  • So I wanted to start a new thread for the 160s because the other one was getting pretty darn long! I also need a serious push to get out of the 160s.

    I am in at 162.5 this morning- which seems close enough, but it is the weight I ALWAYS get stuck at. Sometimes I get to 158-159 for a few days but I always give up too soon and bounce back to the high 160s. This time I am going to be actively writing here and staying motivated though! I started college at 150 and by the end of freshman year I was 162. Now 5 years later I still haven't lost the freshman 12! I must stay on course!! Join me!
  • BTW- Summerlove: I love the "good to be here, can't wait to get out"!!
  • yay a new thread for 160! I was at 162.8 last time i weighed! we are close together dragonfly21, let's do it!
  • i have been in the 160s for a little while and am ready to leave. I am around 168-167. I did see 164 once, but that was after a run so thats kinda cheating. I am hoping to get out by mid may at the very latest
  • I feel like I'll never get out of the 160s My weight loss has really slowed--I was 165 Monday for my weigh-in, but then back up to 167 yesterday and about 167 today too. SOOOOO frustrating! I think my body just likes being this weight--this is a weight I maintained for all of my early 20s.
  • I really need to kick it into high gear agian!! I weighed in today at 163.2 and still have a few days until my official weigh in day(Sunday). I had a bad two weeks so I'm playing catch up again. My ultimate goal was to be at 157 for my anniversary which is May 8. That is totally do able and I don't want to screw up being able to make that goal!!
  • oh no, not my official weigh (which is sunday) but weighed a pound heavier, i hope its just something weird like water weight. but glad i saw it, gonna kick it into high gear for the rest of the week!
  • pinkalarmclock- I also weighed in a little heavier- ya gotta believe it's water weight until the weigh-in day! Hopefully we will be out of here real soon!

    stella- i have also been in the 160s my whole 20s- I was starting to think my body loves 167- but I DONT!! we can do it!

    We will all be seeing 159 before we know it!!
  • ME TOO. Omg, I was so happy when I got to the 160s but I've been stuck in them since January!!!!! Granted, most of that is my fault, but when I finally saw 159 on the scale I stubbornly retained 6-8lbs of water weight that has been hanging on with a death grip on me!

    Right now I'm dealing with water weight from Easter still, but I did kickboxing today and I've upped my water by an extra two glasses. We can do this ladies! We can get out of the 160s and move onto our goals!
  • Sometimes i swear when i start to get really close to the 150s..my appetite conveniently grows exponentially. i will RESIST! Vive le résistance!!

    I did a yoga video today to distract myself and i swear i am more exhausted from that than my normal biking/treadmill/weights routine! what gives!
  • i think it was just water weight bc i weighed again today (can't help myself when I'm so close to a goal :3) and was 160.5! so this week is looking good again for weight loss
  • that's amazing!!! you are mere moments away from the 150s! you're so inspirational! just what i needed today! hopefully i will be joining you in the next week or so!
  • well im not gone yet! im glad i was inspirational!!!

    i was a little more jumpy than usual when i saw the one pound up because i haven't hit any plateaus yet and im getting nervous that i will soon, hahah.

    and im sure you will be hitting the 150s soon, i know you can do it!
  • I weighed in Fri I lost a lb. Now I'm @ 164 I just need 5 more lbs 2 get out of the 160's. We can all get out of here hopefully soon.
  • way to go mijuva829!!

    my weigh in was today and i was only down .3 (162.5) BUT I know I have lost more weight then this so I'm not upset. Last night I had two beers and a healthy amount of bread. Yesterday morning I had decided to cheat a little in the diet since I've been doing so well and haven't messed up in a loong time. So I knew the bad weigh in was coming this morning, it didn't surprise me. I'm looking for big numbers next week though, lol!
