I've decided that I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing. Focus on healthy eating, weight training, and cardio. Then, I'm not going to weigh myself until August 1st!

I weighed in at 134 today. Down from 138.

But the bigger news is that being at 134 means I've moved out of the overweight BMI range and into the healthy BMI range. Today, for the first time in my twenties, I'm in the healthy BMI range.

Yay! Good for you. And it looks like we're at about the same height and weight now, and have close to the same goal.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, and I've been doing most of my weight-loss stuff on Myfitnesspal, but I've been loving all the variety of topics and support that I've seen so far. Super inspirational!

This seemed like the perfect place for me to start. I can relate to most of you sooo much. Since I started my 'healthy' lifestyle, I got into the 130's pretty easily (the high-end), and it's taken me being very strict with calories and exercise to get as far as I have now. This morning I was at 133.6 lbs, but I fluctuate between 133 and 137 so easily. I'm on some medication that causes weight gain, but I've been fighting hard to beat that, and hopefully once I'm finished with it (2 more weeks), I can slip into the 120's with less of a struggle.

I used to weigh once a day, but since I started school, I have to be up at 5AM, and I always found the scale to be less forgiving that early - now I check a few times a week out of curiosity, but I wait for my official weight on Sunday mornings, after I can sleep in a bit.

I was down to 128 briefly about a year ago when I was very very ill, and then hospitalized. It was not a happy 120, so I can't wait to be there fully healthy and active. Other then that one brief time, I don't remember being below the 130's, so I can't wait to see what it looks like on my body!

Ok, I've spent 4 days in the 130s, and today after a planned "cheat" meal last night I'm still 139.6 so I'll say I'm officially in the 130s now.

Nice to join you all!

Cool. Not that often there are other 5'2 people wanting to lose weight. Fun to have someone shooting for the same as me.

Fayve Myfitnesspal is great. I log everything I eat using that app.

I'm still determined to work hard and not weight myself until August 1st! I get so discouraged too easily!

I have been between 138 and 139 for the last couple of days so I am officially joining the 130s thread. Hope to be seeing the lower end of the 130s in a few weeks.

Weigh-in day today. Up to 134 Seems to be holding pretty steady there, but very frusturating. I guess it bothers me that I never gained more than 5-10 pounds from this when I ate whatever I wanted, but when I restrict my food and work out, I still "gain" weight on a weekly basis. This is two weeks now that I've slowly been going up from my lowest of 132.8.

Sooo annoyed.

I've been away all summer Hi to everyone! Well I've been on 2 long long vacations and am up to 136. Not too bad, but obviously, if I keep gaining 1.5 lbs a month, it would be bad. I'm hitting the gym tomorrow with my good old work out buddy, and after stocking up on healthy veggies/fruits.

It is pretty strange how just a few lbs make such a difference in how clothes fit at this size. cant wait to get back to losing again!

Please don't get too frustrated. This has been happening to me too (fluctuating 2-3 pounds in both directions) since the weather started to get warmer and more humid. My body is just clinging onto moisture!! Sometimes it lets go, sometimes it doesn't. My clothes tho are feeling a little looser so something must be going on inside that is not fat weight related! Just keep doing what you are doing and the scale will soon surprise you!

i have been MIA for a while.. still stuck at 133. would like to lost 10 lbs.

I'm back to 133.8 yet again today, which comes as quite a surprise. I've had some awful days of eating and not enough exercise, and aunt flo is here for the first time in 4 or 5 months for me, so that's causing a lot of bloating as well. The scale had been showing 135+ for a while now, so I was very shocked to see it back down to normal today! Almost hoping that if I give it another week with proper eating, and no bloating, I'll be down a few pounds more. My goal was 129.9 by August 2nd, but I don't think that's too realistic at the moment. We shall see!

Well, fellow 130s Feathers, this thread is about to close (at 500 posts) so get your final posts in!

I, as a permanent member of the 130s club, have progressed since the beginning of this thread last November, from 135 down as low as 131.2 and now have packed on a few and am somewhere around 137. BOO! I think I actually got complacent when I got so close to my goal, which is only to be OUT of the 130s, as in 129.8 or lower. I stopped planning, slacked off on the exercise, basically just got lazy and grumpy about always having to think about this stuff.

I had sworn that I wasn't going to worry about the number on the scale but it's hard not to. I am 5'6" but OMG those 5-7 pounds make SUCH a difference. Already clothes are tighter and my belly is lumpy and muffin-top-y.

Good luck to you all with your goals and maybe see ya in the next 130's thread

[ETA: I just noticed that even with my recent gain, my goal is still only 8 lbs away. It is INSANE and a bit pathetic that I have been trying for a year to lose 8 stinkin' pounds. On one hand, maybe I should just give up and be happy in the mid-130s. On the other hand, those few pounds make a huge difference on my small frame. GRRRRRRRRR]
