YES, do join! The more the merrier!
The 180s were a beast for me too. There was something about the 170s that seemed totally illusive.
Congratulations on the milestone!

D@mn it I want to be hot at every angle! Guess I just have more work to do!
*********************
I had a 2 pound whoosh this morning! I stepped on the scale several times, then on my 2nd scale several times (LOL), just to make sure it was for real! Now I'm thinking, hmmmm is it possible I will see the 140s in October!? That would be insane!!! I was having a hard time wrapping my head around being in the 160s! It just seems like there's no way I could be getting this close to my goal weight.

i'm sure you absolutely are!! the thing is- we all have deluded visions of ourselves. for me? i still see myself EXACTLY as i saw myself at 270 lbs. whether i was a fat "skinny" girl, or whether i am now a skinny "fat" girl doesn't even really matter- it's how healthy you are!!
especially so close to the 140s. you are definitely skinny!

I am coming to join in if possible!! I am so close to the 150s now, hopefully will get there this week!! My secret aim is to get into the 130s by Christmas.... the thought of that is filling me with nervous excitement right now!! But if I keep going as I have been the past month, I think I can do it!

Ok so 2 things:
#1: I got a new scale (I know, I know). BUT I threw out the old digital one and put the analog one away (I think the analog will be perfect for maintenance). I like it, and I will only use 1 scale from now on as to minimize my craziness.
#2: My MIL called and invited us to dinner (my ILs live on the next street), which I was happy about because now I don't have to cook dinner for the kids and DH! But they are having spaghetti, and that just doesn't fit into my current plan at all. I have been eating dinner really early (before 4pm) and I haven't been having things that high in carbs that late in the day either. This isn't my normal way of eating, but I've just been a little more strict lately after such a bad month in August, which included my birthday (cake! lots of cake!), then my FILs birthday 3 weeks ago, then my niece's birthday a few days later, then my BILs birthday a week and a half ago (CAKE CAKE CAKE). Anyway, luckily they don't care if I eat or not, they know I'm losing weight, and can be high maintenance about foods. So earlier I made a huge pan of zucchini, yellow squash, and white onion and whipped up a quick tomato sauce to put over it, sprinkled some Parmesan on top, and ate a crap ton of it (228 cals total - it's really amazing how much veg you can eat for so few calories) to kind of satisfy my hunger and stave off any temptation the smell of that spaghetti sauce may cause.

I have been doing excellent this week however I have been on vacation this weekend in Orange County and have been eating slightly off plan. Not too bad aside from a meal I shared with hubby tonight at El Torito. One meal cost me 1400 calories. Ouch. Goal next time= look at the nutrition data first before I eat it. I am over it, but I feel stupid for not looking first and crushed that I waisted my extra deficit this week on one average meal. I rarely have issues like this. I get paranoid about going off plan unintentionally.

Julia ~ I'm totally with you on that one! I've pretty much been around the same 165-167 range for a few weeks now. Okay given I lost like 6 pounds in the first week of trying the belly fat cure, the following week I got sick, hardly ate in the beginning of the week so lost another 3 pounds, then after that...all I'm seeing is maintain maintain, gain gain, lose, gain, maintain. Ugh, it's so frustrating!
...However, to be fair, I did have quite an outing with a friend on Friday. I tried to stay as much on plan as possible, but on a plan that limits sugars to 15g or less, having 3 mixed drinks and coconut milk and tapioca is a biiiiiiig cheat.

It can get very discouraging! The scale WILL move if you stay on track. I have had plenty of weeks (one time it was 4 straight weeks) where I lost nothing. I really thought the scale would never move again, but it did. And yours will too! Keep your head up!

I need this. I'm so sick and tired of 162.
I saw 161.4 lbs a week or so ago. Still at 162, though, for 3 weeks now, give or take half a pound. It's driving me nuts.
The last time I broke out of 160 was when I had a norovirus. Not recommended.

i have the highest weight on this thread i think. its funny because i see people who are dying to get out of the 160s and all i can think is, id KILL to be in the 160s, lol.
im not trying to say they shouldnt complain, but it goes to show how everything is relative.

LockItUp - I learned a new word. Crap ton. For some reason, crap ton really tickles me. I ate a crap ton of vegetable soup tonight. LOL!
I want to get out of the 170s. I should certainly manage it sometime this month.
