153.2 today!

Congrats on your loss Clevername, I know you were sick of #153.2 but I've never been happier to see it, as long as I'm not here too long.

Vermontmom, you are so close, keep up the good work.

Ciao, you'll be back to those 140's before you know it! Hopefully we all will be there shortly.

[VermontMom]

congrats ShaMac and CleverName to seeing new lower numbers!

151 (still) This is the hard part for me, restricting calories, carb, sugar, and working out even harder, yet not seeing a lower number. I will hang in there!

I am at 150.4 so close. It will probably take another 2 weeks to get down to the 140's and stick. My 80 pound mile stone is at 148. 2 more pounds!!! I have been thinking about my ultimate goal and having trouble contemplating anything lower than 145. At 5.3 and1/2 that is the bare minimum for healthy BMI and still on the upper edge really. Then there is body fat to contend with. I am realizing that there really is no end goal with health and fitness. Its a moving target with many things to aim for.

Funny stuff, I made my "calling it goal" thread the other day, and low and behold my scale shows me 148.5 today. Perfect timing! Lol

[ShaMac]

Dstalksalot and mimsyborogoves, you both are incredible! The two of you have both lost a lot of weight and are so close to goal! You ladies are a true inspiration!!

[dstalksalot]

Shamac - thank you....that is very kind. I am doing what every one else here is doing.....plugging away one pound at time.

152.0 this morning! I've been so happy all day, I'm not usually so excited about a new number. I'm 10 lbs away from my lowest pre-pregnancy weight, and already 7 lbs below where I was when I became pregnant with my 10 month old.

Hi guys...I'm still here. I saw 149.9 for a hot minute on Friday, but then went back up into the 151s. Again.

In brighter news, mimsyborogoves, you rock my planet! Go on with your bad self. Dstalksalot, you amaze me.

Everyone here is so motivational. I know I keep saying it, but it's true!

Well that is fantastic!! at least it was *there* for a minute...so you know it's possible!

151 for me ... still.

Yet back again 159.8

Tired of slipping back to the 160's... I so wanna get myself out of the 150's

[dstalksalot]

I hate weight fluctuation for no apparent reason. Up 1.5 pounds today.... No PMS, No ovulation, no extra salt.....just up.

[kk2323]

Weight is weird, man. Sum38, you're back! Hooray! Thanks VermontMom!

150.9 today...juuuuust made it out of 151.

Is it weird that I think of you guys when I step on the scale? I mean, of course, after I think, "please let me be out of the 150s".

Question: do you ever wonder if your brain "rebels" once you get to a certain weight? I've noticed that as soon as I see lower numbers suddenly I have out of control urges and cravings. Is that a thing?

[dstalksalot]

^ may be a physical reaction to actually losing fat or to much calorie restriction. Your body is like...." I'm losing fat, I need to eat more"

[ShaMac]

Kk2323, yes it certainly seems that way for me. I made my 10lb goal for the month now I guess my subconscious thinks its ok to relax because I have been rebelling all week. I feel out of control with my sweets consumption and its like I just can't help it. Needless to say I'm not happy about this, I sure hope it doesn't result in stall or a gain .

[CleverName]

Kk2323, I experience this as well - I was 152.0 on Monday, then had a few treats on Mon/Tues, and one today, and was at 154 today. Now I have to lose those two pounds again.
