I couldn't see it either. Start examining yourself in a mirror more closely. Also, one thng that really helped snap me back in reality was all the compliments I was getting from people who didn't even know I was trying to lose weight. That showed me that it IS noticeable, even if I can't see it. Just give it time, and know that you're looking better regardless! :hug:

hey guys can I join you?

I just posted my intro in the Introductions forum!

I'm starting at my highest weight of lifeeeeee - 163. :( Goal is 135 :D So my first mini-goal is hopping into the 150's at 159!

It helps to take measurements. I only measure once a month, but they're starting to really add up!

So, after being in the 167s all last week, I blasted down to 166.0 this morning, hitting my "25 lbs lost" mark. Whee! Feeling Great!

^^ Congrats! I'm going to measure once a month too. I took them when I started with my trainer last week so on October 12th hopefully there will be progress.

I've been in the 160's for so long it's weird that I can tell if I'm up or down just based upon how I feel.

I'm back to my curb though where I gain muscle like right away and so I either maintain or gain a few lbs :( But my clothes do start to feel better and I do start to see more shape in my legs....

That is always what happens to me, I start doing things right again (eating and exercising) and for a long time all I see is more muscle and weight gain. My body snaps out of it after a while, but it is somewhat discouraging while it is happening.

160.5

congrats AKT. you're so close!!

i'm 163.1 lbs today! yipeee :cb: last saturday was 164.2lbs. a loss of 1lb :) which i'm happy about, as this week has been hella stressful for me, and i havent had a chance to do proper exercise everyday as i like to. i just hope i can maintain this loss for my official weigh in tommorow for the biggest loser challenge

Okay, ladies ... I wanted to come and wish you well ... :) This thread has been so wonderful for me that I am officially in the 150's for three mornings now! :D

thanks echo!

I am gonna try not to weigh myself for at least a week friday night was a heavy night of boozing and yesterday i went to a birthday party.

I wouldn't have had anything at the birthday party before but I'm trying to have more normal habits.

have a good week everyone and be good :)

congrats!! I saw 165 this morning, still headin' downward just not quickly enough!

Haven't been exercising at all lately because of foot injury, but I've been eating REALLY well and saw 162.2 again this morning! Haven't seen that for a month. I HOPE my scale isn't wrong, lol. My goal is to see 161 tomorrow or the next day...I don't even care right now if it's 161.9, as long as I see that encouraging 161 number on the scale! :-)

Just curious, how long have you guys been in the 160's? I've been here a month, and it feels like forever!

I tend to lose just under 5 lbs/month, which means I should take around 2.5 months per weight decade. Of course, I won into the 160s back in late July and then took a "break" for most of August. I'm on the move now, but I expect to be here until around mid November.

Feels like forever, but it also feels wonderful to look back at my weight logs to when I was moaning about never getting out of the 170s...

Hey ladies! I'm hoping to start my 160s journey tomorrow after my official weigh in. I was 171.4 last Wednesday and I've done really well this week. I'm a little nervous because I only saw 169.2 once (Sunday) and I've been too much of a chicken to get back on the scale. I'd really hate to spend another week in the 170s so please send some 160s fairy dust my way! :-)
