I'm in your boat gator! I can't seem to move on to the 170's...; ( its very frustrating. But Im sure if we just give it some time and keep on being active it will eventually go down...I completely understand though getting on the scale each day and hoping for a smaller number but it just wont go down...my body just really seems to love the 180's. ; (

yeah i started my period and went up to 182... i will be out of the 180s by this weekend... or NOTHING. no options!

Well I sure must be frustrated with the 180's because I worked out so hard at the gym today that I literally almost fainted/got sick. I had meant to workout for 60 min, but 5 min before I was supposed to stop I had to sit down and try to breathe and not puke. That has never happened to me before. Im going to try to not push it as hard, but hopefully it at least helps me make this number move.

gatorgirl- this is after one hour? eek, is there anything you did differently? maybe eat before you went to the gym?

Be careful gator! Don't strain your body too much dear!

I was thinking maybe it was another issue of my bc. I have been having 'breakthrough bleeding' for a week now and thats only a week after my last period. Maybe low iron or slightly anemic? I am going to try taking a multivitamin in the mornings and see how it goes. I don't really want to not workout though.

drinking all that water payed off GOODBYE 180s, i hope i NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!

i weighed in at 177.0 this morning, i hope to see some of you in the get me out of the 170s thread soon!

Congratulations IcassiopeiaI!!

After having an almost week-long binge I'm starting to get back on track. BLAH. This weight loss business can be really, really frustrating sometimes.

Anywayyyyyy.... As of this morning I'm sitting at 188.2. I need something to push me into the 170s. I find that if I have a *smaller* goal to work towards, it's easier to stay focused. SO. I have a new mini goal of 179. Once I get to 179 and can maintain it for a few days, I'm going to buy some new JEANS! I've been selling all my old ones on ebay because they are too big, and I have a pair of 16s (started @ 20) that are KIND OF maybe a little bit getting slightly baggy.

My family is very supportive of my weight loss (I'm grateful) and my mom said as soon as I'm ready to go try on pants that she'll take me and buy me a pair! : ) So 179, here I come!


Anyone care to joiiiiin me?



*EDIT*
I changed my tickers & such... I try to wait until Sundays but I haven't changed it in awhile and I need to see lower numbers!!!

Hey everyone!!

I'm not "officially" out of the 190s until my weigh in on Sunday, but this morning I was definitely 189.6!!! I'm so excited, and I already can't WAIT to get out of the 180s.

Lets see, the last time I was in the 180s was probably 8th grade....but the 170s, My guess would have to be late 6th and early 7th grade....

That means it's been like 8 years since I was under 180. WOW!

Good luck to everyone who is close, and to the rest of you...I'll be seeing you very soon! =D

Weighed in at 182 today!!! So close i can almost feel it!

congrats divine & byebyebelly! woo woo! :carrot:

O M G . My mom came back from a vacation with a shirt, earrings, a necklace, and JEANS for me. They are size 14s... she said she just wanted me to have them when I was ready to try them on. So of course, I get home and try them on first thing. And guess what. THEY FREAKIN FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! I'M SO HAPPYYYYYY!!!!!!!! :D


of course, my head is spinning with thoughts like "they're stretchy" and "old navys jeans run big". But I know I just need to be proud and appreciate how far I've come!

now off to the grocery store to stock up on some healthy goods!

oh yeah, & I was 185.2 this morning :O
i just don't know what to do with all this weightlossjoy :dizzy: ! :]

thanks everyone and carissa- you should just ENJOY all that weightloss joy!

:lol:

new pants are always fun, i cant wait to see you in the 170s thread!

That's awesome Carissa! I bet you wear those jeans like all the time now...lol. I know that's how I am when I go down a size.

So I think maybe I've been losing weight too fast. I know I'm probably depressed because of my recent breakup, and I haven't been feeling like eating. I'm already down to 185.8...and I haven't even been in the 180s for a full week yet. I'm kind of worried for my health...so today is going to be an off plan eat what I want kind of day...and hopefully that will make me want to eat SOMETHING at least. I just hope I don't gain back too much of what I've lost...lol.

Divine, my weight dropped pretty quickly once I hit the 180s too. Yesterday morning I weighed 184.8. But of course, yesterday I went crazy and now I'm back up to 188.8 this morning. I just wanted to say don't be too worried, and don't make the same mistake I did going too overboard! ;)

I'm stuck between 180 and 185 and it's not a fun place to be :(
