Way to go!

Yay, I've made it into the 150s... again. Let's hope that this time I go forwards and not backwards.

You've got this! Love your Avatar, by the way. The Little Mermaid was my favorite when I was a child.

Thanks. I'm sure this time I will get there definitely. The little Mermaid was my favourite too - it still is, actually.

Hello ladies!! I am back from visiting my husband and our European vacation and I lost 2 pounds while there!! Thank you walking! ) I think when I reach my goal Ill re-evalute down to 130-125

I'm stuck at 154 right now. Scale won't budge!

Ah well, I'm sure it will eventually

Wow! congrats!!

sontaikle - thank you!! ) Im very excited about the loss ) You know..I was stuck at 153-154 for the LONGEST time (probably about 6 months) but it budged eventually and once I broke through the plateu it started coming off so much easier. Hang in there

I would love to say goodbye to the 150s! This thread has been going strong for a couple months now, and I am thankful for it. I forsee that one day I will be in my 140s, I guess I just have to imagine it, with me in a bikini, looking so good, and feeling so healthy.

It's a long road until I get there, but I am sure that I will. I am working on running my 3rd half marathon in October, so maybe one day I can tell you ladies that I can join your club!

Wow! That's impressive! I'm happy if I maintain on a trip, lol.

So, I weighed in today. 152.8. I lost 1 pound from last Friday. BUT it feels like such a small loss compared to the weeks before. I haven't lost this little since the week after my trip to Cedar Point, when I lost .6. I know a loss is a loss, and I'm so happy I didn't gain. But I still wish it had been more.

However! I'm not going to let this bring me down. I've thought about what I did over the last week to cause a slower loss than previous weeks. 1) I'm in limbo about my next goal, which means I wasn't working quite as hard. 2) I skipped the gym THREE times, whereas I usually only have one rest day. I let school and work overtake me, when I should have made myself go anyway. I've just been so dang exhausted! 3) While I ate within my "losing calories," some of the foods I indulged in weren't so healthy this week. For instance, I had 3 fudge rounds, 2 cinnamon crunch bagels (for lunch each time, so these weren't exactly treats), and a bag of fun size peanut M&Ms. So, basically, every day after Friday's weigh-in, I had a high calorie (or in the case of the M&Ms, not too high) sweet food that I normally wouldn't have eaten.

There is a silver lining, of course. I still lost a pound while eating these foods. It's great to know that indulging once in a while won't kill me in maintenance.

But I've decided that I need to pick a goal and stick with the program until I reach it. No more dilly dallying. So, I'm going to work on that this weekend. I'm also going to limit my sweet indulgences as much as possible. Though I'm not into deprivation, there's a big different between deprivation and indulging every. single. day.

I hit 152 today! I think (just like every other time before) my body holds onto weight for a while and then lets it all off at once. I seem to stall every 5-6 pounds or so for 9 or 10 days before whooshing down.


Katie - congrats on the loss! You're so close to your goal! I know how difficult it is to resist, but you've found out that you CAN indulge while staying on plan...and I think it's incredibly important for maintenance.

Ahhh Ive been having such a tough day at work today..the boss is out and everyone decided to bring in goodies. Theres vietnamese pork buns (boa), quiche, donuts, coffee, chips and salsa! I admit it, I had the pork bun and chips and salsa and I felt so horrible for it. So for lunch I just had my banana and green tea.....hopefully that balances out my big breakfast. Kinda proud for staying away from the donuts though! )

I'm so proud of you all! I've been 155 plus or minus 2lb for a few months now. Should I... should I just run a lot this week and eat my veggies? I've actually never been less than 150 for longer than a few days LOL (back in 2008). Pretty envious of you guys stuck in your low 150s, very inspiring

So I hit 150 recently. Can't wait to get into the 140s! I think the last time I was there was in elementary school!

Hey everyone!
Just jumping in
I weighted in at 144 this morning, would love love love to see the 130's before Thanksgiving. Keep up the good work!
