I hit 133 today--which is the tip top of my maintenance range. I still want to lose about 5 lbs. When I see 133 on the scale, it will be my red flag to stop what I'm doing and get my weight under control! I hope in 5 lbs that I will be able to fit into a 6.
I can wear 6's now, but it gives me a little muffin top, so I won't wear them Oh ****, I may go all the way for a size 4 and lose 10 more. I guess we'll see. I've started getting comments that I should stop, that I look perfect, but honestly, they're used to seeing me in 14's, so it probably looks weird to people. I'm not sure....I have a lot of loose skin thanks to my babies, so we'll see. I think if it weren't for the loose skin, I'd be in a 4 or 6 already......The last thing I want is to look sickly, but I do think my body is built to be pretty thin. My hubby met me when I was 115-120 without even thinking about it in college, so he'll like me if I'm that thin again, I"m sure
I'll be back later, have to run off to meet a friend

I'm down to 135, which is really exciting since it's in my healthy range. I'm still going down a little bit at a time, which is very exciting. I also wanted to be 129 by the end of April but I'm not sure I'll get there at this rate - oh well! I've almost lost 18 pounds in 2 months, so I think I'll just be happy with that.
Hello everyone. Hope you're all doing well.
I'm new, and at 134 I think this is the right thread for me
I've given my diet/exercise routine a big shake up for the last week or so and I've lost 2 pounds so far, so I'm pretty chuffed. I've set my goal weight at 122 but I'm going to wait and see how my body looks/clothes fit etc as I (hopefully get down there). That's pretty much the weight I was before I went to uni 4 years ago, so it would be lovely to get back down there and I think it suited me because I've got a relatively small frame.
As well as eating a lot better, loads more fruit and veg and cutting out sugary snacks etc I'm also training for a 15k in the summer, woop. I did the Great North Run (ooh that's an English thing, although I think it's actually the world's biggest half marathon) a couple of years ago, but I'm strictly a 5k runner these days so it's going to be tough to up the distance. I do enjoy running though so that helps.
Anyway I've rambled enough, I hope everyone has had a good day!
Krampus- haha oops, was that very British? I don't really think about what I write- I type a lot like how I talk. I might change my caption thing to UK8 to avoid the confusion . I can squuueze myself into size 8s but it is neither attractive nor comfortable so still a little way to go.
Congrats on the 130.1- you'll be off into the thread down soon, hopefully it won't be too long until I join you. I've never been a big diet/exercise person so I'm not sure how long my loss is going to take me. I guess it's a bit of trial and error with the calories etc until I get it right?
Pinkflower: I think you'll know when you are happy to maintain. I get comments to saying "I look great now" but personally, I know I can do better!
Hopeful8: It'll go down again I'm sure. I went up to 130.8 the other day from 129.4 but it's just another day on the scale
maydaymayday911: Good luck with your goals!
Krampus: You are on a ROLL! 7 lbs since monday! I wish I had that kind of whoosh nowadays!
criss: Good luck!
Georgiahoneybee: you look really good in your avatar especially because you are so tall (read: I'm jealous...being a shortie myself)
I saw 129.0 on the scale today but this week is TOM so I won't leave this thread until after this week is up.... I'm still nervous about it because I can't believe it.... I never thought my body was capable of going lower than 130
Hey
I am not new to 3 FC but don't always post. I felt the need to post here so I hope no one minds!
I have been weighing in the past week at 131.2-132.8. I haven't been in the 120's in over 2 years. I feel like the 130's is just taunting me and will not let go! I have been very very slowly losing and it is beyond frustrating but i do feel some encouragement knowing summer is coming soon and I want to look hot on the beach!
Are you ladies losing quickly or slowly? Counting calories/ WW?
I've gone from counting, WW, journaling, not counting... nothing seems to do the trick
I weighed in at 127.8 lbs this morning so I think I can safely say I'm in the 120s! Hope to see you guys all there soon.
JessieCat: You are so much taller than me so it's probably going to be hard to lose every 1/2 lb. Even for me at this weight, I'm maybe losing 0.4 lbs - 1 lb a week with daily exercise and watching my portions. One bad day of eating can undo a whole week of hard work.
I don't really calorie count anymore. I just watch my portion sizes. I did calorie count in the beginning though.
Good luck!
I went on vacation and was 134.6 before I left. When I got home I weighed myself at night. Bad idea! I was 142!!!! after about 2 weeks I'm at 136.8 trying to get to 120
I've been lurking here for a few weeks now, desperately wanting to get out of the 130's which is where I've been bouncing around for the last 2-3 years. I buckled down around mid-march and I've managed to go from 137 to ~131 in that time. I actually saw 129.8 one morning a couple of weeks ago but haven't since. Blechhhh.
I was at 130.8 this morning so I'm really hoping to see a 120's number within the next week or so. Expectations for a quick loss (like the last time I was here) have officially been lowered.
Oh ****, I may go all the way for a size 4 and lose 10 more. I guess we'll see. I've started getting comments that I should stop, that I look perfect, but honestly, they're used to seeing me in 14's, so it probably looks weird to people. I'm not sure....I have a lot of loose skin thanks to my babies, so we'll see. I think if it weren't for the loose skin, I'd be in a 4 or 6 already......The last thing I want is to look sickly, but I do think my body is built to be pretty thin. My hubby met me when I was 115-120 without even thinking about it in college, so he'll like me if I'm that thin again, I"m sure
