Default Getting out of the 170s
I looked and looked and didn't see one for the 170s, forgive me if there's already an existing thread.

Would anyone like to join me in here? I'm currently 172.6, having re-re-re-re-re-started on June 1st at 238. If I could be 169.999 by New Year's Eve, that would be great!

I've been counting calories and walking with fitbit. I have a Surge.

I started on 1,200 calories but the diabetes service appointed dietician (built like a twig, could see her mentally turning the pages as she spoke to me) said I should aim for 1,300, so mostly I do. She also told me to eat a few more starchy carbs, so mostly I do.

From June to November, my step target was only 5,000 a day but in December I've pledged to do 10,000 a day.

I just finished a 12 week gym programme referred by my diabetes nurse, and have gone back to the gym I'd bought an expensive annual membership for at Easter - only did 2 months, then had a big mental and physical slump.

I'm trying my hardest! It'd be great to have some fellow 170-ers to walk with

Well, it's a little lonely in here but I'm keeping plodding. Down to 171 this morning - maybe that NYE target is possible!

Good luck to everyone.

I was about to join you in this thread but I only just got into the 170s this morning and you are almost out!
I will have a look for the weight loss support thread that VickieLou mentioned

Good luck, Volatis, hope you speed through the 170s!

VickieLou - thank you for your cheering!!

Thanks, VickieLou!
Temporarily slid back into the 170s - but I enjoyed every Christmas mouthful. Hope not to be here too long.

Hope you had a good Christmas too, VL!!

Thanks so much Rosinante!!! We can do this! Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I am so grateful not to be living in the **** of food addiction.

177.5 lbs. this morning. Slow and steady wins the race. At least that is what happened to the turtle lol. Make no mistake; I am on this food plan for life, with slight modification when I reach goal.

Keep going!!!
