Soooo Over the 190's and 180's...
 

So, I haven't been in the 190's for too long but when I first got here I had trouble getting under the 199 mark, and I can already feel the mental block of the "190's and 180's" setting in!!!!

SO I'M SAYING "NO!" (Actually it's a "H:censored: NO!")

I'm leaving the 190's AND the 180's behind me THIS MONTH!!!

Sep. 1st - Sep. 30th!

Anyone with me?

Anyone have their own September goal?

You can do it! Kick their butt! I've got my fingers crossed that I can do the same to the 150s this month...

I'm with you! I'd love to be out of the 180's by the end of this month. We can do it :D

Me too!! I was stuck in the 190's for TWO YEARS!!! I just recently broke into the 180's this summer and I'm ready to get the heck out!! This month I'd like to get into the 170's, heck, even if the scale reads 179.9 by October 1st, I'll be happy!!! We can do it! Good luck ladies! ;)

YES!!!! I have been in the 180s-190s since February. I am ready to say goodbye to them forever. I want to be firmly in the 170s by October 1st.

Me too! I have been in the 190's - 180's since last may (2011) I am so ready to break my mental block and get down to 170's and lower! This month I am with y'all!

I'm back on this board after a long hiatus with nothing but weight GAIN, reaching my new highest of 195 this summer! I would love to be in the low 180's by the end of this month, trying to take it slow this time with my major goal being getting to the gym 4 times a week or more.

YAY! I'm so excited to have so many people on board!!!!!!

I'm actually so inspired by your responses that I'm going to log out now and workout! (Yes! I had already made up ten excuses NOT to do it, and had given myself a free pass for today, but then reading this, I realize, I just need to do it and forget about it;) )

Thanks! See you all in the 170's!!!!

Omg me too! So over it.. Im five pounds away! they need to melt off.

good for you 1yr! I wish I had done the same. Although I did use this as motivation to eat a little better than I have been! Look forward to seeing you in the 170s!

One pound down!!!!!! From TWO weeks ago! You see??????? This is exactly what I mean!!!!

Ok, so, yes, I know it was my fault... I didn't excercise NEARLY enough and I wasn't as strict with my diet as before... BUT I'm still super frustrated!!! How do I force myself back into the routine???

I guess I just have to do it. Not think, just do... I think that's the key. Hmph!

Sorry for ranting like this... But ok, you guys will hear it here first, next week I'm in the 180's! That's it. Like it or not, I'll force myself to stick to the workout schedule and my eating "plan".

I'm way over it too! I can't wait to see 179. My goal is to be at 185 by the time this month is over.

We can do it ladies!

So I FINALLY ditched 187, yay! Hope I can make it to 179 by the end of the month.

fuct



Great job!

That's great news!!!! I hope that more of us can share such successes soon!!!

Ok... So Other than that one time that I was inspired by all of your responses, and one other time at some point within the last three weeks, I haven't worked out!!! Three weeks without a serious workout!

I was getting soooo angry with myself, and I knew that all I have to do is get started, but I just couldn't get myself to step on the treadmill! Once I actually put the DVD into the player, but I never actually worked out to it. I took it out a few minutes later! I was getting angry and frustrated, and I thought "here we go again... I guess this is as good as my weight is going to get..."

But then yesterday I decided that come **** or high water I am working out tomorrow. Not only that but I decided not to let myself off the hook with respect to my missed workouts and made a plan to catch up on every minute that I missed this week in the next three days!

So, I've already completed the workout I was supposed to do today, but now I still have to do the workout that I haven't done yesterday. It may sound cruel and extreme BUT hopefully next time that I give myself the permission to not workout, I'll remember the punishment that lies ahead!!!

I AM GOING TO GET OUT OF THESE DARN 190'S AND 180'S THIS MONTH!!!

Two days in a row at 195- here's hoping tomorrow is 194!!

I just saw someone on the Halloween Weightloss challenge go from 180'something to 179 this week and I am soooooo pumped to catch up!

I weighed in today at 191 having lost 1lbs since last week. I'm not terribly excited but I'll take a loss over a gain or no change any day :)

But next week I will for sure be in the 180's! YAY! I can't wait! I need to lose at least 2 pounds to get there and I think I can certainly do that.

I am six pounds away from no longer being obese, and I'm hoping that it will only take me two weeks to get there!

How is everyone else doing???

I'm in the 180's!!!!!!!! :carrot::carrot::carrot:

(Not officially, 'cause I weigh in on Monday's but I'm sooooooo super excited!!!!)

"Goodbye 190's! Hello 180's! Sorry I can't saty for long ;) but I'm happy to see you!!"

1yr- that is AWESOME!!!! Congrats on the 180s and I really hope you are solidly there by your official weigh in day:):)

I myself have been struggling with staying OP and ups and downs since I got under the 200 mark this time. I would REALLY love to see the 180s before the end of the month and be that from farther away from the dreaded 2 that I will never see again!!
WE CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks, Blcarter84 !

I'm really excited!

And you can totally get there by the end of the month!!! You are soooooo close! I don't know what it is about hitting the 190's that stumps everyone... I think there might be such a sense of accomplishment that the determination slips a little...

Sending you some;

:dust:

Hope we're both in the 180's solidly soon!!!

Hi All! I weighed in at 199.2 this morning so I am heading over to this thread. I am excited to be here, but hopefully I can pass through quickly. I have a super ambitious goal to be 181.4 by Halloween and then into the 170's shortly after that. I don't think I will make it to those quite that quickly, but this will at least keep me motivated.

I will join you. I need to be out of the 180s by October 1st. I feel like I've been stuck in them for so long :(

Any advice would be appreciated. Atm I'm calorie counting. Late night snacking is my weakness.

Thanks

Phew.. so I'd been hanging around 185-186 this past week, woke up this morning thinking it would be more of the same, but lo and behold, I've had a "woosh". I was getting really frustrated given that I've recently amped up my exercise by adding cycling (haven't been this active in years so I hoped that perhaps it would make me magically drop lbs overnight, haha) and I still wasn't losing. I can't believe how much the weight loss has slowed.. it's crazy, but that's the way it goes I guess.

1yr2mkovr - Congrats!! You're doing so well :D

Welcome to the new folks here, hopefully we'll be out soon!

gatorgirl6: Welcome!!! We are all very glad to have you here! I also hope that you won't be staying too long ;) You do have a big goal ahead, but hopefully you'll get there!

chloe799: Hello! Yeah, night-time snacking in tough... What I did is force myself into doing a ight workout at night, just a light walk -- but that means that I can't eat for like an hour after dinner, then I do the workout, and then I need to shower but which point it's bedtime and too late to eat. I make the workout something easy because if it's hard I won't do it, but I know that if I don't do something physiically active, I'll just eat...

fuct: Congratulations! Wow, you're getting really close to being under the 180 mark!!! That's fantastic!!! You see? You didn't give up and so when your body was ready it let go of that weight! keep going!

Well my weight in day is officially a Monday but i had a sneaky weight in this morn and so far im down 2 and half pounds :D yay. This has given me the determination to have a good weekend. I need to get out the 180's and i will do it.

Hope every ones doing well

So far I'm holding steady in the upper 180's (Not officially since weigh-in is on Monday). Desperately want to lose just one more pound so I can add another flower to my signature Monday (I don't care if that sounds silly...)

Not really diet related but how do i add the tracker thing to the bottom of my name?


Thanks in advance

Unfortunately you have to wait the minimum time since becoming a member(I think it's 30 days, but it should say on your profile page). Then you'll be allowed to create a personalized signature where you can add the tracker...

It's a bummer to wait, but it feels great when you have it! ;)

I have been avoiding the scale recently after getting back into onederland. TOM is making it more difficult stay in onederland, but I have managed to. Hopefully that means I will lose quickly once Aunt Flo leaves.

This morning I weighed in at 198.0 on my parent's scale since I am dog/house sitting for them. I will need to weigh-in on my own scale tomorrow so that I am consistent, but at least I am going in the right direction.

1YR- Thanks for thinking of me:):) I've been a little sick with a head cold and not really hungry because I can't taste anything so I've been forcing myself to eat basically. Good news is for 2 days in a row i've been at 193 point something so I think I've broken the middle 190's hump!! Woohoo!!!! Now If only I can feel better and start working out again I'll be GRAND:)

GatorGirl- Congrats on moving farther into the 190's!!! Maybe once you step on your own scale it'll be even lower KMFX! I think my body is backwards when it comes to TOM, like the week leading up to it my weight stalls or goes up and then as soon as it hits I get a huge WOOOSH downward. I just bloat really badly for 1-2 weeks beforehand depending on how late I am lol

HAPPY SUNDAY!

Blcarter - My last two weeks have been so slow, so I hope you are right. It has been a while since I tracked my weight so consistently, so I'm not really sure how my body/weight responds to TOM. I'm only 4 lbs away from my first mini goal - the 'overweight' BMI. I hope to see it this month.

Blcarter84: :o I hope you feel better soon!!! I'm so excited that you managed to break through! Keep going! Soon enough you'll be out of the 190's!

gatorgirl6: I'm 4 pounds away from my 'overweight' BMI too!!! I am REALLY hoping that I can get there in about a week, but definitely by the end of the month I want to be done with the obesity :censored:, FOREVER!!! -- My TOM is super unpredictable... Sometimes I lose weight on it, sometimes I gain. Obviously I prefer the first, and am very greatful when that happens ;)

This morning I weighed in a pound heavier!!! I'm sooo frustrated! I don't know if it's becasue of TOM (should be here today/tomorrow) or what, but it's so super frustrating because for the last couple if days I desperately wanted to lose another pound by tomorrow's weigh-in deadline, and now it looks like I need to lose two... I'm hoping it's some form of water retention, and I can still hit my target tomorrow.

It's TOM for me too. Bloating from that and a day off plan means I haven't dared to weigh myself. If I see 185 again, I might just throw the scale out the window. I usually weigh in every morning but I'm going to resist temptation for a few days, hopefully after TOM is over, I'll be down a couple..

So I am about at 188 right now, I really don't want to plateau here. Normally I plateau every 20 lbs so I need to get down to at least 180 before I do that. I am hoping to reach 175 by Halloween.

I know I shouldn't have done it, but I hopped on the scale midday. I was down two pounds from this morning. That NEVER happens. I will see what tomorrow brings. Mondays are my challenge weigh in days and Wednesdays are my personal weigh in days. Lets see if maybe I get a whoosh. Wouldn't that be nice. *crosses fingers*

This morning was my official weigh in and im down 5 pounds. I'm so pleased because im now only 4 away from 180 :)

Hope every one does well with their weight in's this week

So glad that the scale is moving right now. It has been crawling for the last two weeks and now it has picked up some speed. I hope it keeps it up!

CW: 197

Looks like everyone is doing well!

I, on the other hand, have gained a pound since my weigh-in earlier in the week :( but still at an overall loss :) , though pretty sure that after today (after everything that I ate AND TOM first day) tomorrow won't be pretty :( , actually, maybe I won't even weigh myself tomorrow morning...

I realized today that my original plan of aggressive weight loss would have had me at 164 by Halloween, and now that def won't happen. But starting tomorrow I am recommitting myself to stay on plan!

Hi every one,

Please could you share with me tips on how you get motivated to do exercise. If i go to the gym first thing im fine but if i leave it later i find myself making excuses?
