188.6 this morning! I hope that you are doing well!!

188.6 was my lowest weight so far. I have been bouncing around all week and got back up to 190.8. It is a bit frustrating because I have been doing so well with my plan, but the week that I hit the 180's I had lost 4 lbs, so I suppose a little gain was expected. I am hoping to be back down to 188.6 by this time next week!

Back down to 188.8 today!! Hopefully I don't bounce back up into the 190's anymore!

187.2 today!!

186.6

Hi all! I am currently in the 180's, at 180.6. I have been struggling, bouncing back and forth between 180 and 179, so I'm going to say I'm in the 180's until I can keep my weight stable below 180.

hey NFTM!! I think its just me in the thread at the moment, its nice to have some company, although looks like you will be headed to the 170 thread soon!!!

Hi Kfunk! With how my weight fluctuates I might be hanging around longer than you think, haha. But I bet you'll be heading into the 170 thread soon yourself!

By the way, I noticed you are 5'4". I am also 5'4"!

nftm I am hoping that I go down soon, but my body sure likes the 187s haha! How did you land on 130 for a goal weight? I randomly decided on 140, but based on what I look like now, I may need to adjust that down!!

I'm at 181.6 this morning, up a pound.

I decided on 130 based on the BMI chart, my age (I am 40), and what I looked like the last time I was at 130, which was around the age of 22. I figure that I need to give myself some leeway because of my age. But if I can get down around the 120's and look good and feel comfortable there or perhaps lower, I'll give that a go. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

186.8 today, hoping that I will go down a bit more this weekend if I can string a couple good nights of sleep together!! I am REALLY excited to get into the 170's!

That sounds like a great plan! The lowest I really remember being was 148 and that was when I was 16 years old. I did have a fair amount to lose at that point, so I am guessing that I could probably end up in the high 120's and look and feel healthy. I have had 2 kids and am 33 now, so that might change things though!!

I have read that some women manage to stay the same weight their entire adult life, from being 18 years to the day they are 90. I don't know how they do it, they must be extremely disciplined or just eat the same way they did as a teenager? I think I read it in that book "French Women Don't Get Fat". I have also had three children. The last time I was dieting and successfully losing weight, I had gone from 189 down to 167, and then I found out I was pregnant with my third son. Then I went back up to 188 at the height of my pregnancy, and after I had him I was somewhere around 178. Not too bad of a gain, but I was hoping to be where I had left off, lol.

I have dipped down into the 170's this morning, at 179.8. I don't know if I'll go back up or keep heading down, but I'll keep you company so you're not in the thread by yourself!

I have wondered that myself. For how much I have struggled with my weight, its amazing to me that some people stay healthy and fit their whole lives.

You are sweet for hanging out with me!! I hope that your weight sticks! I was 186.2 this morning... was secretly hoping for more, but I will take it!

186.2 is great! You're getting there. What are you doing to lose weight?

I'm at 178.8 this morning. I'm doing keto, it seems to be the only thing that works for me for losing weight.

Hi 👋🏾 I'm in the 180's myself and it's taking me longer than expected to get to the 170's, I'm getting antsy. I'm hoping to have someone to talk through it. I haven't been in the 170's in 17 years so...

Anyway, weighed myself last week, I was 181 🎊🎉, then weighed myself today, 183.4. I did celebrate my birthday this week and that day was about 500 calories over with no exercise but I got back to plan the next day, I still overshot the calories for a couple of days but not by much and I've been doing extra physical work this week too, clearing the yard of a vacant house, cutting trees, pulling weeds, carrying garbage out to the curb and that's added to my normal workouts of 25 miles a week walking with a little jogging thrown in, according to my apps, I burn approximately 2800 calories a week on just the workouts. I'm back in the 1200-1300 calories so I should see some movement soon🤞🏾
