Hi I'm jumping on board here. I can't wait to get out of the 140's!!!!! With the holidays coming I"m really afraid that I won't be able to do that any time soon, but i"m going to try and be optimistic.

Hi, zumbachica! I hear you. I thought I was SO close to leaving 140s behind (my weigh-in on Friday was 142.8) but now I've weighed in at 146.6 for two days in a row. I can't even tell you all how frustrated I am today.

Part of this is my fault in that I do not live in a bubble and have a very active social life. I went last night for dinner with some friends. I tried to choose healthy options (veggies and hummus plate) and 1 glass of wine. I ate perfectly the whole rest of the day. Apparently that was enough to keep the bloat on. SIGH.

Rant over. I wonder why I'm even putting energy into this since Thanksgiving is in two days and whatever I accomplish the next two days will be gone on Thursday since I don't diet on major holidays, especially when I'm a guest at someone's house. Ah, well. I guess I'll reset on Friday.

Nothing to say except that my brain is already going into high holiday overdrive and I'm already nervous about flubbing up even today and today is not a holiday. Tomorrow I'm okay with eating whatever. One meal at a time, one choice at a time. I can DO this. I'd like to have a decent weigh-in tomorrow before the craziness begins. Ha. Well, let's just say that I won't hit below 142.8 tomorrow probably (my low from last week), although I suppose it's always possible. That's only 1.6 of a pound. If I dropped 2 more pounds overnight (yes, I know most of the gain since Friday is water weight still from this past weekend, so 2 pounds overnight would be nothing), then I would show a loss from last week. I think it's only possible if my sister and family do NOT come into town this evening, thus creating a festival at my parents' house tonight with food and drinks. Then again, who is in charge here? Seriously?

But anyway, usually Friday is my official weigh-in day, but because Thursday is Thanksgiving, I'm going to do it tomorrow. So it would be doubly cool if my body showed a loss from last Friday to this Thursday since it won't be 7 days. Ah, well. Doubtful.

HI all! So after working hard (ok, working at my own lazy pace) I hit JUST below 150 yesterday and a solid 149 today! I am so excited to be in this thread now! 130s here I come

I lose slow but pretty steady so I don't expect to be out of this thread until January at the earliest. I am aiming to be at 146 by the 15th and 145 by the end of the month (holidays and all that)

I'm still chucking along between 143 and 144. I'd LOVE to be in the 141-142 area by the end of this week!

Good attitude, Kakers!

Weekends do me in, I have to say!

My daily weigh-in:

12/1 - 143.6
12/2 - 144.4
12/3 - 144.8

Yep, it's creeping upward, but I came down with a bad cold last night and I know the soup I was eating last night was probably full of sodium. Also I ate a lot of cream wafer cookies -- way too many. I went over my calorie count by about 200 calories. Nothing terrible, but enough to not create a loss!

tried this a few months ago and now trying again. i started watching my calories weekly (average 1550 a day, so 1350 a few days then one or two drinking days) and cut out all cardio, finally losing again! i'm at 140 even today and so ready to see 13X on the scale.

@littlelioness - That sounds good! What do you mean by "cut out all cardio"? Do you strength train?

yes, stronglifts 5x5, so 3x a week. i'm still pretty weak (even after doing this since march), but i lost a lot of weight without strength training so i think i lost a lot of muscle mass. i had been doing cardio 2-3 days a week (3 miles each, not too fast) and thought it would help, but i think it just tired me out a lot, and i was getting really busy with school and feeling guilty about missing runs. if i stall again, i figure i'll add in a run or two a week and see if it helps. i cut out 15 miles of running a week (and about 200 calories a day, so 1400 a week) and now i'm losing steadily at 1lb/week for the past 6 weeks, so so far, so good.

My first time posting in this group. Wow I never thought I'd call myself a featherweight

Seems like it was only yesterday when I entered the 140s, now I'm oh so close to saying hello to Club-130

I'm still hovering in the low 140s, but I haven't really been weighing this past week. I'm afraid right now with holiday stuff going on!
