******************

155.8 this morning, which means. . . I've officially lost 80 POUNDS! And I'm just 1 (just ONE) pound away from a "normal" weight. Feeling very happy with all of that this morning!
Awesome job Lockitup!

I truly can't wait to be where you are

Thanks for the words of wisdom juliastl27.

Congrats also to those of you who have lost a few pounds!


As for me- well, this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. I ate too much tonight, but not as bad as it could've been. I will try to eat well to help make up for it.
Thank you! And Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! What do you all eat for your traditional meal(s)?

I started at 218 three years ago and have never gained back the weight lost other than the five pound holiday binge that kicks back off pretty easily. My goal is to reach 145 by the end of this year but not too sure that is going to happen. Reading your posts make me smile as I get the frustration. I remember the days when I could drop 7 pounds in the first week of my eating program and then 2 to 3 pounds a week for months. Not now...I think I need to challenge my body with a different work out program...
Welcome!!! What kind of workout program are you currently doing?

Thank you very much! It won't be long! I was where you are just back in July/August!



******************

Was down a teensy bit today, 155.6 (- .2), but I'll take it! Got my workout in already today, but I kind of feel like crap. I made the mistake of working out on an empty stomach on leg day (fatal!), I feel pukey and have a headache even though I've eaten since I got home. Ug! Deadlifts, squats, stiff leg deadlifts, step ups; I'll have a nice a$$ if it kills me!

MY GOSH I'm itching to get under 155, I'm so freaking close! COME ON!

Hang in there! As the time goes, and you stay on track the weight will go as well. I guess I should be taking my own advice....LOL But I know in time, I will get there!

Hello all!

I was up a lb today, no good reason either. I am sore and I do tend to go up if I'm sore (especially legs). Not too worried, I'm sure I'll see it go back down tomorrow.

How are the rest of you doing?

my official weigh in is tomorrow and if i see 190.7 on the scale again i might throttle someone. i got down to 189 for ONE day and then right back to 190.7. THREE WEEKS at the same 0.1 of a pound. id rather see 192 than 190.7. its my least favorite number of all time.

TOM is about to start so im trying to expect the worst/hope for the best.

i wouldnt worry too much about being up 1 lb. you're probably retaining water to heal your sore muscles.

I am joined in a group and our weigh ins are on Thursdays so that will be the next time I get on the scale...It is so hard to do daily weigh ins...I just don't do well with the ups and downs. Good luck to you all who are looking for losses

I admire you gals who can resist the scale daily! Though I've definitely improved as I have stuck to just one scale now!

So tomorrow I'm starting Lyle McDonald's rapid fat loss diet. It's nothing fancy, basically low carb, high protein, low fat, low calorie. It's meant to be short term and has free meals, refeeds, and diet breaks built in, and then of course helps you transition back into a more normal calorie deficits or maintenance (depending on what your goal is). I'm excited to start something a little more regimented, lately I've been flailing around a bit. It's really nothing I haven't already done, although I've never combined calorie counting with low carb before.

Yay Julia! I'm super happy for you. I'm just catching up after being off for a few days and had a little chuckle when you said "xxx.x I hate that number." Sorry, I couldn't remember the number. At any rate, I'm glad you can move on now. Keep going!

May I join? For the so many years my weight has fluctuated between the 150's and 180's. It always seemed like once I would get myself to about 153 thats when it became so difficult to lose the 4 that would finally take me into the 140's!!! I am a calorie counter... No special diets or structure for me. My life is kind of hectic at times and I don't have the discipline or patience for having everything mapped out for me. It's honestly, probably what I need to keep the weight off... But I just can't bring myself to do it! I've been on my "diet" for a few weeks now. Happy with the progress so far. Everyday is a bit of a struggle... I'm a food lover through and through! just trying to take this one day at a time
