172 on the button. I'll take it. Slow but steady...

Nice! You're so close, I'm sure you'll get there by Christmas.

I'm still hovering at 168-169. I think this is my lowest weight in 13 years.

Way to go Steph! So I guess you're outta here, eh? Good luck and hope to join you soon

[rainydays]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! I'm at 183, so I really hope to be joining you by New Year's Eve or shortly after! See you in -3.1 lbs!

Hi Rainy! I really hope to be out of here before New Years, but maybe I'll see you in here before then

I started out about 10 lbs heavier than you, but we otherwise have very similar stats and goals. Keep up the great work!!

[NorthernExposure]

171. Just need to lose a little over a pound by next week to reach my goal.

Weighed in at 171 this morning! One pound closer to getting out of the 170s!

Looks like the ladies on here are making progress too! Let's keep going!

I hope to be here as soon as possible--the 170s are the highest weight I remember being before I got pregnant with my twins (turning 6 in a few months), but SO much less than my all-time HW! We do have similar stats, congrats on all your success! I'm very excited to get to 100 lbs down!!

Guac: Yay! We're both so close!! Let's hope we're outta here soon!

Rainy: You are very close to getting into your next "decade" AND your pre-preg weight....way to go!

Keeping my fingers crossed for 169.9 next week. Next Friday is my last WI of the year as I will be staying off the scale until the first Friday in January (DH and I are going on a mini vacay between Christmas and New Years...want to enjoy myself, but hope I can exercise *some* damage control, ha!) Hopefully I don't have to come back here in January if I do reach my goal next Friday...eek!

Best of luck to everyone!!

[rainydays]

Good luck Northern! You can do this!! I'm almost to this thread officially, hooray!

[NorthernExposure]

Thanks, Rainy!

I am seriously doubting I will see 169.9 on Friday. Not trying to be a negative Nancy, but realistically 1 lb/week requires a lot of hard work for me these days. I've been doing pretty good this week, but not stellar...so for me to expect to lose a little *over* a lb isn't very realistic. (Unless I get some kind of weird whoosh or something, you never know, I guess!)

Hopefully I'll see *some* kind of loss, and I'll be OK with that. If I come back in January with less than a lb to lose to get out of the 170's, I can live with that--and it will definitely give me that post-holiday jump start/motivation I'll need! And I'm sure YOU'LL be there by then, so I'll have some good company

[NorthernExposure]

Holy crap, I did it! 169.1! I haven't lost 2 lbs in a week for MONTHS, but I am very thankful for this timely whoosh

Well, I guess I'm outta here (hopefully for good!) Best of luck to everyone getting out of the 170's...you can do it!!

Congrats, Northern! I'll miss you! I weighed in at 170lbs today. Down 1 more pound! Yeah! If I can get through the weekend holding steady, I'll be happy! I'm almost there...

[NorthernExposure]

Guac, you've got this! I'm sure I'll see you in the 160s thread when I come back in January! Yay!

[guacamole]

I know that I will get to the 160s eventually. However, I don't know if it will be this week. This past holiday weekend wasn't good for me food-wise. Also, with my kids home on vacation, I always do poorly with my eating. So far, today I am holding strong - but I would bet if I stepped on the scale this morning (which I won't!) it would be up by a few pounds. It's so frustrating how easily I gain weight now.

Good luck to us all!
