  • 175 today. It's a total YAY!!!! I've been waiting for it for so long.
    I use a scale that shows weight in Kg, so that means that in kilos I'm changing "decades". I was in the 80s and now I'm in the 70s.
    It also marks my 10th pound lost. YAY!!!
    I'm so happy.
    However I have a social gathering this weekend and there will be family, friends and food. How I'm going to manage in order to keep myself in check.
    "Food for thought". lol
    HAVE A NICE WEEKEND Y'ALL!!!!
    DETERMINED NOT TO GAIN ANYTHING BACK
  • Seems like there isn't a lot of 170ers.
    Anyway, I managed through the deadly combo weekend. I didn't gain, I lost. 174.8 day. YAY!!!
  • I finally get to be a member of this thread!!! Weighed in today at WW!!!!!

    02/04/14: 186.6
    02/11/14: 181.2 -5.4lbs
    02/18/14: 178.6 -2.6lbs

  • Welcome Donijo. Well done!
  • Thank you! I am so happy!
  • Unbelievably, I am still creeping in the high 170s and even staying on plan, a stressful work weekend and starting weight lifting has bumped me up to 180 with water retention. Fingers crossed the weight training will be the boost I need.
  • I have been stuck in the high 170s since November. I totally acknowledge that it's my fault. I will lose 3-4lbs, get lazy with my diet & exercise, gain it back, lose it, gain it, and continue in this cycle where I stay the same weight for months on end while half-assing my effort when if I would just stay dedicated I could make some awesome progress.

    I am really REALLY WANTING to get out of the 170s by April 1.
  • 173.9 this morning. PURE BLISS

    woot!! I can't wait to see 173 anything!!! Was 174 today after a week!! I've been eating really clean too, hope it pays off!!
  • After a challenging Valentine's weekend, I am back on track and weighing in at 174. I was at 171 before Valentine's . . . but I'm not discouraged! Just need to keep the sweets to a minimum, and be more mindful about them. So toodles, your scenario is sounding familiar to me.

    I've started following some healthy recipe/fitness Instagram accounts, because I love Instagram and check it all too often. Trying to avoid body-shaming ones--keeping to the positive! We'll see if it helps me keep my focus.
  • 175.4 after workout today after a crazy couple of weeks.
  • 174 again today, second day in a row, soooo that means ticker gets changed finally!!
  • thanks to my screw up and still eating like it's my daughters birthday I am back to 171 today, smh. I had been in the high 160's for 9 days but couldn't get away from 168-169. I'm hoping to kick myself back into gear and be back in the 160's soon
  • Zoomed from 179 to 175 pretty quickly, so I can't complain. But I was really hoping to zip the whole way through pretty quickly also. Anything starting with a 1 and a 6 would be awesome.

    Been low carbing since October, running since middle of January, and weight lifting for 2 weeks. I feel like I'm not losing anything in my belly. Maybe a half an inch but I'm not confident I'm measuring consistently. I've been so determined and haven't eaten off plan, but this week is kicking my tush.
  • 173.5 today. I'm okay with that, given how much I pigged out for the past 2 days.
