Hey guys! I haven't been on here in a couple of months--school got a hold of me I was down to 127 at my lowest this year! I've gained back to ~131 and I'm looking to GET OUT of the 130's again by the time school begins again in a month. Looking forward to being back on here

So it's been a pretty crazy week for me so far... I got my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday, and it's been very slow recovery since then. Also, a problem I've discovered in the past, the pain medication I was prescribed has no effect on me other than making me feel a little drowsy and nauseous. What a bummer!

Anyways, I'm finally rounding the corner on health - my cheeks are much less puffy today, but I have to go into work starting today. Really dreading to see how this shift is going to go. I hope I don't become sick on anything

As far as eating goes, I've been eating very low calories since Tuesday. Usually anywhere between 600 and 1100 a day, but I'm still trying to get in as much nutrition as possible (lots of roasted sweet potatos, greek yogurt, tuna, etc.). I really haven't been hungry for much more.

I know that it's not "real" weight-loss, but my scale showed me at 131.8 this morning. I double and triple checked, just to be sure. I wonder if there's a way for me to slowly re-incorporate real food in order to maintain the loss, or if it's just inevitable for me to gain it all back (4 or 5 lbs, yeesh), once I start eating normally again.

Either way, still a food more days of liquid foods for me!

Hello everyone! Do any of you seem to get stuck every 5 pounds you lose? I have been at 130ish for months. I yoyo. Before that I was stuck at 135 to 140 for years! I'm an extreamly active person 2 hrs of weights and cardio atleast 6 days a week. I also take wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu and compete in MMA. So I guess I must still eat to many cals? Even though I monitor them. P.S. I still have belly fat. So It's not just muscle weight lol.

Hi everyone! I haven't been too active since I met my goal 4 weeks ago. Just the holidays and increased work schedule keeping me from posting but I enjoy reading everyone's progress. Since I met my goal I've been maintaining pretty steady, staying within 3 pounds or so. Today I nearly fell over when I saw 127.4 on the scale. However, mom sent me a care package of sweets today. Some kind of toffee something covered in chocolate that I nearly ate half an 8 to 10 oz package of. Yum. Will have to work that off tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone with your short term goals this week if you are going to be around temptations of the yummy kind!

Kidjng - congrats on meeting your goal!
jujubunny - I totally get stuck every 5lbs.

I'm currently at 135, hoping I can maintain this til after new years and then start working out and try and lose the last 10 lbs.

I'm ludicrously happy to be at 134. I'm finally less than my age :P (I mean the 34 part )... The 130's are killing me, and I can't wait to be out of them. For some reason, it never dawned on me that eating four fruits a day was still 500 calories, and that that simply was not going to work... I'm going to try protein powder mixed in with my coffee in the morning for something a little more nutritious...

Hows that for rambling

Back again... Some months ago I got down to 129, got totally excited, fell off the wagon, and regained about 3 lbs of water weight. Then 4 more came on... and I'm back. I do want to get down to at least 125, and stay there!

So I'm at 136 after the holidays and I've been here for a couple of weeks. I'm kicking my self into high gear tomorrow by eating 1100-1300 calories a day of healthy food. Hopefully I can get out of the 130's by Valentines Day

I just got into the 130s, but I am going to join in here. I am breastfeeding and the weight is coming off fast. I never thought it wuld come off like this! Anyhoo, I was down two more pounds yesterday putting me at 134! Normally it would have taken me at least 2 months to lose 2 pounds. I hope this keeps up. I will be back in my skinny jeans in no time.

Wow kwinkle, that's amazing it's going so well for you! To be honest I've been scared of getting pregnant because I'm afraid I won't be able to lose the baby weight. Welcome

I've been at 139 for months now. Mostly because I wasnt paying attention to my food, after I lost a lot of weigth last summer. I am pretty happy that it's an easy weight to maintain but I need to get out of here now! So, hello! And hopefully goodbye quite quickly!
