I've been horrible!! lol i haven't worked out since the begining of june granted though i have still been eating right but i am stuck at 171 and i know untill i start hitting the gym again thats where i'm going to stay! i need motivation! summers are just so hard becuase im always going going my orginal goal still stand 120's by by my b-day in december

jackiedavis87, summers are tough for me too, but you can do it. Have you tried joining any challenges? Joining some here and on MFP have helped me immensely in terms of motivation and staying on track.

lovehopefaith, it's summer here and you would think that living in the blazing southeastern U.S. would make it easier lol, but it doesn't. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't wait until I actually feel thirsty to drink.

Stepped on the scale and saw 175.8 lbs. 20 pounds gone and never coming back.

lol - yeah i think it's hard anytime! Yeah its the whole if your thirsty then it's too late kind of thing... But i just don't ever think "oh i should go have a glass of water now"

Wow thats awesome, 20 pounds gone must feel GREAT!

jackiedavis87 - I feel your pain lol. I have not exercised in a looooong time. But because i'm still loosing weight, it's hard to find the motivation :/. At the same time, i don't want to get to goal weight and for it to be a hot mess because i haven't been weight training/doing cardio. Plus going to the gym can be great for loosing weight. But argh. lol.

173.6 today - Almost at 30 pounds lost! Feeling a bit like i look exactly the same, but i know it's my mind playing tricks on me - it's also TOM so feeling a bit more bloated etc. 160's here i come!

Petite and Love, congrats on your monumental weight loss! Awesome job!

My scale batteries died, so no weigh in today. Sad times. Ate well today, hopefully back to 176 range. Can't wait to see 167 as that will be my lowest in 10 years. Got to 168 after atkins (but only started at 178) about 7 years ago. Hopefully mid August will bring me there!

Hi Ladies,
I am back. I come and go...(go too often). This has been my cycle...work really, really hard loose some weight...maintain for a bit...and then start to gain slowly. I am fairly active, but I am not careful about my food intake when I am not working hard.

I realized last August 4th I weighed in at 168, the lowest I have been since blowing up to 195 after I got married and that is what my ticker is set at. (I was trying to avoid posting until I got back down there, but I figured what the heck).

Over the past few weeks, I have again set on my journey of working hard with my first goal being 168 by August 4th. I am having a difficult time loosing weight this go-around. I was down to about 172 a few days ago, but then my weight went back up to 176.2 the next day (for no apparent reason). 174.2 yesterday. I am feeling pretty good, but I am frustrated with the lack of weightloss.

On a good note, a size M nightgown (shorts and top) that I bought while I was dating, I fit into last night and it looked pretty good (that nightgown did not always fit!)

Goals:
Aug 4th: 168, weight Aug 4th 2010
September 29th: Less than 165, the weight I was when I got married in 2007
October: 158 or less, my lowest adult weight (when I was in grad school, very active and running all the time)
153lbs, the weight I was in middle school
138-145lbs, Final Goal

thank you for the motivation! and i know we can both make it back to the gym eventually! and i know once i get back onto it ill love doing it!

I absolutly understand what you're saying. i've thought about joining a challenge but i'm hardly ever home during the summer i like to fish and since i live on the coast we always go go go i think i'll start the august excersize challenge since july is just about over with already.

hey i think that is really awesome! you've almost reached august goal! i think you can still make it. and on an even awesomeer note a M size night gown is great! i can't wait till i can get into one i'm 171/170 right now and i just got into wearing L tank tops sometimes i still have to wear XL but its mostly larges just 6 months ago i was almost not able to wear an XL comftorably! so way to go us!

174.8!!! Hoping my scale isn't teasing. Found out the kids got it wet, the batteries weren't dead after all. I was super happy to see that this am. I would be ecstatic if I could *possibly* still get to 169.9 by Aug 1st. 12 days, 4.9 pounds?? Probably not, but one can dream!

It's doable or you could at least get close, you'd have to work hard though (thats the catch)

163.8 today! Soooo close, I can taste it.

That weight of 176.2 was a fluke. It went back down quickly on par with the other weigh-ins...170.8 this morning...I am feeling good today and hope you all are as well!

Oh my goodness another tall girl stuck in the 160's. I'm right at 170, was 160 last year and then got up to 175 when I stopped tracking and exercising etc. I'm ready to get down to the 150's! Don't stop, we can do this!

I m stuck again, familiar story, got a busy weekend though so fingers xd that will help shift the dial!

Mish, good luck this weekend. You can do this, stay motivated and remember the payoff!!

Change, glad that was a fluke. I have those days too, often actually, but thankfully they have been going down after a day or two!


174.6 today! Woop!
