  • This morning I am at 180.8! I am sure tomorrow it will be back up but maybe by the end of next week I will be ready to move to the 170's thread.
  • 182.5 .... Checked my weight a day earlier... Im fine with the number hopefully another two weeks and i can head over to the 170's
  • on another note ive only lost 4.4 lbs in november which isnt very good.. Ive really struggled wirh food during the past two weeks, which is the reason for the slow loss.. I need to do better in december, and hopefully I will! A new month, renewed determination.. Good luck to everybody!
  • Hi, I am so happy to be in the 180s finally. Only by the skin of my teeth (189.6) but i'll take it Should give me a nice boost at the gym today.
  • Welcome Sholapie! Stay with the awesome support on this board and I am sure you will be out of the 180's in no time.

    I just moved down to the 170's thread (179.6 for two days in a row) but there are only a couple of other posters there currently. Hoping to see you all there REALLY SOON. <3
  • Holy water retention batman! I was excited to see 181 before Thanksgiving and now I was up to 187 this morning. Boo!
  • 183.4 today and yesterday … but today's eating is awful so I expect an up tomorrow morning
  • Thank you @shr1nk1ngme

    I'm down to 188.4 today, don't you hate it when you see a flash of a lower number before it settles on a higher one lol sometimes I have to remember to be grateful
  • 183.6 it's up a little, but could have been so much worse. It was a tough week, with a lot of emotional triggers for me. I just decided I was going to observe how I felt about stress. And when I ate bad food (and boy did I eat bad food) I really paid attention to how it tasted.

    And I learned that Lindt Lindor Truffles are not tasty. Here I've been remembering them as the yummiest thing in the world, but they are kind of gross and oily and mostly taste of coconut oil. And Wendy's advertised a new mushroom burger on a day when I was especially vulnerable, and I love mushroom burgers so I caved ... but it really only tasted like salt and fat. There was nothing mushroom about it, I might as well have ordered a big bowl of grease and a salt shaker.

    So I messed up more than once, but I learned a lot in the process. These foods I've been craving? Not really worth it.

    Here's to a better December!!!!
  • OMG tefrey i love mushroom burgers as well!!!! i had one 4 days ago :S lets say no to junk this month!!!!

    Welcome to all the new comers!! and congrats to shr1ngk1ngme for heading off to the 170's,,, hope to follow you there soon!!!
  • 186.6! I gained about 1.6 lb. because of Thanksgiving but now they are gone plus one!

    It's getting much harder to stay motivated though. I think I am pretty happy with the way I look and feel and that may be why. On to the 170's! I can't let Hamlette get too far ahead of me. Her journey has been an inspiration and motivator for me.

    I couldn't wait to have a slice of pumpkin pie on thanksgiving..I planned on this cheat and what a let down that was. It was SO SICKLY SWEET tasting!
  • shr1nk1ngme congratulations on the 170's

    Zoe, I hope the scale is back down for ya

    sholapie to the thread

    tefrey, sounds like your taste buds don't like unhealthy things Way to go

    hamlette congratulations on your losses for November I only loss .4 LOL, I'll take it since I didn't gain

    cincorn I know that's what you wanted but look at the bright side you didn't add the extra calories. Good job on the Thanksgiving pounds gone. I had a friend years ago on here that I use to keep up with. It was fun to do it together.

    Only did this page to catch up, so if I missed anyone

    I weighed in at 182.4 this morning, trying to catch up to me ticker.

    Hope we all start the new year on the 170's thread
  • 181.7 this am... So close to getting outta here!!

    Cincorn good job getting rid of the thanksgiving weight gain plus one like you I too think that I always get comfortable around this weight range because I look ok... Ppl tell me I carry my weight well and that I look less than I actually weigh.. But tgis time lets not get in the comfort zone and just blast through it.. I wanna see what the 160's feel and look like sooooooo bad!!

    Love2b150 good luck with ur progress, its a constant struggle but uve got this!!
  • Thanks hamlette

    cincorn and hamlette that's what I did years ago. I got down to 165 people started telling me how good I looked, my Pastor's wife even commented and of course my husband was happy and I just stopped and look where I am now. We definitely can't allow ourselves to be content before we get to the top prize (OUR GOAL WEIGHT). I kept the weight off for almost a year and just kept saying, "oh it's just .2, .4, .6 up and it added up just not quickly. We will do this together

    I weighed in at 180.8 up only .4 from my low of the year and ticker weight. hamlette like you I so hope to be out of here (by at least Monday). But I won't change my ticker until I know it's true
