KenzideRhae I'm sure you will be there! You will most likely overtake me (not that it's a race...but you know..hah).

CW: 163

Nothing really good to say about this past week. I feel terribly lazy about it actually. I only did 100 minutes of walking. I guess I did well with caloric intake, but eh. I’m definitely not proud, I had a don’t care attitude this past week and that is unacceptable. I either want this or I don’t and this past week definitely reflected the latter of that statement

Over the weekend I developed a refreshed inspiration and I WILL DO THIS. Finishing my goal is not an option. I need to get back on the wagon!

Thanksgiving is next week and I am still 3 pounds from my mini goal. I need to be in full force now or I won’t meet it and that will tick me off that I couldn’t meet it/didn’t want it bad enough.

Welcome week 7…onward I go in hopes of moving the scale downward…bwahahahaha.

(post from my blog)

Good luck to everyone this week!

Good luck to you too, ToriJ! You can do it

Justkeepswimming, slow and steady wins the race!

Congrats on everyone who's about to move out! I can't wait until that's me.

Today I weighed in at 165.4 and I am THRILLED with that, because I went to NYC this weekend and didn't stick to my diet at all and drank like a fish two nights in a row. BUT I knew I was eating bad food (carbs, sugar, etc) so I didn't eat much, and I think with all the walking around I did and probably a caloric deficit, the carbs didn't hurt me too bad. :]

I also met a guy friend of mine who I've been into for a long time aaaand we totally made out. :3 We sat next to each other on the subway and our legs were next to each other and I remember thinking "Wow, my leg looks so little compared to his!" He's 6' 2" and pretty athletic and does weightlifting and has AWESOME thighs, but still, man, I've never felt small next to a guy. I always felt huge and gross even if I was physically smaller than him.

I'm becoming so confident about my body, I'm a little worried I'm starting to be delusional in the opposite direction--but then I think, well, confidence = attractiveness, so it can't hurt. :]

I was at 162.6 this morning. Im thinking it may be better that im losing slowly this time around. In the last few years Ive had a couple 10-15 losses that happened really quickly. And what would always happen would be a total relapse and Id gain it all back and then maybe.. and extra 5lbs on top of it. Soo im going to keep on keepn on.

AliceInFatLand-- Congrats on your new found confidence!! And for making out with the guy!

Hey all! Went to spend the weekend with my boyfriend's Mom. Ate out a lot and made some bad choices. Wt pre-workout this evening 169. Had a good food day today. 25 min treadmill work - burned 230 cal. Gotta get back on the bandwagon.

Great work just keep swimming!

Work hard this week, friends!

I really want to get out of the 160`s by christmas. Ate some potato chips this morning. Probably about 300 calories worth. STUPID!

Oh I'm in on this! I've been stuck at 161.8 lbs for forever!! Plus, I haven't seen the 150's since like middle school. =[

I'm still in the 160's too. I've been away from the boards a little more than I'd want to, since this is really where my true motivation/inspiration kicked in.

Really hoping my weigh-in tomorrow will see 165 even. Though I suppose it doesn't help that I'm staying up late instead of getting a good night's rest.

Don't get discouraged!! You can't gain weight just from eating 300 calories' worth of potato chips. Now, if you'd eaten 1500 calories of chips.. :P That used to be a huge barrier for me with dieting, if I ate something terrible I'd be pissed at myself and get downhearted and end up ruining my diet more. I totally ate whatever I wanted this weekend and just made sure I didn't eat too much and I didn't gain. It was kind of magical! I was worried it would just show up later, but I'm at 164.6 today!! So don't let some chips get you down! <3 (You look awesome, by the way, I've seen you in a bunch of threads, including the picture thread )

Uugh, so frustrating.

Had a bad weekend out of town eating out with my boyfriend, and his family. Hard to make good choices off of restaurant menus. I need to get used to ordering a low fat salad out, I guess.

So wt this morning was 169.4 lb.

Did 25 min (250 cal) on the elliptical today and then 20 min of weights. Gotta keep working out.

167.8 today, not too bad! So close to 165. I'm feeling lazy today and don't want to do anything...so maybe I'll bike a bit.

Newbie here....I've been stuck in the 160s for the past year. Beginning of 09 I lost about 20lbs and was in the low 150s a weight I was really happy with. I gained about 12lbs back and I have been stuck around 167 since.

I just joined a new gym and I am planning getting back to the low 150s within the next 3 months. I am already down to 164. 3 lbs since last Monday! I'm excited to have found such a great support network!

Hey Linny, good luck getting into the 150s! This is a great place, isn't it?

AliceInFatland: Good job! I totally know how you feel, finally feeling smaller next to guys haha. I always felt so huge compared to others, even if I actually wasn't bigger than them. And being confident is great, so I wouldn't worry about it so long as you're still sticking to your plan

MzHopeful: Do keep on keeping on, you're doing great!

diary: You can do it Don't let a couple bad days get the best of you!

elleohelle: At least you stopped at 300 cals! That's really not as bad as it could be. You can do it, just keep working.

est1991: You're so close, you can do it!

Atarimae: Getting a good night's rest really will help, you're right. It keeps those night time cravings from setting in and just makes you feel better all around.

yhahmd: Good job! I totally feel lazy most days and haven't been working out as much as I should either, we just need to push ourselves! But if you're keeping up with your eating habits, you should be okay until you can push yourself to do the exercise as well

linny544: Welcome and good luck!
