 181 something then this morning the scale said 180.0. It was taunting me with haha not yet!

I have a feeling i'm going to be bouncing around 180 for a few days but I hope not!

I know, I have been kinda MIA lately... life has kinda taken over.. aaanywway... Weighed in at 183 this morning... FINALLY moving a little! and in the right direction. I have been at 185 for a good 2 weeks... oof. Hopefully I can get to 180 by halloween, although I would be just as happy not to see 185 again in the morning. :p

185 this morning!!!!

189 this morning!!!! Finally out of the 190's where i've been stuck for months. I hope a downward trend continues!:woohoo:

yay!! welldone vixxi!!!!!!

ergh..... ate ONE COOKIE at a friends kids bday party and now im back up to 182 =/

Woo, just hit 190 this morning! So excited to be part of this thread soon!

My weight is now 178! :D See you lovelies in the next thread...

Oof.. been bouncing between 185 and 183 the last few weeks.. I need to get past this slump. :/

So excited I can finally join this thread!! I thought I'd NEVER get past the 190s! I was 188.8 this morning and tomorrow is my 'official' weigh day so I'm hopping to see an even lower number!

Can I join? :) I'm at 183.9 pounds and I want to be in the 170s soon!
Bring on the veggies >D

182.4! I can smell the 170's!!

Weighed in at 187.4 this morning..

Just got home from a week-long visit with my family in Florida and TOM.

Scale showed 179.8 this morning! WOOHOO! I guess a little bit of good ol' southern cooking and bbq and plenty of walking while shopping is good for breaking plateaus. May I never see (and get stuck at) 184 again. :P

THE SCALE MOVED! - I've been stuck at 183 for a month and I was getting sick of it - I'm 180.1 tonight, maybe tomorrow morning.... a girl can hope :)

SW: 188.7
Week1: 185.6
Week2: 183.9
Week3: 186.0
Week4: 182.4
Week5: 185.2

Total loss: 3.5 lbs

This is so hard!

After jumping between 185 and 183 for a few weeks.. then a week of not weighing myself and trying to just keep going, I finally saw 181 this morning!!! Maybe I will get lucky and by monday I will see 180-179! :D

Ive been at 183.5 for two weeks now. :( hopefully itll go down soon. I started taebo this week so im thinking (okay hoping) Im just retaining muscle. we will see!

182.2 this morning! I am losing SO slowly :( My goal was to be in the 170s by now. But at least the number isn't going back up!! Going to try to drink lots of water and work on getting more fiber. Can't wait to see 179.9.. getting so close!

FunSize, I am right there with you!! I was hoping to be 172 by thanksgiving.. but at the rate that I am moving (or not moving) I will be lucky to be 179 by that same date.. I feel the same way.. at least the number isnt going up! :D

Hello 180s thread!! Woke up to 187.6 this morning :D :D :D!!!

I've been stuck in the 180s since high school. I was thrilled when I saw 175 for the first time.

I've posted in this thread in the past. I am now officially out of the 180s WOOOO!!!!

My lowest ever number at my adult height is 175. I'm so ready to smash though it!!!

Hi everyone! im 182 at the moment, i keep going up and down up and down, dont seem to be able to get lower than 175 before shooting up to the 180's again! :)

Heres to getting out of the 180s for good!

ONE EIGHTY FREAKING ONE
MAN I'M PUMPED TO SEE THAT NUMBER! :D

so ready to beat the 180s!!!! I can't believe I'm still doing it sometimes (losing weight that is) I thought I'd have given up back in the 210s.

184.4!

Love checking this thread to see the awesome progress!! I had an early dinner tonight and plan to go running. I am going to stop eating after 7pm to try and encourage the scale to go down tomorrow :-)

Woohoo! Havent weighed myself for a while have just been guesstimating (too scared too), weighted myself today - 178lbs!!! :)

just weighed myself and I am 189 it's a start ^.^

Woohoo! Havent weighed myself for a while have just been guesstimating (too scared too), weighted myself today - 178lbs!!! :)

Way to go!!!! :dance:

181.8.. Almost there.. so close.. I want to see the 170s SO BAD!!

181.4??? Seriously!! UGH!! I was so confident I might actually see 180 today lol
I feel tempted to go on a cleanse today just so I see 180 tomorrow!!! (I doubt that will happen though-- the cleanse that is!!)

It is so nice to see the 180s again. I love it.

It is so nice to see the 180s again. I love it.

Welcome to the 180s club!!!! Hope I am out of here by tomorrow...LOL.. (fat chance..)

Saw 180.6 today! Granted I was sick with a hangover and just got out of the shower right when I weighed myself but to see that number?!!! :carrot:
FunSize- Just keep at it! You'll be in the 170s before you know it! ;)

I weighed in at 180.6, which is amazing, i'm so close to the 170's I can almost taste it! Come on 170s!!

180.4 today............... I guess I'll take it!!! Almost thar!!

182.8 today... I can't WAIT to be in the 170s.

It's amazing to me, at the end of the summer I was in a group longing to see onederland. It's awesome to be this much closer to my goal!

This is week 1 back OP for me, and 1.5lbs of water weight already whooshed away. Hoping to get through the 180s quickly (Again!) and back to the 170s where I left off at!

CW: Hovering around 189ish

Argh!
Starting again. I seem to remember promising myself I would never go back to this thread...but here I am. So Starting at 189.8. yep right at the top. But I'm gonna shift these lbs quick to get back to 170s and on!

After not weighing myself for a week (TOM).. and not eating great (TOM)... Hit 180.2 this morning! I didn't want to weigh myself because I did not think I would like what I saw, but you have to be accountable for your choices... so glad that the scale moved a little (finally!) 10lb behind on my goal weight after a month long plateau... hopefully things will get moving again.. Would love to be 170 before the cruise I am going on this Christmas with my family.. Gonna wait for 178 before switching over though..

I saw the 179 number once. But it didn't last long for me. I am just starting out again after a couple month "bump" of my track. I am at about 185 now, and will be so excited to see that number again. I have been over 180 pounds since I graduated high school...

But I know I can do it! :D

last night, 191.2. this morning, 188.

once upon a time that very scale said 173. want.

I'm at 188.0..

I was 180.4 again today.. Can ya believe it!! Scale is just teasing me now..
Hoping to be out of the 180s before the end of the week.. Gotta keep on keepin' on!

179.7 this morning... not enough to switch.. but holy crap.. the scale hasn't said 170-anything since high school!! Just the bump I need! :D Hope this downward moving trend keeps up :D

179.4 this morning!!!! Can't wipe the smile off my face!! I've been in this thread long enough, so.. this is my goodbye!!! Yeeehaw!!!

Way to go, FunSize and Sabri! :carrot: See you soon in the 170s thread!

my 180.6 was a fluke due to being dehydrated and sick from the hangover, lol. 183.6 this morning but I will get there!!! ;)

181.0 this am!!!! Couldn't believe it so I went out to get new batteries for the scale (it was time, anyway) and weighed myself in several places to be sure it wasn't a fluke or whatever. Whoo-hooooo!!!! Water, water and water, chicklets!

186!
taken off nearly 4lbs in the same number of days. Love that first week, but now feel i've got rid of all the water weight and it gets hard from here.

I am down to 184.8

186.4 today!! Almost at the halfway through the 180s mark!!!

184.2 today... I think my little drop to 182.8 must have been dehydration. Damn.

I WILL be in the 170s by Christmas!

woke up to a lovely 185.6 :D Halfway through the 180s!! (177 seems to be where I always stall, so I'm getting nervous.... ha)

woke up to a lovely 185.6 :D Halfway through the 180s!! (177 seems to be where I always stall, so I'm getting nervous.... ha)

I understand what you say, I had the same problem with 182 (shiver). But I did push through to 170 then that became my new wall. Best thing to do is not to focus on that number but maybe a couple of lbs lower. Treat it as a no big deal. that helped me anyway. :)

181.1 today! 179 is so close!

Hi everyone! 189.4 today, so I'm jumping in!! :) Super glad to be here, I'm just 1.4 lbs from 75 pounds GONE!! Very excited for 185, so I'll be just plain old overweight :lol:

Welcome, Rainydays! And congrats on almost 75 pounds! That's INCREDIBLE!!! I can't wait til I can say the same :)

182.4 this morning!! (This detox has been doing me good! ha!)

Thanks aBroad!

i was 180.4 today. i havent had a brilliant day today though so I arent expecting to be in the 170s tomorrow

i was 179.6 this morning!!!!! Im not going anywhere yet though, im going to wait until im definately in the 170s until i leave

Hey Lexi! Good to see you back!! I haven't weighed myself in 3 weeks, got another 1 to go before my first weigh in since i restarted! Well done on cracking the 180's!!

Hey Lexi! Good to see you back!! I haven't weighed myself in 3 weeks, got another 1 to go before my first weigh in since i restarted! Well done on cracking the 180's!!

Yay Blondie! were both back! are we going to crack this this time around! I want to be around 174 for xmas xxx

Hi all I have been in the 180s for almost six months and I'm pretty sad about it. I'm going back to 1200 and very strict calorie counting today to see if that helps. I am very consistent with running so that's not the prob. I also do a little weight training everyother day. What is everyone's calorie range?

Yay Blondie! were both back! are we going to crack this this time around! I want to be around 174 for xmas xxx

That is exactly where I want to be by xmas, I have no idea what I am at now though, first weigh in next Saturday and hoping to be about 178 ish xx

:DThat is exactly where I want to be by xmas, I have no idea what I am at now though, first weigh in next Saturday and hoping to be about 178 ish xx


:D thats great that we have the same target should hopefully keep ourselves on track!


do you want me to set us up a thread in the 'uk chicks' bit?

any ideas for a thread title?! :dizzy:

Blondie, can't wait to see how you've done! Don't forget to update us on our New Year's Eve challenge!

cierra, I'm at 1200 calories, but I do eat back some exercise calories. Do you?

181.8 today! 1.8 pounds from 50 lbs lost!! So close!!

Awesome aBroad!!!!!! Rooting for you to kick those last 1.8 lbs fast!!

Been very sick with that terrible stomach virus that's going around, so I'm missing my Tuesday weigh in today. Will try to make it to the gym tomorrow!

I have been stuck at exactly 180 since July. Very frustrating. I know I haven't been perfect as of late but I just want to be in the 170s!

racrane, I know this probably doesn't help...but at least you've been maintaining for a long time, that's tough to do! What can you do to shake things up?

Im still right at 180.5 to 179.5. luckily I didnt gain any during thanksgiving (OMG IM SO RELIEVED!) but I didnt lose any and this week is gonna be a tough one as far as stress and time. 35+ hours of work and studying for finals...whoopie. Ill be happy if just dont gain any this week lol.

Still holding at 189.4 :( Going to exercise more this week to hopefully shake things up and get the scale moving back down!!

Whooshed to 186 :)

That's fantastic, Rainy :) I was up to 182.6 today but considering I've been eating whatever I want the last 4 days I'm not surprised. I had a huge exam on Saturday and I needed salt hahahha. Back in the saddle today!!

I hear you! I love me some salt. I'm sure it's just water weight from the extra sodium, but you're still so close to the 170s! :carrot:

180.2 this morning! so closeeeeeeeee! 50 pounds lost baaaabyyy!

WAY TO GO aBroad!!!!! :cheer2:

I'm at 183.0 this morning ... :)

Must be the trend! I'm checking in at 183 as well! ;)

May not get to the gym Tuesday for my usual official weigh in day, so checking in today at 181.8 :) Can't wait for the 170s!

Hello, Ladies (and gents) of the 180s. :wave: I just clocked in at 188 today. And, although my official weigh-in day is Monday, I will still join this lovely thread you guys got going here. 188 is a very special number for me. It marks 80 pounds lost since I began my second weight loss journey last August. It is also 3 pounds away from me being officially in the overweight BMI category and means I met my revised goal for the New Year's Eve challenge. 188 is GREAT! 187 will be BETTER! What is up with all of this rhyming? Anyway, hello again! And so long 190s!

Hi all,

I've been away for ages and I really miss the support (giving and recieving). It's been a long time since i've made any real progress and since reaching 177 have come back as high as 188! I really should be more worried but I'm just trying to take each day as it comes and make changes that will stick forever. Even though my weight has gone up a lot I feel like my relationship with food is getting better every day so I am confident I will reach my goal :D

Sorry for the essay, I'm looking forward to busting through the 180s with all you gals and guys!

congrats princessgina00! its always a big boost to make it to the next set of numbers on the scale!!! 80 lbs is amazing!!

supergir111, even though you gained alittle back from the looks of your ticker youve made it a long way!! just keep going!! the fact that you dont give up means youre strong!!!

Well after an irritatingly achy TOM and waiting a week to make sure I didnt gain it all back I can safely say Ive made it to the 170s!! Cant wait to see the rest of you there!!!

Thanks Hilariousness! up to 188.8 this morning. I've already vowed to ditch beer for good which is what I think is responsible for this horrible water retention this weekend...it's so frustrating learning the same lessons over again.. Happy Monday :)

184.4 today. I haven't seen anything below 180 since early high school, so I can't wait to get there!

I'm finally really excited about christmas now i'm on holiday from work :D also i've whoosed down to 183.8.
Sunshyne: I'm so excited to get out of the 180s too and this time for good!

Sunshyne: I'm so excited to get out of the 180s too and this time for good!

We can do it! :carrot: 183.2 today.

Hoping to say "peace out" to the 180s before 2011 ends! 183 as of Wednesday....hoping for a farewell party to the 180s soon!

Hi everyone! Very excited to be a part of this thread! I am 187.5 as of this morning. I'll bop back into the 190s at least one more time because I have a cheat day in my diet but I've been in the 180s for 3 consecutive days so I decided to join in!

I hope to make it out of the 180s before I need to maintain my weight for a few weeks for a wedding! Have to go to get fitted for alterations in about 3 weeks. I've started working out 5 times a week and it really seems to have sped things up from my old routine of 3 times a week, so hopefully I can do it!

OMG! Weighed this morning and I'm 181.6!! Last Friday I was 184.1....down 3.5 pounds! I'm so close to being out of the 180s! It is such motivation to stay good over the holidays to drop this weight!

Yay Razorbackbritt!! That's so exciting, keep at it.
Merry Christmas chicks :D

183.6 this morning...the highest I have been in a long time! Depressed about it but determined to do something about it.

I have no idea what I weigh right now. I think my sister's scale is wonky because, according to it, I've gained 14 lbs in the past 7 days. I don't think that's possible and refuse to let it get me down. :D

See you in the next thread chickies! 177 today! :carrot:

188.6 today! I really want to hit 187 by Saturday because that will be 20lbs lost! I was SO close to making it last week but sodium kept me at the same weight for 2 days (187.5 UGH). This week has been rough with two family Christmases with DELICIOUS treats at both, baking cookies, and DELICIOUS treats all over the place at work.

I seem to definitely be in the 180s now so that's good enough for me. As long as it keeps moving down in the long run that's all I care about.

urgh ate some salty 'off plan' food yesterday when I went to visit my sister's new place. Bounced back up to 186.4 :(

So weighed in at 189.4 today. First time I can ever remember seeing 18x....I have a feeling I'll gain a pound or two of water weight in the next week. Just started weight training today...

My last weigh-in on 12/10 was at 183. I gained 7lbs over the holidays which put me at 190.. Now I'm weighing in today at 186.2.. Woohooo.. I'm not giving up!! Can't wait to see the 170s.

Yeah, I gained about 11 pounds over the holidays and have shed all but 2 pounds. I was happy to be back in the 180s after hitting the near 200 mark over the Christmas break. And it took me less than a week to get back. Yay!

Good job everyone!

As for me I'm 183 this morning! I'm so excited to see where I'll be on my weigh in day (which is Saturday). Hopefully lower than last weeks 181.6!

I have been in the 180's for literally six months. I am renewing my vows and have a wedding dress in a few dress sizes too small and I am feeling like I am never going to make it to my goal of 140 by July. I strained my arch again and I can't walk (Was running over an hour). My calorie counter app says to eat 1250 if I am not exercising but I am starving. The lowest I got last year was 181 when I got food poisoning and as of today I am 188. I really need help with calorie counting. I have been to the calorie counter forum with little assistance. If any of you have any calorie ranges with no exercise to get out of the 180's or any non-cook dinner ideas I will be forever greatful! congrats to those losing weight.

182.5 this morning! woot!

looks like i wont be in this thread for too long! :D


aawwww, don't give up cierra! you can do it! if you can't walk, how about swimming, or cycling, or just concentrating on weights? take care of yourself!

1200 seems about right as a calorie amount for someone your size who is sedentary. If you're constantly hungry, try loading up on non-starchy vegetables, protein, and/or fiber. As for non-cook dinner ideas, have you tried eating breakfast (oatmeal, cereal) for dinner? You can also probably eat low-sodium soups or sandwiches (PB&J :T). Salad is also good. I don't cook, so I live off of a steady diet of easy-to-prepare, microwaveable meals.

I've been stuck at 181 for over 2 months and I've finally gotten out of the 180s! Officially 178.1 :)

i was out and then GAINED after a fab 2 weeks holidays and x.mas... so i am currently at 188 an i am committed to gettin out of the 180's and saying good riddance to that number on the scale... 8lbs and being rigid.. should hopefully work ..SOooonnner rather then later :)

good luck everyone :)

Woohoo... 180.2! So close :o Crazy - this is my lowest weight since college, about 7 years ago :) I got down to 160 my junior year...

I remember thinking when I started "God, what was I thinking in college, I would kill to be at my starting weight then (180)." AND NOW I AM!! Great feeling. Though I still feel fat of course. :rolleyes: But I feel less fat than I felt at this weight in college. :lol:

179 this morning!!!!!!!

I'm at 184 and just crossed the overweight/obese BMI line. Now, I'm focusing my laser on the 170s. Hopefully, I'll reach it by the end of this month.
