I'm sure you will see a loss soon Banana!

I made it to 119.6. 9lbs to go. Is there a thread for people under 120? Is it okay if I stick around?

There is a thread for people under 120 (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/feat...in-lose-4.html) but you can totally stick around wherever you want.

Thanks Kat.

Yes please stick around! Always good to have more support

Thanks!

Also, failed to say CONGRATS!!!! 119 must feel soooo good!

Thank you! I will feel better once I know that I can keep it off. You are so close to your goal!

Awesome, good on ya! I bet that felt wonderful to see than number when you weighed. I can't wait to be in the teens! The more the merrier here, I've noticed the "anyone trying to get out of the x" threads have been a little quieter recently. We would like to see your progress and share in your excitement.

I'm off to bed and hoping, hoping, hoping that I see 125 something in the morning....otherwise the weight gods are just teasing me.

I hope you see 125 in the morning!! This is my 2nd go around. I got down to 115 in December and then quit. I ended up gaining 6lbs. I weighed more last week then I did when I started last November.

Ekicna, congrats! Now get the ef outta here and into the 110's. i am just kidding. check back in when you want, or i will probably snoop around the 110s thread like i always do. don't give up ever! make this a a lifestyle.

still no good news on my part, up to 128. i am getting really upset. idk what could cause this? i didn't do anything differently this week/weekend except probably eat a little LESS to be honest. when i treated myself to something this weekend i had sugar free ritas italian ice. i didn't drink anymore than i normally do. had my vodka with diet soda. and i didn't seem to get the munchies at any point.
but i made sure that each day last week was basically under 1,000 cals. on thursday i was around 1,200. then the weekend i didn't count but, i really do not think i went overboard. wah. maybe im holding "water weight" but i dont feel bloated at all.

interventionn I've been reading lately about diet breaks, which have a lot of scientific backing to them apparently. In layman's terms, which is all I understand :P, it resets the metabolism to where you don't need to drop the calories so low to lose weight. Basically it means eating at maintenance for a while (which yes does mean gaining a few lbs) and then dieting again for a very quick drop. Mkroyer and JohnP have posted about it a lot. Maybe that would help rev your metabolism? I dip to 1000 or slightly below but only when I'm not hungry and I lose there, so I don't think you should have to cut cals any more...

Ok so I'm officially right there with you now interventionn, back up to 127 after being at 126 for a few days. GRUMBLE. However, I know I've been eating at/above 1200 so I can't complain. I definitely need to cut down on the sugar and tighten up on the cals. I do *NOT* want to get caught in the cycle of "Oh 127 is good enough...." which I easily can do.

Ah thanks indiblue with the words of wisdom/encouragement/sympathy. i think i just need to really be more strict with eating clean and low. perhaps i do manage to go overboard on weekends. i keep thinking to myself that where i am at is just unchangeable but, i know i can do it. others have.

i need to instill in myself a strict NO SNACKING policy and stick to my solid big meal or two a day. maybe i will stop drinking or limit it a bit more :P i am just so frustrated because i feel my life is so boring and sad the only thing i could reward myself with is food or drinking once awhile. i am poor because i cant seem to get a job, so i can't buy myself nice things.

we will get through this.

laadddddiiiies. ive been stuck at 125ish for 3 weeeeeks! i cannot stand it! BUT, guess what.... tonight i weigh 125.4 so i have broke my plateau! i know i will see a new low tomorrow! i cannot wait either, i can taste it! I actually had 3 or 4 days of not counting, had some dairy queen ice cream for those 3 or 4 days, and little did i know they was a whopping 750 CALS in a SMALL ice cream blizzard......WHOAAA! butttttt, i think it totally kicked my plateau, that and the HIIT training....

hope everyone gets closer down sooooon!.

I'm hoping to see 123 soooooon.

haha ashley i love dairy queen, it's right on the way home from school and most my friends work there (well when they are home for breaks) and so its my fav. place to go. i never get blizzards anymore unless it is a baby size, idk if it's called that. i usually just get a small vanilla cone or even sundae and they are actually only 200 something! and pretty worth it i think. even though its just soft serve vanilla ice cream there is something so refreshing about it. with some sprinkles. oh my gosh. i'd get some tomorrow, but josies italian ice is supposed to open even though we are getting snow tonight. and sweetness on breaking the plateau! HIIT training rules. i can't run at one pace for a long time so i do sprints.

haven't weighed myself too recently but ive been good i think we'll see.
