im so stuck! i keep going between 139 and 141. its so frustrating. i know that ill get through it eventually, just like when i was stuck at 143, its just that im getting married in 2 months and its so frustrating to be eating healthy and exercising and still be stuck!

I want out of the 140's too! And I agree with the folks who say running makes you hungry. I've found the same thing. So it helps to be sure I have some protein after a run and try to eat foods high in fiber that are filling. But it's a constant struggle between the correct amount of exercise and calories. I've been trying to count calories, but I have days that just go OFF THE CHARTS. Like yesterday. So I'm up 2 pounds from my Tuesday weigh-in. =( But I am trying to get back on track today. I aim for 1300/day, but sometimes I can be below that and most of the time I'm above that. If I could just stay on track for an entire week or two, I would probably see some better results. But every week holds some sort of surprise or special event, like a pizza and Dairy Queen cake birthday party coming up this Saturday. I'm already trying to figure out a way to either limit myself or avoid the food completely. I have NO impulse control around pizza or ice cream. It's sad.

I want out!!!

I'm 143, 10 days ago I was the heaviest I've ever been in my life (148) and was/am utterly disgusted with myself.
I have never been one for exercise but tended over the past 5 years to waver between 128-138. I think a lot of it can be blamed on alcohol...one bottle of wine in one sitting a few times a week and and all the rubbishy eating choices I make after wine...and the hangover junk food. I am pretty sure that even if I didn't diet and just cut out alcohol I would kick 10lbs in a month.
So, I've cut out alcohol and am trying IF...so far it seems to be working. Want to be little again!!!!

I'm so motivated to get out of the 140s now!

I tried on a pair of jeans this morning that I bought 10 years ago -- even though they fit, zipped and buttoned comfortably I can't wait til they are BAGGY!

I'm so tired of the 140's! I can't seem to get below 143. At first I was thrilled to be in the 140's because I hadn't been below 150 for about 20 years! Now I'm tired of it. I went clothes shopping last weekend and I feel so much better health wise but I still have this big 'ole stomach that prevented me from buying anything cute. I bought a sundress that was a medium size (Yea - haven't seen medium anything for EVER) but my stomach is still sticking out. I realize I'm rambling and I don't think I've posted in this forum before so you all don't really know me, but I just needed to whine a bit.

139.1 or 138.7 ( the scales gave me different readings) this morning ladies!
Hopefully by tomorrow or the end of the week I can officially move on!

[jacymacy]

Yay you, skinnyelle! Great job! I hope I can follow in your footsteps. I'm SOOOO close. 141 again today.

[100percentME]

^congrats skinnyelle thats super awesome!

for me it was 139.1 yesterday.
140.2 today.
Its so frustrating and yet at the same time im trying to stay positive because i remember when i was bouncing round 145, and then 143, and now im bouncing around the brink of leaving the 140's.
so close.

[skinnyelle39]

100percentme I totally feel your pain! But you are right at least the fluctuations have a downward trend. I was just writing about this in my blog. Here's to both of us being in the 130's thread by this time next week or sooner!

Thanks for the congrats ladies but looks as though Ill be here for a little while still. I was 140.5 this morning for reasons I'm still not sure of but I'm guessing it was too many late night carbs last night. Hopefully I can say goodbye officially this week. I'm going to make 140 my new red line weight. Hopefully Ill never see it or above it again.

^we definitly will make it
I was 140.0 this morning, which makes me pretty happy because yesterday my fiance and i splurged on mcflurry's and pizza.
I had hit 138.8 yesterday morning, which had me pretty excited. It means within the next couple days, as long as im extra good, i will definitly be out of the 140's. FINALLY. haha guess i shouldnt celebrate just yet, but i feel like im so close.
Plus i keep trying on clothes from last summer (when i hit 127) and while they are still tight, they are almost wearable. 132-135 is when i had started buying smaller clothes, by 127 my clothes were getting loose on me. It makes me all feel so close but i know i have a lot of hard work ahead of me. It's super difficult to find time to go to the gym these days, but after this week ends ill have a little extra money and we can buy the finace a gym membership so i can drag his butt with me every night. I think that will make the biggest difference. For now i'm doing all that i can.
Here's to being in the 130's soon

[100percentME]

double post since no one else posted the past couple days :P

i went out drinking with the girls last night. MISTAKE 143.1 this morning. I know that logically its mostly just my body retaining water from the alcohol (and cookie dough >.>) but its stuff frustrating to be stuck in the 140's!
Goal for this week is to start counting calories and get down into the 130's for sure. Its super frustrating because i look at my body and i feel like parts of me are definitly getting slimmer, but im not far enough to where i see the difference on the scale. But the scale jumps around so much. I need to find a good measuring system.
Hope you ladies are doing great.
Hoping this is my last week in this thread

I'm currently at 142.5lbs. I really want to get below 140, as this will bring me to a total weight loss of 2 stone (28lb). I also want to see my stomach, bum and thighs get smaller. I'm pear-shaped, so most of my weight is below the waist; at the moment, I have a skinny top half and a bottom half that looks sevearl months pregnant!

Hi ladies! I'm back to 3FC after over a year off. According to my old ticker, I had just gotten out of the 130's last time I was here, and now I'm struggling to get out of the 140's. To be fair, I've gained a lot of strength/muscle since then, but I'm still much heavier than I'm happy with (my goal is 115).

I'll probably be out of the 140's pretty soon so I debated whether to even post here, haha. Starting yesterday I'm lowering my calories, and lowering my carbs so it'll be easier to handle (less hunger and no blood sugar swings). The water weight loss from low-carb will probably get me out of the 140's very quickly.

Its HUGE motivation to read a post I added over a month ago weighing in at 139 and I am 140.8 as of today. It means Ive been yo-yoing for 30 days when I should've been at the very LEAST 5 lbs lighter by now. Gotta get it together...

So happy I had that salad instead of the flatbread sandwich I wanted for lunch today....
