  • weigh in today 168.8 down .2 from yesterday ... my goal is to weigh in at 167 on 2/1. I am did Atkins induction today and will do the same tomorrow and maybe through the weekend. We shall see
  • Well after weighing in at 170 something for about a week I got to see 169.8 again. Didn't have an OP day so not sure what tomorrows weigh in will be
  • This forum gave me the support I needed in 2010 to lose over 42 lbs. I went from 172 to 128 and kept off 30-35 lbs until last year when I had to start taking prednisone (steroids) and cymbalta. My weight shot up and since then I have been finding it difficult to stabilize my weight. I do have health issues but nothing that explains gaining 4 lbs in one week.
    My hope is to do what worked the last time and move from my current 165 lbs to 135 lbs within 6 months by counting calories and upping my exercise.
  • Hi kimmieval, I did really well in 2010 also but now back to trying to get to my low which wasn't as great as yours to would love to get into the 130's. I only got down to 165. I'm trying to get back there now and of course under . I count calories on MFP but my main focus is low carb. If I can keep the carbs out of my mouth I do fine, but I worry because often times the protein makes me full and my calories are too low. I'm a daily weigher and I have now been going between 168-170 for all of February. I'm a little lost as to what to do to get the scale to continue to move. I wish you much success. Do you still have your plan from 2010? Are you gonna follow that? Do share if you don't mind. I could sure use the help

    Weigh in today 169.6 up .6 from yesterday after eating 247 carbs last evening, smh.
  • 168.4 this morning down 1.2 from yesterday ... please let me see 167
  • Bumping this up. I'm at 161.4, so I'm close, but I need that extra push into the 150s. These 160s are lingering longer than they should.
  • TrayTeam, you'll be out of here in no time
  • Well after weighing in at 171.0 yesterday, I weighed in at 168.8 this morning ... I sure hope I can get a move on things and get under 165 soon
  • Thanks love2b150! Looks like you're making good progress too!

    Today I was at 160.6...I can feel the 150s just around the corner.
  • Thanks TrayTeam the 150's are just around the corner for you ... ahhhhh a new decade

    I was at 168.2 this morning that's the lowest I've been in 2.5 years I believe ... I'm happy
  • 160.2 now! Inches away from the 150s.

    I'm currently doing this with diet alone, but I think when I reach and remain in the 150s, exercise is going to have to come back into my life.
  • TrayTeam on the weigh in I am gonna be here alone when you leave ... what eating plan are you following? anything specific? I think I am at a stall and with TOM you really never know
  • Thanks!

    I'm doing a combination of overall healthy things. I'm watching my calorie intake with MFP (keeping around or under 1400) and eating as little processed foods as possible. Lots of veggies!

    It seems to be working, but it's a slow pace. Stupid patience.

    Hopefully your stall will end soon! What are you following for weight loss?
  • Thanks I'm just low carbing as much as possible. I found out recently as in last week that I can't allow myself to eat carbs. A snack bag of chips sets me off. If I eat sweets I want more. The only thing I seem to control is fries. I eat a 8-10 with ketchup and I am done (the ones that my son makes). I'm trying to maintain some control but it does get harder with each day it seems. I was going to the gym but haven't been in awhile. I know that would make a big difference
  • Well I'm stuck at 160.2. Maybe we'll both join the 150's thread at the same time!

    Patience is key. I just have to look at the NSV and how I feel to keep me on going.
