Ok, so I suck at dieting- haven't been doing the 17 day diet, but I have been watching what I eat, and exercised a bit. I'm just starting to get back into exercising after having had baby #3.
I saw 159.6 today, for the first time since I don't know when. I'm not going to bank of being free of 160 until I see it consistently but damn, it feels good! Hopefully I will soon be bidding adieu to the 160s forever!

Wow, congrats! That's fabulous, congrats on getting to the 150's!
It feels very empty in this thread... hopefully I'll be out of here soon too!
Well, I keep hovering around 160 to 158ish and I blame my lovely TOM for seeing 160 more often than not these past few days. I can't wait to kick the 160s right in the butt!
Thousandsunny, if I were seeing #'s as low as 158, I would say that I was done with the 160's- Congrats!
I've lost another pound, I know I've said it before, but its always nice to see a 'new' number on the scale.
This is my first post in the thread, but today, I'm finally 158 after about 6 months of being stuck in the 160's. I don't know what it is about that range, but it it was SO hard to break free from it! It's a very good feeling to finally be out. Also, congrats to everyone working so hard in here. You all deserve nothing but success.
Hi all, I'm new to the 160s but up there a little higher than most of you - today I hit 169, 32 pounds down. Getting close to my halfway mark of 35, and to the obese/overweight divide a couple of pounds after that. Feeling pretty motivated with all these milestones clustered together!
Well, since I'm officially 30, and officially in the mid 160s, I am going to join this little group.
I haven't been the 160s for long, and I'm actually quite comfortable here, which makes me want to get out of them even more. I think I could probably be happy here; but in a way I know it's a cop out if I stay. I still have lots of fat, I'm still overweight by body fat % and BMI standards, so I need to at least get to a normal level.
135 seems so far away still, it seems illusive because I've never been in the 130s. Well, I'm certain at SOME point I was, but it was probably middle school, early high school at the latest. So, for now, I'm just focusing on getting out of the 160s, and I'll go from there.
Kurisitaru- I know how it can be frustrating to see the same number again and again- keep going- you can do it!
LockItUp- Welcome to the thread! I am not officially 30, but I'm here anyhow, lol. My birthday is in October. You look great, and you've already lost a ton of weight- you CAN get those last 30 off and reach your goal- imagine how great you'll feel!
As for me- I haven't been eating so well in the past few days, and the scale really reflects that. Had a good wake up call this morning, and it's motivated me to eat better today. I've had a good start to the day so far. This is why I weigh daily, I can keep myself in check.
I've decided I need to start counting calories again. I stopped in July sometime (I think). I've lost since then, but it's been slow going. I have to get things going consistently again. As much as I got sick of tracking everything, I was much more successful when I was doing so.
So today I renew my commitment for 6 weeks of tracking and working out. Obviously I plan on continuing after 6 weeks, but mentally I can only handle thinking of a 6 week time frame. I kind of feel like I've lost it, mentally, over the past 2 months. I feel kind of out of control and I hope that tracking will make me feel more in control (I am sure it will). I'm starting to feel like a crazy person, really.
