Welcome, sweettoth! May your stay in the 160s be quick and painless!

I did my official weigh in and it was..... 163.6!!! It's TOM so I really really thought it wouldn't go that low but boy am I excited!

Ooh, can I join? I'm at 162, 14 lbs up from my lowest weight of 148 last year, but I'm on my way back down...

That's awesome Kurri!!! well done! maybe we can both break out of the 160s together and move into the 150s together, would be good to have a partner in crime! hehehe

just keep swimming! thats a lovely photo in your avator! good luck with your weight loss!

Thanks, Echo! Wow, you are SUPER close to the 150s!

You're welcome justkeepswimming!

hehe yeh i hope i can break through it by monday! ive been stuck at 160 for a month! i want to get down to 156.5lbs before i feel ready to leave the 160s thread. because i keep thinking it wont be real and i will shoot up back to the 160s. so want a cushion of 4.5 lbs lol plus my manual scale is in kg. so that means i want to be at 71kg.

its funny, but i also have a digital scale, which i dont use as my offical weight, but go on it "just for fun" but its nuts, it gives me a different reading within minutes! drives me crazy. so i dont trust it at all. but its fun to just see what it says, and it always tells me i'm 2-3 lbs lighter than my manual scale!

hey girls, today my scale said 158.7lbs! i really hope i can maintain it for my mondays biggest loser weigh in! i havent had a loss for the challenge in 3 weeks. so i really need this for me and my team
plus i hope the loss is real ! i keep thinking its a trick lol


I just bought myself a heart rate monitor (polar f7f) i decided it is my present/reward to myself for getting to the 150s! ( i really hope i can maintain it).. i love the idea of rewarding yourself when you reach a mini goal i wanted to get one back in september, and been dreaming about it for months, but couldnt justify the cost and was in two minds about it.

but im so glad i waited, and now the watch will mean something to me and it will be a representation of the 15lbs i've lost so far and getting to the 150s. so i'm glad i treated myself!

if i am still 158.7lb by monday, then i will feel confident to leave this thread.

hope you girls are well!

Congrats, Echo!

I'm trying to only weigh once a week. It's SO HARD.

thanks justkeepswimming!

i know tell me about it! i'm kinda neurotic and weigh myself every morning, lol but i only officially weigh in and record my weight every monday morning.

i've learned to expect to see my weight go up and down by a pound or even a couple of pounds during the week, but i dont freak out anymore.

as i know the weight gain could be due to water retention if my muscles are sore after a hard workout, or food storage.

i like weighing myself every morning, helps me to keep on plan cause i know bad decisions today will affect my weigh in the next morning!

Thanks, Echo! I finally know what it feels like to be close to the 150s and boy do I like it! It would be awesome to move to the 150s together!

I weigh myself just as you do: Every morning! Since Wednesdays are official weigh ins for me that's the only one that counts but I like to see how my weight fluctuates throughout the week. For example, this past week was the first week I didn't touch 170 at all. I found that my weight is usually +/- 4lbs at any given time during the week. Good Luck on Monday!

Welcome, just keep swimming! I bet your stay here will be shorter than all the rest of us! What was it like in the 140s? I can't ever remember being that little.

I weighed in at 159 today, but I'm not leaving unless I'm still in the 150s next Saturday.

Kurri - I was in the 140s for like a week, so...

i am really sad to kick myself out of this thread and go back to the 170s.

I joined this a few days ago at 169 and now I am at 170.4lbs

Very unhappy to leave but I got to make myself pay for whtever fall out caused me to gain . Argh

aww sweettooth! why dont you stay, and give yourself a week to get back to 169 again! i'm sure you can do it ! i believe in always moving forwards! you can do it!!
besides you can not trust your weight just after a few days, it could just be water retention or undigested food!

i would give yourself at least a weekly weigh in to see how you are REALLY doing.

You're welcome KurLEQ!! hehe definately ! it would be awesome to break into the 150s together -- you're doing awesome, you're gonna hit the 150s in no time !

thanks babes! you too! good luck you are sooooooooo close! way to go!!

i hope Rains is doing okay.

that's awesome! congratulations!!

i know i'm the same, i dont feel its real and i always want a cushion of a few pounds before i feel ready to move on.

you are right. I think I can give myself another week to see where I stand. Plus a positive attitude may only help me shed those few ounces again to get back in the 160s.

Dang it those ounces are not leaving me. I feel it is because I am not exercising nearly enough. I just have to get over this feeling of procrastination and get myself on that treadmill. The moment i think about getting ready to go to the gym my mind goes -- 5 more min -- 5 more min. Let me just finish this --- and then the time is gone.
