weighed myself at the gym today - 127!!! aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

can't wait to see you guys in the 120s thread soon! (;

Hello guys! Ticker says 139 at the moment, but I weighed in today at 136! Hoping to get out of the 130's!

Wendy- congrats! Hope you meet your goal!

No weigh in for D this week. I've been in bed with 'flu since Tuesday, and I dread to think what the scales will say. Best to get my strength back up and see where I stand next week.

Hi all! I can finally join this thread! I am in the 130s, looking to get out soon! I am currently at 137! Very excited to be at this point, and looking forward to more progress!

Hello and welcome kahaney, for now I think it's just you and me battling through the 130's I've been in here on my own for a while. I'm so glad you've joined me.

hmmm, I'm wondering if I can join in? I try to stay under 130 but I'm constantly "popping back up" and battling my way down again...

Getting close! I'm at 133.8 this morning! It's getting harder and harder to see the scale go down, but the last leg of the race is hard!

Yay, I am happy to keep you company, DLS1!
Please do join, 7pounds!
Good to see you here, too, Charbreaker! It definitely slows down the closer we get, eh?

Wow we've got positive momentum here. Welcome one and all, Hi again kahaney, welcome back Charbreaker, and sure please feel free to join in TheSame7.
So happy you're all here!

I'm happy, too! I was searching for a while for a thread about getting out of the 130s, so I am glad I found it! And you all seem great!

Hello fellow 130ers I've done my Friday morning weigh-in and I'm down to 133.4 Yay me!

I love this thread - I've been able to lose down to 130.1 before going off track and haven't been lower in 7 years - and ain't getting any younger. I hope posting here will be able to motivate me to break out of the 130s!

Friday weigh-in 130.8 PSYCHED, Yay me

Hi 130s ladies! I am reviving this thread. I hit 139.8 several times at the end of July, bumped up to the 140s for a few days. 139.4 today.

I am thrilled beyond rationality to be back in this category again!! I hope to never leave, at least not for long... My "old" weight, before I started gaining 6 or 7 years ago, was always in the 120s/low 130s. I think the last few years have shown me that even high 120s is probably unattainable for me at this point, so we'll see.... I may be a permanent resident of the 130s club.

I have not really been in the 130s since 2012. It took me long enough to get there in the first place, more than a year to lose "just 13 pounds" from 152 to 139 pounds... and I slowly lost more over the course of that year, to a low of 131ish. Then all he11 broke loose and I repeatedly bumped back to the 150s. I have been trying for MORE THAN 2 YEARS now just to get back to the 130s.

The good news is that I have finally figured out what I have to do to lose weight. This time, I lost 13 pounds in let's say 2-3 months rather than an entire year.

The bad news is that the only way I have found to lose weight at more than ~ a pound/month is to go on a horribly restrictive plan ... and it really bums me out that I might have to restrict calories for the rest of my life... oh well, nothing I can do but wait and see if I can lose more and/or how much I can eat and not gain weight once I am back to maintaining. Also I am going to add real exercise soon, so that might change how much I can eat.

My ideal weight according to different calculators (a whole different topic...) at least the reasonable ones, ranges from 129.4 to 135.1. I liked how I looked at 135 (though I liked it even better at 129ish!) so for now my goal is "below 135", on my scale that = 134.8 pounds. Less than 5 pounds to go. Last time due to some setbacks it took me 60 days to lose 5 pounds.
Hope to see others in the 130s visiting here.

Welcome EmmaD, there are so few of us, it's good to have you here
