  • Way to go jitterfish and love2b150--it's so encouraging to see people fighting their way OUT of the 170s!

    I think I'm really finally here for good--I don't ever want to go above 180 again in my entire life ever ever ever ever again.

    178.2 isn't as low as you two are, but I'm getting there!
  • Hello! I lost the holiday weight and I am back. Today 178.5
  • thanks Beth, you can do it and you will because if I can we all can, I am a piece of work

    Kitcherella way to go

    new low 171.8
  • I hit a new low this morning--176.4! I love visits from the whoosh fairy!

    I'm trying to focus on today but I'm doing that "if I lose 2 lbs a week. I can weigh 150 by our cruise in May" thing--like that ever works. I do have a more realistic goal of 160 by then--and that would be amazing.
  • Congrats everyone on the great weigh ins!

    I want a visit from the Woosh Fairy!
  • Hello all! It's been about a week since my last check in. This morning I was 177.4...annoying! I have been stuck at this number forever! It feels like the 170's are gonna last forever lol! Gonna be more disciplined in my diet and exercise and hope for the best. Gotta stay positive and know that these small "stalls" don't last forever and the scale will move eventually.
  • the whoosh fairy is here too Beth 177 today! I am sending her your way Gymrat
    on the low love2b150
  • Thanks Kitcherella! I'm bloated and whiney and hungry. BAH. No weight today, it's not worth the aggravation.
  • My ticker is off (I was 169 before the holidays!!!) I'm struggling to get back to that number and I don't know why but it is HARD!

    I was 174 today though, so a lb lower than yesterday! It's something right? I think I need to be more active on this thread so I keep the motivation going. You guys are doing so great!!!
  • I'm back in the 170s . . . barely! I'm with you Beth. 180s never ever ever ever ever again!
  • just signed up to this website because I have decided this is going to the year I get back to my ideal weight got a long way to go at 178 but ill start by aiming to be 169 by first of march.
  • Beth I think 150-160 is very doable by May I hope to be there also

    gymrat I'd like a visit from the whoosh fairy also, or even a new lower number on the scale would be nice at this point I've been bloated also

    tadaponce, good for you on the positivity

    thanks Kitcherella good job on the whoosh

    hhm, I did well on Dukan but couldn't stick with it … hope it's working well for you and a pound is something, keep up the good work

    skutumpah, barely is still here, way to go

    clare and to the thread

    172.2 for the second day

    I've made some major adjustments to the diet, it isn't 100% Dukan, but I lost my first 30lbs from it! So far it's ok though, was 173 today!! =)
  • hhm it worked for me while I was doing it, so I would love to hear how you've tweaked it … if you don't want to share on the thread, feel free to PM me, thanks

    I'm down .2 to 172
  • Think I need to up my protein...but so hungry lately without a real reason why. Good news is I was down to 175.6 today...so we're getting somwhere! (although I was 174.8 the day before..I hate water weight!) So I'm hoping to be down to 174.0 by weigh in on Monday..we shall see! Good work everyone!! Hope yall have a great weekend!!!
