So, life strikes again and I wasn't able to work out. 168.8 today. I guess this is what maintenance is like, eating right without the working out. I need to get my butt in gear! I swear I can see my body getting flabby after 6 days without exercise lol
I'm just glad I'm not gaining, just fluctuating between 167 and 169.

167.2. Still pretty much stalled. I'm exercising and eating OP, and drinking plenty of fluids. There could be a tiny bit of muscle, but I'm thinking it's related to TOM. I don't actually have a period, but during the time that would be my period, I notice that my weight lost tends to stall and I feel some similar physical feelings like I did when I was having a period. Hopefully in a few days I'll see a big drop.
We're going to Vienna for a long weekend, so I intend to do a ton of walking there, and my husband is really awesome about supporting me with staying OP when we're out of town. We're driving and staying in a hotel, but my husband is perfectly fine with us going to the supermarket and purchasing our own stuff for most meals instead of eating out. Bless his heart!
168.2 this morning, things are still going okay (not gaining at least when I'm missing so many work outs at least!). I worked out today though and I was surprised that I had a ton of energy and I actually did more then what I normally do.
Wow, reading through this thread has made me feel so much better. I am absolutely embarrassed to admit how long I've been bouncing around in the 160's. I lost close to ninety pounds to get here and it seems like my body just wants to stay! I've been at 159 a couple times, but it seems like everytime it happens it sends a crazy overindulge signal to my brain!
Anyway, just knowing I'm not the only one to struggle with the 160's makes me feel tons better, and remotivates me. I'm up towards the top of the 160's again, but I'm gonna really go for it and try to get out! Thanks everyone!
I'm at 168 even this morning, I had a great work out last night and I have only week to lose 3 pounds to get to my goal. I keep pushing it back as I struggle with the 160's and I need to get over this hump.
Up to 162 today (1.6 pounds more than 2 days ago), but I'm hoping that is water weight from TOM. It just can't be possible! I only had 1200 calories yesterday and 1450 the day before (I was at a cabin with friends and didn't have a ton of control over what I ate -- I did skip pie and ice cream and an extra slice of pizza) and I've been really active the last couple days. Ugh.

girlinwaterglobe, you are so close! I know you can do it
I was 167.6 this morning, lowest weight I've seen so far and looking at my past posts here it really shows I have a steady decline of around 4 ounces a day.
I have been trying to do interval running with speed walking on the treadmill and that seems to have kicked my butt into gear so I'm happy with that
All I have to do is see 165 to hit my goal, doesn't even need to be 165 even, just to see 165.8. I think I might be able to hit it in time for Saturday

Back down to 160.4 today. Not a loss from 3 days ago, but not a gain like yesterday. It just comes off so slowly now! I remember the first month of my diet I dropped 16 lbs!
Thanks Stephanie! I'm sure you'll make your minigoal!
I know what you mean, everything was really easy at first! I originally was losing weight from pretty much no exercise and just eating low calorie. When I went back at it, I had to work out and eat well AND low calorie.
Now it's a pound a week... It's slow going but at least it's not going up
I forgot to say, I finally made a mini goal thread! That was my treat to myself for getting halfway there.

Ugh... a mini-vacation over the 4th weekend has kind of screwed with my progress! I'm about 169-170 right now... needing some major motivation to get out of the 160s!!!
Thanks girlinwaterglobe 
lol
