sotypical, it's been sunny on and off here. At least it isn't freaking raining. And it's supposed to get nicer later in the week, so I'll take it. I hope moving your ticker will help you. I think that anything that helps you celebrate your progress is a plus. I know from experience that progress is sometimes hard to recognize.
No work today and man, I felt lazy! I ate a really heavy breakfast and it made me feel so lethargic. I kept telling myself to go workout, but then I just kept laying on the couch watching a marathon of Dance Your *** Off all morning! I eventually did workout, but that show is majorly addicting! I've been on plan today and my mother brought home Costco sized BLUEBERRIES which I absolutely LOVE so I am very happy right now. Hope everyone else had a successful Monday!
tuende - it started POURING here last night. Out of no where. I even saw some lightening! And the sky is dark today. *sigh* I think it's because I ordered myself more lululemon crops - this happened last time I ordered them too!
Hi ladies! I've missed you all sooooo much. Work has been keeping me on my toes lately and I haven't had much time to get on the forum. How is everyone?
I fiiiiiinally made it out of the 150s two weeks ago and I'm less than 3 lbs away from my goal. The day I got on my scale and saw 149 I almost cried. It's been YEARS since I was below 150 and I can't even remember the last time I wore anything smaller than a 10/12. I'm looking forward to wearing a bikini for the first time ever in a few weeks.
Again, I want to thank you all for being my support team and motivation. I promise I'll try to check in with you all again soon!
I am lonely. Whether you intend to actually "get out" of the 140s or not... FEEL FREE to come and join me in the "Sayonara to the 140s" thread, because I am (quite literally) talking to myself.
I wonder if we should join the 150's and 140's thread? Seems like the 140's is not very busy? I mean, I would love to be in the 140's thread but I don't see that happening any time in the near future!
We could call it, "Taking it all off! get me out of the 150/140's" or something...
But then I guess you lose the feeling of changing threads.
Hmmm. Yeah, I mean.. I guess you lose that celebratory "See y'all later, I'm switching threads!" but... to be totally honest, switching threads has always been a bit of a downer for me, because you get to know the ladies in YOUR thread, and then you switch to a new, quieter thread as you lose more and more weight.
I mean, this is a weight loss forum, so there are more people in the 170s thread than in the 160s, more in the 160s than the 150s... and... well, me, and a few people who don't post in an obsessive fashion in the 140s.
I like the combo 140s/150s thread idea, just because a lot of peoples' goals (depending upon their heights) stop somewhere between the 130s and the 140s anyhow, and many people aren't looking to "get out" of the 140s.
Jelbb - that's what I was thinking too. And as your getting close to goal the weight loss really slows. So people aren't coming and going as quickly. And like you, I like everyone in this thread. Maybe that's why I don't lose weight - because I don't want to switch threads! hahahah not...
Congratulations on making it out of the 150s, MiSSxB! It looks like we're about the same distance from our goals!
Jelbb and sotypical, I agree with you about switching threads. It was exciting when I was trying to get out of the 170s, and great when I was trying to get out of the 160s, but as I get closer to my goal it's less of a "Yay, I get to move to a new thread!" and more of a "Boo, I have to leave this thread behind!" My goal right now says 145, so technically I shouldn't want to get out of the 140s. I think staying here is better for me, until I finally commit to reaching my ultimate goal of 125-130.
The school year is so close to being over I can taste it! I spent the whole day today writing report cards. The marks were easy, but the comments took forever. I had to write two for each student, one for term 3 and one for the entire year. My hand hurts! This time next week I'll be home and getting ready for my cruise!
Just checking in. I'm feeling kinda crappy right now. I haven't worked out since Sunday (and even that wasnt' a very good one). Definitely have to get back into it tomorrow. How are you guys all doing? Better than me I hope!
Kirjava...my report cards are DONE!!! I sealed them all up today and it felt good! I did however spend almost 12 hours at school packing ****. And it's not even my ****! What I won't do for those kids... Where are you going on your cruise?!
rockstar, hope you're feeling better soon! Working out always seems like it's going to suck, but then makes me feel ten times better. Get it, girl!
Jelbb, I'm so down for combining the threads. I never switched threads because it was so lonely over there and I'll be honest, these girls are just awesome!
tuende - I just ordered more cheap lululemon crops. So warning, it's gonna start raining soon.
I need to stay off this site. Or I need to stay fat. SERIOUSLY! 3 pairs of crops ordered now... I have a serious problem. The last pair I ordered is a bit small but still! Good thing they are cheap (for lululemon anyway) and I doubt I am gong to drop enough weight for them to be too big by the end of the summer haha.
So, I've been lurking here for the past couple weeks and not posting because I was so behind, I felt like I didn't have time to address everyone and since I couldn't I just didn't post at all. But, I'm jumping back in (even though I'm technically 161 ) I have fallen off the wagon a little lately, but I'm back on now and determined to get back to where I was which was 156.9 and an all time low.
Anyway, I love the idea of joining threads! I was really sad to leave the 160's thread, but luckily many of us moved on around the same time.
I hope you are all doing well, it seems like you are! Has anyone heard from stargzr lately?

sotypical What'd you get this time?! I want a pair of pants that I had from when I was big...only a few sizes smaller, haha. And I want more hoodies. They're so comfy cozy. I really one...and I want another of my running shirts. They're expensive, but wow it's the best thing ever to run in. I'm getting myself a new outfit for my half marathon. My goal's to be a size 8 in my favorite shorts by then.
And thanks tuende. I did 30DS L3 and had a short run (my ipod was dead - annnnnnnnd the screen is completely gone. So mad. I need a new one).
I'm so annoyed with not burning any calories (relative to what I was before) now that my weight's down. (Haha, double edged sword). I need to do something new. I keep going back and forth between muay thai and cross fit. I love muay thai, but when I look at people that do crossfit they have the body I want.
I've missed this thread!
