Cmwelp - congrats!

It looks like you did start a chain reaction! The scale was going between 138 and 139 today. I hope it sticks! Lisa I'm sure I'll be seeing you there too!

I'm off to the 130s thread! :carrot:

Congrats!!! Hopefully see you guys soon

I am considering this to be great news- after my family coming and feeding me for thanksgiving and days before, and then going to the inlaws and being fed all weekend from ANOTHER thanksgiving meal, and narowly escaping a 3rd in a row with hubby's friends (I went, but just ate a small amount!) I have made it through thanksgiving without having gained back a ton of weight. I saw 145 today, which isn't ideal but is acceptable. It took me SO LONG to hit 145 and below more often than above 145! I was so scared I'd be back above 145. Now to get back to working out more consistently so the weight can continue it's slow fall.

Congrats on making it through thanksgiving kakers!

I just steped on my scale after work and saw 139!! I'm really hoping to stay there by my official weigh in on Friday.

I am 140 today and can't WAIT to see the 130's. I haven't been there since college and I'll be 35 this month. I have lost 55 pounds over the last year. 5 more to go!

I guess posting this must have done the trick because as of today I am 139 and out of the 140's!

Hi everyone. I am very glad to finally be able to post to this thread. I weighed in at 147 this week! :)

I've been bouncing around the low 140's for several months now. It's time to get serious and get out of the 140's! 143 today.

Down to 144 today :)

142 today...out of the 130's by the New Year???

I am new here but I can't wait to get from this thread to the 130's. My goal is to be there by the end of January.

Down to 141.2 today. I really want to be in the 130's for the New Year. Come on ladies...we can do it!

I'm at 150 again as of yesterday so I'm hoping to break into the 140s this weekend.

142 today! Getting so close to the 130's.
Welcome crazygirl61.
Yes we can do it BlueIsis!
Hope to you see here very soon Liliesinmycereal.

I saw 141 again a couple days ago! Staying under 145 consistently too :D WOOOO!!! My goal is to see a number below 140 before Christmas- I know I can do this! It's only a week, but it's only a couple of pounds! Just need to get back on track with my working out. I was super surprised to see 141 after I've been slacking on general physical activity lately.

~Katy

Thanks for the encouragement!! I'm in the 140s now!! Yes!!! So close to the lowest weight I've ever been as an adult(145). Once I surpass that I'm not sure how much my pants size is going to matter to me!! Yea!!

We should all be really proud...just maintaining is an accomplishment this time of year! 141.6 today...slowly, slowly.

140.5 today! :)

Nice Lulu! We are weight-loss twins...140.4 today. I so want to be out of the 140's by the New Year. <fingers crossed>

Congrats BlueIsis, we are both getting so close:) I hope we are both out of the 140's by the new year!

Nice to officially welcome you here liliesinmycereal and crazygurl61!

The fact that we are all still losing during this time of year is really fantastic!

I noticed no one has posted since 12.23. I am hoping everyone enjoyed the holidays. On Christmas Eve & Christmas Day I basically ate everything in sight. But, before I went to bed last night I tossed all the left-over sweets and treats so today (12.26) there wasn't any temptation.

It feels good to be eating "normal" again. I weighed 141.8 before Christmas and I am going to wait another day or so before I weigh in post Christmas (I know I am retaining water).

In the past I have been about 138-135 (never able to break 135) and I felt pretty comfortable. I gained about 10 lbs up to 147 and now I am making the journey back into the 130s. I have been trying to break 140 for months now. What is is about the 140s?!??!!! I am training for a half-marathon so I am trying to be careful about food - it is a delicate balance act to get enough for fuel but not too much to prevent weight loss.

Here's to getting back on track after Christmas and continuing our journey into the 130s.

So far so good! I have made it past christmas without going back over 145! :D I do have goodies I brought back with me, but as they're sweets and I'm not huge on sweets I'm not too worried. Also being home means more diet soda, vs the regular soda I was tending towards staying with my family and grabbing fast food on the road :) I didn't see 139 before Christmas like I hoped, but not going back over 145 is good to me!

Argh. Weighed myself this morning - the first time post-Christmas. 145.8. Yuck. I was at 141.8 beforehand. I know I ate a lot but it was only on the 24th and 25th. I didn't have any junk since then. Also, I ran on the 24th (2 miles) and the 26th (4 miles) and yesterday (5 miles).

I expected a little gain but paired w/ my running I didn't expect to see 4 whole lbs. I am really hoping a majority of it is water weight.

I am just going to keep on keeping on. I am thinking I will see a drop closer back to my pre-Christmas weight in a few lbs. (I hope!)

Weighed myself before my bath last night, all nice and nekkid, and was at 141! I hadn't realized my not-so-heavy articles of clothing actually weigh a good 2 pounds! That's encouraging LOL!!! I haven't hopped on the scale yet today, but I'm hopeful that it's around 140. Will update after I bother getting out of bed!

~Katy

I weighed in at 143.8 today. I lost 2 lbs of water weight from the holidays. I know it wasn't realy weight gain but it was a downer to see such a high number on the scale. I am close to my goal - so close I can feel it!

It's going to come off, it's going to come off... Still around 141! This is good, I'm 141 when I step on the scale more often now though I haven't dropped below it quite yet. I started being more active again after getting Just Dance 3 and Just Dance Summer Party for Christmas, so I'm hoping that will help nudge that number down and get me out of this thread and on to the next! I hope it happens soon! :D

~Katy

What's everyone dong for New Year's?? I have a planned indulge of a few drinks and an organic scone (I love them!) but I won't be going crazy. I ran 9 miles this morning so I don't think I will do too much damage tonight.

I am so happy the holidays are over. I love them but it makes dieting and weight loss even harder.

Here's to the New Year and to us getting below 140!

Stayed home with my cats. Hubs is working overnight. I would have loved going to a dance in Philly, but I'm enjoying relaxing for one of my last days of vacation! With a drink or two ;) But I did kick off my evening with a shopping binge (whoopsss) and an hour of playing Just Dance and a light dinner.

~Katy

Woke up, hopped on the scale and saw it hit just a TINY SLIVER below the 140 mark! :D Just barely touching it really, but that means I'm like 139.9 right? What a great way to start the new year!! :D I'm sure it won't be there for long, so I'll stick around here till it's for real. So good to see that scale inch lower for the new year though!!

:congrat:

How are people doing?

I was 146.6 last night so getting there :D

Edit: Now 145.8! Yay :D

Hi everyone!

I finally, finally, finally have entered the 140's! I thought 150 was never going to let me go! 149.1 today. Excited to be here and will be even more excited to leave.

Yay :D. Welcome! Hehe I know what you mean about being excited to be here and being excited to leave too. :hug:

So...the holidays were a little tough. I was 141.4 today. Time to get it together.

Looks like you guys are doing great! Thanks for motivating me. :D

145.0 this morning. I keep gaining and losing the same 2 lbs or so. Before Christmas I was at 141.2. I have been back to my normal eating habits since then (starting 12/26) so you would think I would ate least lose a lb or two of the holiday weight.

Keep on keeping on...that is all we can do.

I weighed in at 141 today which is up .5 but when i checked my body fat it went from 25.8% to 25% and considering that I continue to lift heavy I am happy with it :) Hopefully next week I post a loss. Still working on getting into the 130's!

I'm so glad to have found this thread!

I keep hovering at 149...I did do WW a few years back and got down to 143. Just started working out last week so it's a start.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you while I take this journey. My goal is to be in the 130s by Valentine's day!

hey Alki! Hopefully working out will be the nudge your body needs, it's definitely made a difference for me!

Good morning!

I am a repeater. I have lost the same pounds numerous times since 2004! Last summer I gave up and bought bigger shorts and things and then got complacent. I got a bit of a kick in the head in October and got out of the 150's but now I'm having trouble getting my head together in the game.
I'm good for a day or two and then bobble for a bit. Over the holidays I hovered back up to 149 and am now stuck and wobbling between 143 and 148.
I am an old, old member here and KNOW that daily support is imperative! So here I am back (again).
