That's awesome Kurri!!! well done! maybe we can both break out of the 160s together and move into the 150s together, would be good to have a partner in crime! hehehe

just keep swimming! thats a lovely photo in your avator! good luck with your weight loss!
hehe yeh i hope i can break through it by monday! ive been stuck at 160 for a month! i want to get down to 156.5lbs before i feel ready to leave the 160s thread. because i keep thinking it wont be real and i will shoot up back to the 160s. so want a cushion of 4.5 lbs lol plus my manual scale is in kg. so that means i want to be at 71kg.
its funny, but i also have a digital scale, which i dont use as my offical weight, but go on it "just for fun" but its nuts, it gives me a different reading within minutes! drives me crazy. so i dont trust it at all. but its fun to just see what it says, and it always tells me i'm 2-3 lbs lighter than my manual scale!
hey girls, today my scale said 158.7lbs! i really hope i can maintain it for my mondays biggest loser weigh in! i havent had a loss for the challenge in 3 weeks. so i really need this for me and my team
plus i hope the loss is real ! i keep thinking its a trick lol
I just bought myself a heart rate monitor (polar f7f) i decided it is my present/reward to myself for getting to the 150s! ( i really hope i can maintain it).. i love the idea of rewarding yourself when you reach a mini goal i wanted to get one back in september, and been dreaming about it for months, but couldnt justify the cost and was in two minds about it.
but im so glad i waited, and now the watch will mean something to me and it will be a representation of the 15lbs i've lost so far and getting to the 150s. so i'm glad i treated myself!
if i am still 158.7lb by monday, then i will feel confident to leave this thread.
i know tell me about it! i'm kinda neurotic and weigh myself every morning, lol but i only officially weigh in and record my weight every monday morning.
i've learned to expect to see my weight go up and down by a pound or even a couple of pounds during the week, but i dont freak out anymore.
as i know the weight gain could be due to water retention if my muscles are sore after a hard workout, or food storage.
i like weighing myself every morning, helps me to keep on plan cause i know bad decisions today will affect my weigh in the next morning!
Thanks, Echo! I finally know what it feels like to be close to the 150s and boy do I like it! It would be awesome to move to the 150s together!
I weigh myself just as you do: Every morning! Since Wednesdays are official weigh ins for me that's the only one that counts but I like to see how my weight fluctuates throughout the week. For example, this past week was the first week I didn't touch 170 at all. I found that my weight is usually +/- 4lbs at any given time during the week. Good Luck on Monday!
Welcome, just keep swimming! I bet your stay here will be shorter than all the rest of us! What was it like in the 140s? I can't ever remember being that little.
aww sweettooth! why dont you stay, and give yourself a week to get back to 169 again! i'm sure you can do it ! i believe in always moving forwards! you can do it!!
besides you can not trust your weight just after a few days, it could just be water retention or undigested food!
i would give yourself at least a weekly weigh in to see how you are REALLY doing.

you are right. I think I can give myself another week to see where I stand. Plus a positive attitude may only help me shed those few ounces again to get back in the 160s.
Dang it those ounces are not leaving me. I feel it is because I am not exercising nearly enough. I just have to get over this feeling of procrastination and get myself on that treadmill. The moment i think about getting ready to go to the gym my mind goes -- 5 more min -- 5 more min. Let me just finish this --- and then the time is gone.
