Getting out of the 150's!
I couldn't find a 150's thread so I thought I would just start one!
Anyone here battling to get out of here? I just entered today. The last part of the 160's were extremely slow for me. So I am very excited to be here. The 150's mean 2 things for me - first is that, BMI wise when I lose 1 more pound I will be considered overweight instead of obese. I know that the BMI is not the be all and end all, but it's still nice!
Also, my trim husband and I met when I was 16 and he was 22. He gained weight along with me through the years, but took it off quite quickly and hangs out around 156. So in just a few pounds, I will be lighter them him for the first time in the 23 years we have been together!!

congrats on the 150s, CherryPie! You have achieved so much already, I'm glad you hit another milestone - and wow on just one more lb to overweight! and then getting to weigh less than your hub soon after that - lots of fun things to work for at this point!!

Great job, CherryPie! You've done a fantastic job so far that the last few pounds seem almost insignificant when you look at the whole picture! Amazing accomplishment! Keep it up.

I think there was no 150 thread because so few in here are actually at that point! LOL. You probably broke new ground here.

Cherrypie, congrats for making it here, and I'm amazed and inspired when I see you stats and how far you've come. Great job!
I'm at 156.4 and would like to lose another 10lb. I might want to go below that depending on how my body looks and feels at 146 (exactly half of me from my highest weight), or to maintain for a while and just work on firming things up and working on fitness goals.
I hope our time in the 150's is short!

150.8 for me this morning- getting so close!
I ran for a full hour last night and it felt great. It was dark already, but I ran where there were enough street lights. The air was crisp and cool, but not so cold that it burned my lungs, and I could smell fireplaces lit. It was the best run I've ever had, and a post-runner's euphoria that was even better.

I'm here, but I expect it will be almost two months before I get rid of these darn 50's!

Just got to the 150s after a pretty frustrating stall/plateau in the low-to-mid 160s!
I decided to add some more exercise (I'm training for running a 5k in march--and I want to be able to run the whole thing without stopping), I'm hoping that will allow me to jump start things again. As long as I don't get tripped up by the appetite increase, I am pretty sure it was the running that's the culprit for bumping my hunger up like whoa. I was already pretty active with zumba + small group personal training each twice a week and a yoga class, but I was starting to get into a rut.
Here's to hoping I don't stay here for very long either!

Keep up the great work, everyone!
I weighed in this morning at 149.6; I could hardly believe my eyes. I'm only 3.6 pounds away from losing half of me. I'll hang out here for a little while longer- until I'm safely out of the 150's.
