NorthernExposure ~ .2 pounds is .2 pounds! Good for you :)

I weighed in at 186.4, but I am not changing my ticker because I just refuse to ;) I know it's water weight b/c I am PMSing, so I hope to have a drop in the next few days. But, it's the first weigh-in that I haven't lost weight since January 14th, so it did frustrate me. Oh well.

Yes, this is a very quiet thread...we need some more 190s people to get in here!!

Well, as long as we're both in here, neither of us is talking to ourselves :)

I know what you mean about not changing your ticker. I usually don't change mine if I have a TOM-related gain.

Have a great weekend, and here's hoping for better WI's for both of us once we get that pesky TOM outta here!

185.7 lb as of todaaaaaay!
I met a new mini goal!! :cheer:

Great job, thaisccs!! :bravo: 50 pounds lost is an awesome goal to have met!!

I hope all the 180s peeps had a nice weekend. I made my husband measure my height three times because I was going over BMI stuff, and for the last 10 years I thought I was 5'8 and I've always just told the doctors that I am that height. He measured me and I'm actually 5'9. Who woulda thought?! So, my "normal" weight according to those lovely BMI charts is now 168...a whopping three pound difference from the 164.9 I was at 5'8. ;) So, I'm officially an inch taller and I didn't even know it.

I weighed in this morning at 184.6, so I've busted through the 185-186 round-a-bout that I've had going on for the past two weeks. I am anxious to get out of these 180s and hope to be there by the first week or two of April.

Have a great Monday, everyone!

Congrats, thaisccs! Good to see you again!

Emme: congrats on your "bust through" AND your extra inch! I should really have someone measure me...I guess I really don't *know* exactly how tall I am either. I've heard carrying extra weight can actually compress your spine or something, so it's not unheard of for people to "grow" after they take off a significant amount of weight.

Still dealing with TOM today. Am glad it will be over before WI day Friday. I hope to see something in the 186 range this week.

Wow, I have never heard of that before! How interesting. Yes, I never really knew how tall I was either. I just remember going to the doctor when I was 13, telling her I was 5'10" and she laughed in my face. :) Good to have an accurate measure now. You should measure yourself just to be sure...you never know!

I'm glad your TOM will be done before your WI day. I'm sure you'll do fantastically!

Hi! This is my first time to post here. I am officially 189... needing all the support I can find as this is a very long journey.

I try to keep calories below 1500 and carbs under 100g net. I exercise usually 6 days a week and am so determined!!

Welcome to the 180's, Stacy!!

Welcome, Stacy!! Wow, good for you for exercising so often! That is great. I can usually only do 4-5 days otherwise I get completely burned out. What kind of workouts do you do? What keeps you motivated?

Just stopping in to say hello to my 180's peeps :) I WI tomorrow, fingers crossed :)

Good luck, NorthernExposure!! Tomorrow is my WI day, too. TOM is expected tomorrow, so the hit of PMS last week and TOM this week might not treat my weight loss so well...but, I'm just staying positive and seeing what happens!

Hello pretty ladies ~ I would love to join in this thread! I'm going to take a leap of faith and hope I am finally in the 180's to stay for a little while. I have been going back and forth from 190-188 for a month now. Amazingly I'm not so frustated as I use to get when these stalls came around. I know it will pass and the loss will start back up again.
It seems like my body will lose 5-7 lbs. and then stall out and then it will start back up again. I guess my body has to adjust to each set of numbers??
I remember several of you from the 190's thread- you are all doing so well with your weight loss! You are all so motivating to me :D
Have a wonderful week end everybody http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy064.gif http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy063.gif http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy058.gif

Welcome, goal!

Down about a lb this week to 186.5. Thought I might get more of a "whoosh" this week with TOM ending...but no, just my usual pound! The cool thing is I'm "just" overweight according to my wii Fit (29.97 BMI), so I'm pretty happy about that!


Have a great weekend, ladies!

Hi Goal ~ welcome to the 180s thread! Everyone loses weight differently, and you are doing great!

NorthernExposure ~ great job on being down a pound ~ it got you down to being "overweight" on the BMI, and that is awesome!!

I'm down 1.6 since last Friday when I had gained 0.8 from PMS. TOM came today and I have the day off, so I am going to be laaaazzzzyyyyy. :) Hope you all have a great Friday. :)

Northern Exposure- congratulations on being overweight. You must feel so amazing- you have come a long way :D
I am still in the obese category (I hate that word!) Because of my height I will have to weigh 174 before I can be just overweight.

Emme- Thank you for the encouragement! You are doing great too!
I weighed 188.4 today. So maybe I will stay in the 180's and not slip back to the 190's again.
