  • Hello everyone, I didn't read all the posts above me but I'm here to say I've been here before!!

    I was at goal of 141 2 summers ago, and slowly gained almost all of it back. I'm somewhere in the 170's, last time I checked I was 175 but I've been afraid of the scale. Its time for a change... I'm tired of being overweight!!

    I hope to join you all for a short while, and then move on to the 160s with everyone!!

  • Hello all! I'm stuck at 180 (thanks to 4 days of yard work and painting in 100+ temps, lol..) but I weighed in at 179 last week.. So here I am!

    Looking to not be in the 170's long, although, I'm a very.slow.loser. so I'll be here as long as it takes. In all honesty, though, I'd love to be 170 by 8/25.. so fingers crossed!

    I'm Katie. I'm 30. Married, no kids. 3 cats that are mine, and 1 loud dog that belongs to DH. I run & elliptical every day and take Zumba twice a week.
  • I am at 180 the last time I weighed, so I am officially going to focus here since there is no way I am not losing more.

    I am a 32 year old single mom to twin 9 1/2 yr old girls. I have PCOS and insulin resistance, on medications. Using the Couch to 5K program, only in week one. Signed up for a time trial Spartan Race in November at Fenway Park in Boston. Need to kick up everything a whole heap of notches if I want to survive even a measley little time trial.

    160s here we come!
  • Another 2 pounds down - Woohoo!

    This is a different scale though, I'm on vacation visiting family. But I think it's pretty accurate because when I first got here it was 5 pounds higher than it is now, after a travel day which almost always makes me retain water for a day or so. And I've been super good on plan and all.
  • awesome! I will be weighing on friday
  • 175.5 today... was stalled for 9 days but not perfectly on plan after vacation either. So I was super careful on plan for ONE DAY and boom, I saw a loss. Also saw a friend today who was surprised at how much I've lost since I saw her in early June, so I am prrretttttyyyy much on top of the world today.
  • I'm not up after the weekend, which is SUCH a good sign!

    Usually I'm up on Monday and Tuesday after the weekend from the sodium.. But not today! Hopefully I'll be to 175 this week.

  • 178 for the past 5 days or so... Very eager to get the scale moving and get out of the 170's!
  • crickets... LOL.

    Weighed in, FINALLY, at 176.6 this morning. So.. WOO! I wanted to be 175 by my family reunion this weekend and that juuuuust might happen, ... we shall see!

    Keep going everyone!!
  • ONE SEVENTY FIVE POINT TWO!!! I made it to my original goal weight.

    Only 15 lbs to go, lol... maybe...
  • I'm here to join you lovely 170 ladies.

    I had a gorgeous baby boy four weeks ago, and I currently weigh in at 178lbs. I'm nursing so I can't concentrate too hard at shifting all these extra pounds, but 1-2lbs a week should be okay.
  • Yay Kate! And congratulations, Crow... such a sweet time, getting to meet your new baby. I'm down a bit also, 173.5... hoping for 171 soon, that will be the 30 pound mark.
  • Thanks amy! And I'm still at 175. Apparently my body likes this weight, but.. hey. I'm down another pants size, so that's cool. LOL.

  • I'm here to join you all. 173 as of this morning. Took a lot of work to get to 173 but it is well worth it to me.
  • Weighed in at 174 today. Was at 166 six months ago then fell off the wagon for various reasons (sigh), gained an amount of weight I don't know because I was too embarrassed to weigh myself (sigh), and have been working for about a month to lose some weight. Now I'm back to trying to be accountable on the scale.

    I was exercising about 3x/week, but now that's up to 4-5x and I'm feeling good about it! I hope I can maintain this routine!
