nu09 That is sooo not bad! At least you're not in the 150s. :) Glad you've recovered from your flu!

Also I just wanted to check in guys. I'm STILL 157lb. Scale is not budging whatsoever! I was feeling annoyed so I checked my measurements, and I've lost a few cm since my last measurements two weeks ago! :carrot: I hope the scale will follow shortly too. (TOM is coming round next week anyway, so I won't be surprised if I'm retaining atm).

I’m still at 151.5. My body really likes these low 150s. TOM is coming next week, though, so I’m probably all bloated from that. Fingers crossed that I’ll lose when TOM is through :crossed:

Em123 thanks! Sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else lol

Sparkle I can sympathize. I was stuck between 150 and 154 for months and months. 150 was like a barrier for me and once I broke through I've never gone back. So keep pushing through and you'll get there. You can do it! :)

So after my rant I'm back op and even managed to drag my butt to the gym last night and felt sooo much better after (yay!). If I thought the 150s were rough the 140s are giving me a run for my money lol. But I can do this...scratch that I WILL do this. :carrot:

Down to 156 lbs flat! Just one more pound to 95 total and a 'normal' BMI (well after 1.01 lbs :P). Its funny, even though I know the problems with BMI, I'm still pretty excited to move into the normal range. I guess its because 'normal' and 'overweight' were tangible markers, guide posts of sorts that I could see off in the distance when I first started. I mean, losing 10, 20, 30 lbs, eta isn't really that different than losing 9, 19, 29... but it feels like it so I think the BMI thing is similar.

SparkleBE, Em123 it sounds like you are where I was last week. No loses almost the whole week before my TOM, but then came a big whoosh afterwards.

So while doing my measurements I decided to measure my height for the heck of it and to my utter surprise...I'm half an inch taller! Woohoo! For all of you vertically challenged ladies out there like myself, you'll especially understand how exciting this is. Every inch...and half inch (lol) counts!

And I agree with flashfacts. I think you guys will see the difference after TOM. Keep on plan and it'll happen.

Flashfacts congrats! I'm so excited for you! I completely understand the whole BMI thing and can't wait til I'm in the 'normal' range. Well done!! :)

madamezombie, i'm in the same boat! been hovering 152 last week and today i was 151.8, i really just want to see the scale tip into the 140's! i swear i will freak out when I am 149...that will be the lowest i've been since about 6th grade!

Thanks nu09 and flashfacts! I know I’ll drop eventually since I’ve been on plan, but sometimes I really hate waiting. And the 140s are so close it’s like a dream come true!

nu09 - Congrats on the extra half inch! That’s so exciting! You will do this! I think that every decade just keeps on getting harder to lose. And the closer we get to goal, the more we want just want to get there…

flashfacts - Wow, 1 pound away from a normal BMI, that’s amazing!! I’m still about 12 lbs away and I’m already excited. And 95 lbs lost! Go you!

Ailsapearl – I’m in the same boat – I’ve been around 151.5 for the past couple weeks. That 149 will be amazing to see on the scale though. I haven’t been there since around the 6th grade either!

weigh-in for me is tomorrow... i better see a 1-4-something (so I can finally get back to my pre-winter break weight!) *sigh

Hey everyone! Just peeking my head in at 159.8. I'm very excited to be here--only 5.3 more pounds to be at a healthy BMI! Whoo hoo!

Joining ;) weighed 153lb this morning, 2lb down from last week. Cant wait to leave the 150s. :carrot:

welcome rainy!

I had a big whoosh this morning - down to 156.5. I hope it wasn't a fluke and stays gone

Hi all! Weighed in at 158.2 this morning - paranoid that now joining this thread will throw me back up into the 160s but eh we'll see how it goes!

Thanks torito!

kelelaoha, yep, that's why I'm still posting in the 160s & 170s thread too! :D

With TOM, I’m up to 152. Hopefully I’ll lose that extra 0.5 lb and maybe a bit extra too when it goes away :) I can’t wait to get out of the 150s – I’ve been here for so long!

Rainy: Welcome! Wow, you’ve really been blasting through the decades since New Year’s!! Way to go! I knew we’d meet up again sometime!

Kelelaoha, Lilbert: Welcome!

Torito: Congrats on the whoosh!

Thanks Sparkle! I'm glad to see you again!! Although you'll soon be out of the 150s! Good thing this is a two-decade thread :)
