I'm officially out of the 170s. 169! I have been losing and gaining the same 5-7 pounds for years. It's like I mentally flip out once I hit the 160s and self-sabotage. Hopefully, with the aid of this website, eating well, and exercise I can move on. I want to look cute in grad school!
Crescendo I am absolutely with you on the 160s bit, up until recently I'd been pretty much maintaining at 164-165 and I've only been below 160 twice in my post puberty life. The 160's are my nemesis.
I only weigh myself about once a month (so I won't go scale crazy) so I'm pretty sure I'm in the 160's now and I'd really like to be out of them or close to it by my next weigh in. I'm trying to work hard and be really good foodwise so I can get past this set of numbers that my body seems to like so much.
welcome ladies! i am up 2.5 due to my dbf's family coming in unexpectedly and staying with us for 3 days. his sister is the best mexican food cook in the world and i just couldn't pass up her home made taquitos and guacamole... *sigh* well they leave in the morning so i am going to get right back on track!
Ok accountability time! How is everyone doing??? I ate pretty crappy yesterday, but it could have been worse. Still doing the 30DS and it's not getting any easier! Plank jacks... ouch!
I tried on my wedding dress yesterday since the first time I had it on to buy it, and it's still a teeny bit tight, not enough to worry, because if I went up a size it would be too big, but 5 lbs and working out until september should do the trick, although I really want to be to 150 by the wedding, but I know that isn't going to happen, I am NOT happy with how the scale is going. I was hoping to be to 150 or so by now or august. Oh well.
I don't weigh in often but my husband thought I was being too pessimistic about my ability to actually drop the pounds so I weighed myself a week and a half ago and I was at 167. I do my monthly weigh in next Monday so we'll see how close I get to being done with the 160s. I've been pretty good but last Saturday night I went to a gathering and ate too much snacky stuff (tortilla chips, cake and cookies... and I had a glass of wine). I've been on track since then but my Sunday workout was somewhat torturous... apparently one glass of wine is enough to give me a hangover now :S
So I don't have the highest hopes for being out of the 160s that soon... although I'd like to be at 160 for August first if i can manage it.
Kk140... CONGRATS!!! I'm jealous you're almost out of here! I'm STUCK at 164-163... AND busting my *** doing the 30 day shred. Next month is cardio craziness... No overtime shifts and lots of walking/running/spinning...
Thank you! And keep going JulieRN! Look how much weight you've lost so far! You're almost half way to your ultimate goal so that's amazing!!
Do you do the shred daily or do you take breaks?
leighish, we will definitely be seeing you soon! and congrats to everyone it sounds like you're doing great esp those of you who have moved onto the next thread!
well, i have lost 1 lb of that weight i put on when my dbf's family was here, but i am stubbornly not changing my ticker. i am determined to be back to 160.5 by next week and then hopefully out of here soon after that!
Hi girls- I'm sorry I haven't been around. I creeped my way up to 173 and I didn't want to admit it I'm back and I was at 170 yesterday morning. I'm back on track and I'll be back on this thread the second I'm 169 again
