  • New here. Currently at 145. Hoping to be out of the 140s soon! Wish me luck.. haha.
  • Weighed this am at 141.8. Ugh it feels like I was at 142 forever so it was good to see a 141 even though it was a .8. It is taking me forever to lose weight now. I have no clue why as I still have 29 more pounds to go until my goal weight! I recently invested in a bodybugg though and I see that my metabolism is much slower than I would have imagined. Also my job is really sedentary so it has given me the motivation I need to get up and move around more! I hope I succeed with it!
  • When I first posted in this thread I was 140.6 or something, then I had a few bingey days and jumped back up to 143. Now I'm 140.2... SO CLOSE to getting out of the 140s!

    How's it going for everyone else?
  • I just got back into the 140s on Sunday - currently at 148. I'm praying I can stick with it!! Trying my best to stay away from anything that'll derail my progress.
  • CLEARLY we are at a tough weight. I feel that these 140ish to upper 120's/lower 130's is the HARDEST TO LOSE!!

    It's nice to hear from people in the same boat. I can't pretend I'm extremely strict with myself, but I do want to lose weight in such a way that it is a lifestyle and not a diet. And, recently, it's just not working. And, I am fairly healthy (eating wise). I could exercise times a week but...that's another story.

    So happy about this thread and looking very forward to more posts with some helpful hints.

    Anybody try any supplements? I've been hearing a lot about Sensa and i've always been curious about healthy trim or quick trim. Any thoughts or opinions?

    Anyway....
  • Down to 141.5 now. Hoping the numbers keep going down & that I will be in the 130s soon. I am about to start my TOM so I don't think I am going to weigh myself til its over.. lol
  • Good idea Nikki - that'll just discourage you!
  • Weighed in at 140 this am and yesterday...come on I just wanna see 130 anything even 139.9 and I would be ecstatic!!!!
  • im back up to 144! i have no idea why i took such a big jump. i was 138 last week, then it went up to 142 after a night out. I thought it was prolly just water weight, that it would go away, but now im bouncing between 142 and 144. I just moved and my wedding is in 11 days so ive been pretty stressed and not eating well. I got back on track today and im going to work really hard the next 11 days to lose those 4 pounds (which im sure will come off quickly once i focus) and then try and stay there until after my honeymoon. after that ill tackle the rest of these stubborn pounds.
    After a couple months of thinking i could do without it im back to calorie counting. when i lost weight last summer i started out with calorie counting and then abandoned it halfway through because i had adopted the healthy eating and didnt need to watch calories anymore. Time to get back into that mentality, but BOY is the cake in the fridge calling my name.
    I hope you ladies are doing better than i am.
    Do you ladies all hit the gym in the summer? i like working out outside (running and stuff) but i live in Arizona and its HOT
  • I'm at 141/142 at the moment. Hopefully I will be on the 130s thread in a few weeks

    I'm trying out IF, anyone else trying it?

    I swim 3/4 times a week and I have just started doing yoga.

    I also try to count calories but I'm not convinced of the accuracy of it all.

    According to my calorie count today I ate 1055 but I think it's probably more like 1200/1300
  • 139.6 this morning. If I stay there for 2 days, I'll post in the 130's thread.
  • Ooo! I've been looking for this thread I'm around 147 right now (course my weight fluctuates daily. It's between 146 and 150 depending on the day)... Just getting started... not having a good start considering I had my birthday yesterday which was a big ol' exercise in eating. And then we go and make me a birthday cake and hubby tells me "The whole thing is for you, I don't eat that flavor of cake."

    You've GOT to be kidding me.

    I cannot say no to chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I ate one all by myself in a day and a half in college once :/

  • I am ALMOST out. I was at 141 today, but not at my regular weigh in time this morning, only later in the day. So I don't make it count for real just yet, lol. I'm going on a trip this week - and it's gonna be only healthy foodchoices thankfully, and lots of time on my hands in beautiful France nature. So.. I hope when I get back I am out of the 140s - given that I started in my 150s about 5 weeks ago, that would just be the most awesomest thing ever :P
  • AAggghhh! I have only lost 4.6 lbs. in 10 weeks!

    I keep looking on the bright side - when I have gained it's been less than one pound. It's been a fun summer with social events, tempting food, alcohol, and seeing old friends but now that those events are behind me I must get focused on getting into the 130s! I can't wait til my weigh in on Sunday!
  • Welp just got over my TOM and finally was back down into the 140s last night. Yeebs. I was 149 last night when I woke up this evening I was 146... Probably low since I had juts got up, but still makes me kinda want to sleep 14 hours more often if I wake up 3 pounds lighter. LOL
