So Long 190s!
 

So... I am seeing threads for the 150s, 160s, 170s, and now the 180s. I want to start one for us 190 ladies! I am currently around 194 and would love to break the 190s!

WHO'S WITH ME? :carrot:

I'm in! I'm so close - I'm hoping that with a few extra workouts this week, I'll be able to get back to the 180s. Of course, part of me is bummed that I'm getting excited about being in the 180s, but whatever - I'll definitely be happy when I get there :)

I'm with you too! I've been bouncing around the 190's for two months! Part of it is stress from a job search, but I'm sick of seeing the 190's when I step on the scale....so let's say goodbye to them together!

I'm with you!
I'm 199 and really need a kick in my arse to get into the 180s. It was hard enough to stay under 200.

I'm in! I'm so excited to see the 180s! :D

I'm 192 and can't wait for the 180s!

I feel as though I hate the 190s more than being over 200 sometimes! I think it might be because my goals become more definite and specific under 190, 188 is no longer obese - 184 is lower than I've been for over a year, and 180 is so far in the past I can't remember it that clearly.

So I'm officially recording my weight here today as 191.585lbs. Every tiny little increment counts!

Hope everyone has a positive day :)

merose - I can't wait to get out of the 190s. I'm already half way to my goal and I feel like I can do it. But my weight has been zig zagging so terribly with the 190s it's driving me crazy! I was around 193 two days ago and now I'm back at 195.

Go YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're doing amaing :D

After a long break from this site (oops!) i am back! Looking to crush the 190s by the end of July!

I'm definitely ready to be out of the 190's!!! I am currently at 191.8 and it's going to be so exciting to be in the 180's because I honestly can't remember the last time I was that weight. It has to be either middle or high school!!!

WormwoodDoll - you're doing fantastically! but I know what you mean, the 190s. just. won't. go. away. grrrr

give me two weeks though, just two weeks...

I hope to be out of the 190s by August.

Good luck everyone, I know we can do it.

im 196 and its GOING bring on 180's, x

good luck all!
I'm just about to go to bed and am thinking how great it would be if you could burn calories just by wishing and wanting something to happen! I would be well under 190 if that was the case :)
I've kept on my calories the last few days, but quite a bit of it has been junk.
oh well.

Welcome to the rest of the ladies!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday! I know I definitely did some damage. I ate a billion cupcakes and I drank so the scale is up. But I am going to work hard this week to keep the pace going!

Good luck ladies. :D

Yeah, I definitely could have done better this weekend... I'm postponing my weigh in until tomorrow and hoping some of the ice cream I ate will have magically disappeared by then :)

I overdid it this weekend, too. I kept telling myself I didn't need another cupcake...yet I kept going back and getting one. I didn't drink though, and I consumed about 2200 calories. I hope I balanced it out today. I guess I'll find out tomorrow with my weekly weigh in.

I'm at 195. Not too bad for how off-plan I was Friday and Saturday.

But I'm back OP. And I am starting to go to the gym as soon as I get off work everyday. I noticed if I go before I get home, I feel good. Once I'm home, I get lazy and just want to relax. I am going to do 15 minutes of cardio, at least, everyday. I will do more, but on days I need a break 15 minutes will still make a difference. I'm at a point where I am starting to get really flabby, and exercising regularly will really help. Plus I'm sure it'll contribute to my losses. I heard cardio is great for eliminating belly fat (and overall).

I'm 190.69 today (I could have written 190.7 or 191, but I didn't :) )

SOOOO glad we don't have 4th of july celebrations here. I need big long breaks between eating holidays. Christmas, easter... I think that's all we have, unless you count Australia Day barbeques and booze.

I haven't been excersising at all, my excuse for the last week is that is has been too hot, and today that it is pouring (English weather). I'm doing ok for now with eating right and counting calories, but I've set myself a deadline to start excersising and now am freaking out a little bit.

I loathe excersising in public (not too distant memories of teenage w***kers laughing at me from cars) but I have no money! I need free, solitary excersise. For now at least.

Any suggestions?

I was doing so good....but the 4th of July killed me and my weight skyrocketed up!!! I'm still in the 190's, especially since a lot of the water weight is slowly coming off, but I'm definitely not as close as i was late last week :(

I'll get there though!!!!

I haven't been here in foreverrrrr but I am so ready to get out of the 190's. I have been in the 190's for entirely too long. I am at 196 right now... hoping by August to be in 180's!

im game!...

I was 195.9 this morning. What gives?! I am eating OP and I am hitting the gym daily. UGH.

WormwoodDoll - I am so there too!!! I've been exercising way more than usual and while my eating hasn't been perfect, I've cut out most of the junk and way increased my fruits and veggies. I guess I'm not going up, so that's good - I just feel like I'm so close to the 180s and I'm not sure what else I can do to get there! So frustrating...

I'm with you! I want to beat the 190's! :boxing:

7lbs to go!

189.5 today!!! it's official. If you don't mind though, I will still hang around here - obviously it's a useful thread!

WormwoodDoll - maybe you should give yourself a couple of days rest? Mix your body up a bit. I don't really have a solution, but I'm sure it's just a temporary glitch. Good luck!

Congratulations, merose!!! That's great :)

Wormwood Doll - I'm going through things very similar to you!! When I signed into the thread the first time last weekend, I was 191.8. I somehow am reading 195.2 on the scale almost a week later. I don't understand it!!!! I know I went overboard at the 4th of July party I went to last Saturday, but I didn't think I went overboard enough to warrant an almost 4 pound gain :(

But all this week, I have been hitting the gym for an hour each day, cleaning up the eating, and drinking tons of water. I am going to try to up my calories I think. I am currently on a 1450 calorie plan, but with exercising every day more than before, I think I might need to bump up the calories...or maybe lower? I don't know. All I know is that it's getting frustrating!

thanks smisen, you're so so close yourself :)

I've been on hiatus from the site for awhile, but it's great to see this thread! I am having the worst time getting out of the 190s! I had a weigh in at 189.8 a couple weeks ago but I've been bouncing between 192 and 194 since then. I have been resting on my laurels a bit since I went on vacation, had the 4th of July etc, but now it's definitely time to get back into that routine!!!:carrot:

i am down two pounds. 193.6lbs. Should i edited my previous post for updates or should i make new replies?

Yaaayyyyyyy!! I finally did it :) I'm at 189.9, so it's not by much, but who cares - I'm counting it!

woot! go smisen! well done you!

I am still holding strong at 195.....the last two weekends have killed me and I have had to work just to get back to the mid 190's. It feels like such a waste of these past two weeks, but I was at 194.4 this morning and hopefully it will keep going down.

3lbs measly to go...

Hello ladies. I hope everyone has been doing well. I fell off hard during this past weekend due to my birthday. I won't be weighing until September but I am definitely still in the high 190s. We can do this!
