Is anyone else still battling the 170s??
I'm so close to done with them, but have been stuck for what feels like forever.
I took a hiatus for a few weeks and focused on running my first half marathon, but now that is over and it's back to weight loss focus!
I'm looking for 170 by Monday!
I'm new to the 170s--179.6 this morning and I'm thrilled! I was in the 180s forever and was in the 190s forever. The 170s had better watch out because I want OUT of them already and I just got here!
I rocketed through them superfast! And now I am back. The whole thing is confusing and frustrating, because I've been sticking to my plan, except for this week because I am ill and eating LESS.
Check out the madness!
Started out at a normal, happy downward trend with the usual fluctuations because I weigh daily. I'm not posting the whole month, but it was good!
9/19 172
9/20 173
9/21 171.5
Sweet, right?
Then:
9/22 168
I hopped on and off the scale like six times. Apparently I swallowed helium in my sleep or something.
So I expected a rebound all at once. And it didn't come. Instead, I've been gaining little increments all week. Does water weight work like that? I haven't been exercising because I am sick and feel like death warmed over. But surely that should cause more loss, right? No.
As happy as I am to have company here, I hope this morning you found you were back out of here!
In the last five days, I've been 180.0 three times, 179.6, and 179.8 (this morning).
I feel pretty good that my ticker move to 180 was definitely not premature!!! I don't even know when I was last in the 170s, so I'm pretty psyched about it!
I am at 170 today, which has me feeling much better. 168 never seemed like an accurate weight, but the slow upwards creep was stressing me more than an immediate jump in weight would have. Here's hoping I'll be out of the 170s for real soon.
I'm 174, used to be 150, then went to 140 during my divorce, and went straight up. Feel like I can't lose the baby fat in the mid section what so ever and just started calorie counter. So we shall see how it goes.
I'm flirting with the 170s and hope to be down here soon. My scale has wavered between 179.x and 180.0 for several days...I'll be checking in and hopefully reall here to stay before long!
I just made it to the 170's! I have not been since small since college. I am excited to be in them as the 180's were a long slow battle. I hope the 170's go quickly!
Hi lilkel, looks like we're starting the 170s together. I was 178.8 this morning and don't ever want to see 180 again. It's been at least 10 years since I've been in the 170s, although I'm not sure exactly beyond that.
I have a lot of determination right now--and really want to keep going!
178.6 this morning. Another work jacket went into the give away pile this morning. I put it on and thought I looked dumpy. The shell I'm wearing is a bit loose but wearable. I love seeing and feeling the changes in my clothes, even if it means I have to get rid of stuff I love.
I've only been in this decade such a short time and I'm dreaming of the 160s already!
