Congrats! That must feel great! :carrot:

Howdy! I thought I would join in here because I really want out of the 140s! I weighed in this morning at 144.4.

I saw 139, like, once in my life...for about a half of a second...4 years ago. Since then I've been on that gain 10 pounds / lose 10 pounds roller coaster and I'm tired of it! :dizzy: Ultimately I think I'd like maintain between 135-140. So close, yet so far away!

Hey Trail Runner -- you're so close, exciting!

I have no adult memory of weighing in the 130s, so I'm excited to get there too!

Thank you, it feels grand!! I haven't weight myself since as I've been traveling. But, all my size 6 clothes fit comfortably whereas I was a size 8. So, I've definitely lost inches.
Just trying to maintain for now.

Hello fellow 140s -

After spending most of my life in the 1-teens and 120s, a few years ago I bumped up to the 130s. Now I routinely get myself into the 140s and even low 150s with very poor eating and exercise habits. I've been 140+ since May, and hit 150 again (hadn't been that high in 3 years) last month.

I am pretty sure my set-point now is low-140s when I am being "OK" and that I MIGHT still be able to maintain in the mid 130s if I am "good" with eating and exercising. By "good" I mean no insane bread/chocolate/sugar binges and by exercising I mean occasionally getting off the couch and sweating :p

My body is horrible in the high 140s. I wouldn't mind the number if it meant I was in shape at that weight, but for me (small frame/high body fat) it means huge rolls, cellulite and none of my clothes fit.

I can't remember what my ticker goal is but for now, my goal is 139.8. I don't really care so much about the scale number but I know from experience that I feel much less sluggish and floppy and healthier in general with these extra pounds of fat eliminated. I am going to figure out my exact plan today but in general it consists of at a minimum: no more binge-iness, cut out refined carbs, eat some damn veggies already, exercise every day (even if that consists of simple a walk around the neighborhood)...

So that is 148.4 (today) down to 139.8 = 8.6 lbs. Sounds like so little but the recent past has taught me that this will be quite difficult for me to lose. I will say that my goal will be to do this in 9 weeks = just in time for American:happ3:.

Here's to a healthy march down to the 130s for all of us!!!! :cheers:

142.6 this morning. Very slowly coming down! I was also on a plane all day on Monday, so who knows if that's making a difference or not. I tend to get stuck right around this weight when I get down here and not lose anymore because I feel decent, but I'd really like to just keep on trucking this time around.

Hi everyone,

Getting from the low 140's into the 130's is seeming impossible for me!! I've been yo-yoing between 140 and 143 for like 3 weeks now. Ack, I really want to see 138 by Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend (I'm going home).

NorthernChick13 10-08-2013 01:07 PM

Hi everyone! I FINALLY SAW 149.5 THIS MORNING! I've never, EVER seen the 140's! I am super pumped! I can't believe I am posting in the featherweight's section...!

LisaTcan 10-08-2013 07:45 PM

Finally saw 139 this morning!!

Sum38 10-17-2013 06:47 AM

I can't believe that I started this thread nearly year and a half ago and I am finally back!!

148.6 for me this morning, and I couldn't be happier!

Sum38 10-18-2013 06:44 AM

147.8

Sum38 10-21-2013 07:16 AM

Up a bit... 148.6

Noone else battling the 140's with me?

BlueIsis 10-21-2013 11:12 AM

I'm here...in and out of the 140's. 141.0 today. I really, really want to stop visiting the 140's.

cosmic wisdom 10-24-2013 07:57 AM
