  • 160 today! I'll be joining you in the 50's thread soon rschroed! And congrats!
  • Joining in- 166, I'm giving myself the deadline of Oct. 1 to be out of the 160's. I was at 150 earlier this year but the loss was due to stress not good ole diet and exercise so I will be happy when I get there the "right" way. It seems so far away but I was there not long ago!
  • okay, I weighed myself "properly" this morning but with my PJs still on.

    1 6 0 even.

    which I've stayed in the area somewhat consistently the last few days. I'm excited because 2 weeks ago I was more consistently at 164!

    Almost out of here, maybe in another week or two I'll consistently be in the 150s!

    Looks like you're about to be getting a pedi soon girl!
  • I must have been retaining water for my weight to not change for the last two weeks, then yesterday I had a big woosh and today I did too!

    158.4! Gotta wait and see if this is real before I leave though
  • 159! YAYYYY! Never been in 50's during my teen/adult life!

    See you girls in the next thread!
  • AGH! I forgot to weigh properly this morning. Does anyone else have this discipline problem? Like I weigh myself every day but doing it EVERY morning before breakfast is like something I can't remember to do!!!
  • 161.2 this morning. Maybe I'll be out of the 160's sooner than I thought. Then again, I never thought I'd be BACK in the 160's, so it's only fair that I zoom out of them back into the 150's.

    Hope everybody is having a good weekend!
  • boots, when I wake up the first thing I do is strip down and weigh myself. Then I pee and weigh myself again, then I go about my morning business

    Just do it first thing you get up, a habit takes about 6 weeks to form so it will take a bit to get used to it.
  • I did it today!

    I saw 158, this will be the second time I've seen in the 150s.

    I think my water-weight fluctuates really badly, I'm still nursing the baby and stuff so I wonder if thats part of it. I dunno. Like I saw 164 yesterday afternoon again. But this morning I did the "pee, strip, weigh" and I saw 158. So I'm totally going with that one and not weighing again til tomorrow morning.

    And yeah, Steph, I need to develop a routine /facepalm
  • I am up in weight again. Not sure what I am doing wrong!! back to 169. I see Im going to be with you guys for some time!!
  • I'll still be around a bit that 158.4 got obliterated by the weekend. I don't normally get weekends off, and because my fiance is home we both kind lazed and ate badly. And it was my grandma/aunt's/cousin's birthday and food got shoved at us. Then a friend who has a gluten intolerance just like I do brought over gluten free brownies that his girlfriend made for him.

    This week is all about getting back on track, upping protein and lowering carbs to get a better balance. And still folowing new rules of lifting!
  • 164 this morning! Hopefully I will be gone long before my deadline!
  • My weight and I are not talking. I am refusing to acknowledge it until it starts being more reasonable, haha.

    So I just realized why my weight shot up, TOM is right near and coupled with the salty food and too much caffeine I had on the weekend it caused me to add on 5 pounds of bloat. I am not kidding. That is the most I've ever gone up in two days.

    So I'm just eating right and working out and waiting for it to pass. I refuse to accept this 162 the scale gave me this morning, and the 163 it gave me yesterday.

  • I don't have access to a scale and probably won't for a week; but I'm pretty convinced I'd be back here, too, Stephanie, after this weekend. Lovely wedding of dear friends--who should NEVER have sent us eight of us home to the after-party with most of a gourmet chocolate cake. What a disaster. A disaster on top of all the hors d'oeuvers and dinner rolls and cheese-laden pasta/veggie salads (not to mention glass after glass of wine, lemonade, iced tea, did I mention wine) I'd already eaten, which was capped by getting up the next morning for a thousand-calorie fried breakfast (they even fried my bran muffin!)

    My sort-of-snug jeans size 10 jeans became oh-my-god-these-are-tight jeans, all at once.

    Luckily, I have a reprieve for a week until I have to weigh in.

    Back to basics with me, too: get to the gym or go running 4-5 times this week, get enough protein and cut out bad carbs. Oh, yeah, and *actually practice* portion control...
