Hi all,
im gonna jump in on this thread. Im a typical yo-yo dieter but determined to break the cycle. I always seem to set myself unrealistic goals so gettin out the 160's seem like a fab mini goal. Hope everyone is doing well. xxx
WOOHOO, go Alicia!!! That is well, truly, and squarely OUT!
Unfortunately, I made it back *into* the 160s this morning--at 160.1--but am hoping it's a mystery fluctuation and that it's the last time I ever have to see the number...
I normally don't have a problem with the fluctuations--I've been weighing myself every day for a year--but just lately, with the anticipation of getting out of the 160s (which I haven't done since I was 16), it's getting to me. Luckily, I'll be out of town this weekend, and then staying in an apartment without a scale for a week; I think it actually might be good for me. (Will certainly create a lot of build-up for the weigh-in on September 1st, the next time I'll have a scale after Friday)...
161.8, it looks like I'm not even getting the fluctuations at this point. I am actually starting to miss the whoosh up and whoosh down, haha.
I will be doing my monthly measurements in about a week, so let's see how that goes. My clothes have been feeling looser and my body looks different so I feel the changes are more with body composition.
I wish I could exercise more today--my brain really wants a run so it can sleep better at night, and also as an insurance policy against the scale--but I ran pretty serious intervals two days ago, and I'm somehow more sore today than I was even yesterday.
And I got my bike fixed yesterday and timed myself to school this morning. 30 min there and 30 min back for the bike, so ~1 hour of exercise that I don't have to go to the gymn for. most convenient! I'm PUMPED I also forgot how MUCH FUN riding a bike was!
Well, I thought I was well and truly out of the 160's last year, never to be seen or heard from again, but I am back.... Granted, the low 160's but still...grrr.
I weighed in at 163.4 this morning and I expect to see the 150's again in a couple of weeks. And I NEVER EVER EVER want to see the 160's again in my entire life...EVER. LOL.
Good luck to everybody else. We can all reach the 150's if we just keep our goals in sight and continue to work our butts off.

I'll be happy to get out of the 160's, the only time I ever want to be back here is when I'm pregnant, haha.
161.8 today, that seems to be the popular number on the scale for me. Maybe I should check my measurements early to reinforce that I am actually losing somewhere.
I think that when you get out of the 60's, you should move onto the 50's thread. Not moving is like, giving yourself the opportunity to bounce back. One I pass a certain number, I put up a barrier in my head that says "Do Not Cross" and I stay firm on my diet until I'm at least 3 pounds away so that no binge could even push me back to that number.
OK. Taking your advice. Had a TERRIBLE day today--I mentally divide my days into "days that make me fat" and "days that make me skinny" and this was the former--luckily, I don't have 'em too often anymore. But I started out this morning at 158.5, so I'm headed to the 150s thread, friends. See you there soon!
160.0 today! Whee! I always stay the same weight for a week or so then drop about a pound or so :P I think I have too much sodium in my diet though, so there's water retention issues that make that happen.
But I'm so close... The 150's will be from when I was 17. I chalk it up to how awesome my weight lifting session was last time, I increased weights on all my work outs. I also lost .3% body fat.

My body composition is improving from the weights though.
