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
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
.
Here's to a healthy march down to the 130s for all of us!!!!
Ultimately I think I'd like maintain between 135-140. So close, yet so far away!
