I'm trying to bust through my 144 plateau...i was down to 141, but i think i wasn't eating enough, and my is holding on to everything. Now I'm up to 144, and can't seem to get down from that. I seem to stall every 5-10 pounds :( And this one is taking even longer than usual to get off. I guess i just have to keep on truckin'.

I weighed in at 140 this morning. I was like 'What?" and went to put my glasses on. Yup!

Downer reasons include: didn't eat last night after 4, with s snack at around 10:00 pm followed by bed (wasn't hungry, though)

I haven't been drinking that much water

I haven't worked out in ages, not that my life is sedentary, but this could just be muscle loss.


But still, 140! I figure I'll be on this thread another 2 weeks ;)

Hello! After about 3 months in the 150's I finally dipped down to 148.2 this morning. I'm so happy to finally be able to join this thread!

As I get closer to my goal the weight comes off a LOT slower, so I'm hoping that I'll be out of the 140's by Christmas (which will require a loss of .75 pounds per week). My one goal for the 140s is to be in the low 140's (140-144) by my sister's wedding in late November. Good luck to everyone!

@souvenirdarling : 140 on the dot, that's great. You will be in the 130s in less than 2 weeks I'm sure. Keep up the good work.

@Civakas : Great job and congratz on making it to the 140s, work harder and I'm sure you will be in the low 140s in time for the wedding in late November.

As for me I have only lost one pound in 4 weeks, I'm still shocked. My weight loss is going very slow now that I am getting close to my goal which only means one thing, I need to work harder and be more disciplined about my diet. I hope to be atleast 139 by mid November.

Work hard ladies, we are so so close to our goals, we just must not give up and keep on pushing.... All I know is that I am not going back to where I used to be, so if that means loosing one pound every 4 weeks so be it, as long as there is progress....

Hi, everyone. I haven't posted in about a month or so, but I want to start again! I was off my calorie tracking and exercising for basically all of September because I moved to a new city and started a new job, but things have calmed down some, and I'm motivated again. I weighed myself this morning, and I've lost 5lbs since I posted here last, from 145 to 140 lbs (64 kgs). I think it's because I walk the 2 km to and/or from work every week day, because it's certainly not been because I've been watching what I eat!

You're right, size8, about the discipline, and I find it very hard at this point. My eating habits so far have not been a hard adjustment.

As long as there's progress - I like that attitude :)

Welcome back canadia!!!! Congratulations on that loss - and in one month too! Woohoo!

Hellloooooooooooooo.

So, I, like Canadia, haven't posted in probably about a month or so. I also moved to a new city, I started at a new school and a new job, I started seeing a new guy, and thus spending EVERY weekend down in Toronto either with boy, or with my friends.... and sadly, unlike Canadia, I didn't lose more through this new pattern. =/

In fact, I've started eating a lot of garbage. Lately, I've been eating pizza about twice a week... indulging in chocolate bars a few times a week. Every weekend I drink beer like it's going out of style... and my exercise routine has been seriously lacking. My "exercise" has been walking in Toronto on the weekends from pub to pub, and the basic running around I do on campus at college... and that's about it.

Despite the way in which I've HURLED myself bodily off of the wagon, and am slowly sinking in a lard-filled ditch somewhere.......... I haven't gained that much back. I'm 144 lbs as of this morning. Clearly my metabolism is working hard to keep me where I am... and I think it's about time that I gave it a little push in the right direction again. I bought myself a gym membership at my college's gym last week, and am going to start going on a regular basis tomorrow. (Today's Canadian Thanksgiving, it's closed today.)

And so, I rededicate myself! Getting within about 10-15 lbs of where you want to be and falling off the wagon is just seriously uncool. So let's see what I can do this time... it's about time I reached my goal, don't you think? ;)

i just got here today!! its been months, i have 149.4 here is to hoping i can stay in this group!! i am doing ww what is everyone else doing?

BACK ON TRACK. 148.

I'm determined now.

Hi again canadia and Jelbb, it's nice to see some familiar faces. I've been gone for about a month as well, since I moved back to school, turned 21, and had lots of shenanigans. I have lost some since being back to school, (about 6-7 lbs) but I'm not sure why. I certainly have not been taking very good care of myself.

I'm down to 140.8 this morning, which is awesome as I gave myself a new goal of 138 by Halloween. Unfortunately, despite the fact that this is the lightest I have been in years, I am dealing with a lot of self-esteem issues and every so often still have the same issues with my body that I had at 167. I think this has to do with the fact that I still have cellulite (darn my genetics), and that my thighs are still pretty large in comparison with my body.

I've just really been hating my body lately, which I know is absolutely ridiculous, but I can't help it. It's upsetting to come so close to goal and realize that all my body image issues are still here.

kasmel : I know what you mean, I still think of myself as that fat person I used to be and I am still hiding my new sexy body coz I still think I am that fat person. I need to embrace the new me in this new body, throw out my old baggy clothes and bring in the new sexy tight clothes...

Anyway this is the smallest I have been in about 10 years so I am very pleased and proud of myself, I just need to push myself to get rid of the last few lbs.

I just joined the forum, I've been reading for a couple of months. I've been successfull at losing 20lbs. But I still have many more to go, and I feel like it's getting harder. I've been in the 140's for 3 weeks now. I went to 146 but then back to 149. I'm trying to be really careful this week but sometimes I feel like I'm about to fall of the wagon and succumb to my bad eating habits. I

kasmel: I know how you feel. I still hate my tummy and my shoulders, even though I know objectively I look pretty good (and I've been getting a lot of positive comments from men... hmm...). In fact, one of my Korean friends recently told me I'm the only "skinny" Westerner she knows. I didn't know whether to be offended or flattered.

Welcome, Segras! I'm calorie counting and exercising 3-4 times per week.

Welcome back, Canadia and Jelbb!

I'm at 147.1 this morning.

I think I may be coming down with a cold or something. My body is just so tired. Still, I'm going to try out 30 Day Shred for the first time tonight. I'm pretty excited! Like Canadia, I also hate my stomach, so I'm hoping the exercise dvd will help.
