I've had a couple very difficult decades and it appears that the 190s are one of them. I've been stuck around 195, just going up and down in the same range for about 5 or 6 weeks now. I've been as low as 193.4, but just this week, I was back into the 198s again. Back at 195.4 again today, which is right int he middle of where I've been living for the last few weeks.
Back in 2007, I got to the 190s and spent about 14 months there before gaining weight back. I'm determined not to do that again this time. I AM going to drop into the 180 and move beyond.
My last plateau was for about 6 weeks back in September in the 220s. This one has been about the same amount of time, and I'm ready to be done with it now.

My weight goes up and down too. Been that way all my life. Even when I was thinner. I kinda feel like an interloper here. I didnt start gaining till my life went south. Before that I just cut back when I gained a few pounds.
My Mom my Grandmother and my Uncle became ill and my husband did something stupid that caused us to be sued and he went to jail. Im an only child so I retired to take care of everyone. Eventually everyone passed away. My cats passing was my tipping point. I was stressed and probably depressed now that I think about it. I isolated myself and self medicated with sweets and carbs.
192.2 today. Im not sure what my goal weight will be. 170? I never let go of my old skinny wardrobe. When I can tuck my shirt in and wear a belt I will be there. I know Im vain and shallow but that's my goal. I want the old me back. Might not be possible. We will see.
Welcome Daydreamer and way to go! This thread has been a tough one for me, with very slow movement. I have some great milestones coming up and it's like my body doesn't want to get there. But my mind does. Right now, my body seems to be winning the fight. But my mind is fighting back so I'm at least maintaining. For your sake, I hope you pass me right by. 194.6 today.
After my long plateau, I'm having a great week, and am down almost 4 pounds in 4 days. 191.4 this morning, which moves me to the Overweight category, instead of obese.
Thanks DayDreamer and way to go continuing to move into the 190s.
Thanks Daydreamer. I had another drop today, to put me very close to a new decade, at 190.6. But I'm guessing I'll stay put here for a few days. That was a big whoosh for me, and the next 5 days are my busy time at work. So I'm sort of hoping to just maintain in the 190.x's until after the 10th.
I looked around for a 180s thread and didn't find any that have been posted in in a long time (like last July was the most recent). So I guess I'll be reviving a dead thread Apparently the 180s are not a popular decade.
I'm down a little too. Good Luck, Everyone!
I want the old me back. Might not be possible. We will see.
