Wooo! 170.0 again this morning (saw it for the first time 6 days ago). I've got a good feeling about next week.

Finally 176.5!!!
 

yay sweet tink!!!! you go girl! stuff like that motivates me so much :)

and rocket bunny - girl i am so proud of your progress!

unfortunately not a lot of progress going on in carly-ville. :(

176 this morning.

BUT i am staying dedicated. hopefully progress on the scale will soon match up with progress in making better habits. i'm doing pretty good with the better-habit-building thing. :)

Holy cow, you guys weigh yourselves a lot! I only weigh my self maybe twice a week and only count the one I do around the same time every Saturday at the gym.

Any who I'm down 2 pounds this week again I should be out of the 170s in no time I'm hoping. I ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill in 33:09 yesterday so I was super stoked, no incline, but I figure I'll work up to it eventually.

Hows everyone's week been so far?

p.s. why have I lost 36 pounds and only gone down 1 pants size?? lol at this rate I'll only go down one more size by my goal :(

I am so with you on that one! I too have only went down 1 pants size and I've lost 38 flipping pounds! I figure it was to be expected though and I'm an uber pear shape so my hips and thighs are never going to shrink as fast as my waist and arms....eh. Plus everyone says the closer you get to goal the faster you go down in sizes so I am truly taking that to heart.

Anywho I weighed in at 177.2 this morning. I'm happy but isn't it funny that I always want to lose even more, even faster even though I KNOW that it wouldn't be healthy to lose any faster than I am.

I am having a way crappy day and it's only 8:50 am. :P

In this week I have weighed 174. 176. 178. And everywhere in between. I'm putting the scale away for a week or two so I can focus on eating healthily, working out, and doing what it takes to feel good before I weigh myself again. Seeing the numbers jumping all over just depresses me and makes me feel like I'm wasting my time. so... Does anyone else want to join me in putting the scale away for a week or so?? :dizzy:

im hoping thats true! im a 15 now so i dont want my lowest size to be a 13 :( lol

That sounds incredibly frustrating. *HUGS* :hug:

I seem to be seesawing between 171 and 170. I'm back up this morning (171.2) but I'm feeling really positive because I had a good mostly on points weekend. I certainly didn't go over by 3500 calories, so that pesky pound WILL come off. I've redoubled my efforts this morning and plan a low points, high hydration day. I'm very excited to see what the scale says tomorrow (Tuesday is my semi-official weekly weigh in day).

I won't be putting away my scale with you, but I will have a scale hiatus from Thursday through Monday. I'll be spending those mornings at my BF's place and I don't use his scale because it always shows higher than mine. I often find it a challenge to stay on program when I know that I don't have to face the scale in the morning, so we'll see how that goes.

No offense guys, but I REALLY want to get out of this thread.

I'm 178 and my short term goal is to lose 5 pounds. In the long run I want to be 130 and I'm not giving up!

I think you guys weigh yourselves way too much. Of course youre going to vary day to day id go crazy if i weighed myself that much. Put the scales away! lol

<shrug> YMMV. It works for me. I don't weigh daily, usually about 4-5 times a week.

I don't let fluctuations bother me, but I really look forward to those super low "Victory" days. I'm excited to get on the scale each morning. Even today, when I didn't hit the 160s, it still felt like a good scale day because I was still below 20 lbs, which wasn't the case with my fluctuations most of last week.

ok ladies imjoining u...hopefully not for long. 173.2 today!

Good job, youll be out of here in no time!
and ill follow you :P

I am with you... I find weighing every day to be motivating and a way to keep myself on track. I look forward to the lower numbers but also know when to expect a fluctuation in the scale. For instance, every single time I do major exercise like day-long hiking, the scale will be up as much as 3 lbs for the next 2-3 days, but then I will see a major drop by the end of the week. It doesn't freak me out when it happens because I expect it. I also know that if I haven't been watching my eating, then the scale will slowly start to creep up...another motivator to watch myself more with the food! I know weighing every day doesn't work for some folks, but I have to keep myself accountable every day or else I'll get lazy and complacent! ;)

I'm down to 175.4 today! :carrot:
