So I snuck a peek at the scale today since I wasn't feeling sore anymore this morning. I wanted to see if my water retention theory held any water (pardon the pun, lol). To my pleasant surprise, I saw 179.9!

I have moved my ticker to 180 and will keep my fingers crossed for another 170-something reading for my official WI day next Friday. I think this may just keep me motivated enough to stay OP this weekend!

The scale told me 182.8 this morning. Please, please, please, let this be true!

I haven't posted in this thread in a while. After an incredibly long time in the 180's, went from 182.5 to 181.5 to 180 in three days. I'm sure I'll bounce around here (I always bounce around) but I'm excited. I can't remember when I was last below 182.5!!!! And I can smell the 170's.

I was at 183.3 this morning. I am happy!

I am leaving early tomorrow morning, so I probably won't be here too often checking in with you guys... we will see how this goes, I'll check in next Saturday. I will be fine avoiding food, it's the cocktails that will get me while I'm at the beach!

Congrats, Northern!! I hope you're not here next week when I get back, I hope you're in the 170s thread!

Hi Everyone - just passing through. Hope you are all having a great weekend OP of course, right? I'm tryin', I'm tryin' Later.

Hi everyone!

Northern ~ It rocks that you saw 179.9!!! Good for you!! I've seen 181 and 180.8, so I am going to bust my a$$ this week for my WI on Friday and just hope for the best!

Thaisccs ~ If you saw it on the scale, then it's true! Good for you!

WebRover~ You are so close to the 170s...you'll be there in no time!

Hokie ~ Enjoy your trip!!

Laffalot ~ Hope you are having a nice weekend...it's almost over already...it goes by too quickly, right?!

Happy Monday, ladies!

Thaisccs: Way to get the scale moving again! Leave that plateau in the rear view and keep up the good work!

WebRover: I too, can smell the 170's! Let's do this!!

Thanks, Hokie! I hope to be outta here after Friday's WI too If I'm lucky enough to be the next one to go, I'm thinking of starting a 170's thread in this part of 3FC. I know there are a couple of other random ones out there (i.e., the 20-somethings), but I'd kinda like to keep our little group together (Not to mention I'm not exactly a 20-something anymore, lol.) Have a great time at the beach!!

Laffalot: My weekend was actually pretty well OP! I allow two higher calorie days per week but try to keep them around 1800 (check.) I also got in a 20 minute workout on both Saturday and Sunday. Not as long as a normal workout for me, but I was happy with myself for not totally slacking Hope yours was good as well!

Emme: I SO hope you bust through this Friday!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing great. My weight this morning was 181.4 and for the past few Tuesdays my weight has been between 182 and 181...I'm really hoping it starts to go down! It seems like some numbers just fly by (like 183...I didn't really see too much of that number, or at least not enough to affect me), but the 181 and 182 sure like to stick around!! Have a great OP day!

Hi girls! Hope you all are having a good week so far.

TOM is here so I can expect to stay right where I am for the next week or so. I'm not even weighing because it frustrates me so much.

I did go for a run last night after not working out for 4 days (lethargy from PMS). Boy did I feel the strain of resting my body for too long.

Stuck in the 180s

Northern ~ Yes, please start a new 170s thread when you are ready! That would be awesome.

Novelista ~ Ugh...PMS and TOM...it's never fun. At least you got up and around.

KaeBae ~ Welcome to the thread! You mentioned that you are stuck...what is your eating plan like? Exercise plan?

Thanks Emme and Northern! You are such wonderful support!

I love the scale after coming home from the gym! I know it's not necessarily at its most accurate (all that sweat!) but it's a huge encouragement. I got home from the gym, stepped on it and saw a 181.3 flash happily at me!

I hope this keeps going for some time, to rid myself from the frustration!

Bounced between 181 and 180.5 this morning. Either one is GREAT.

My pants are baggy baggy in the thighs and seat. I just tried a couple dresses and the 14s fit. Need to look in the back of the closet for size 14s, but I think any I find thre are hopeless out of style. Woo Hoo.

Thaisccs ~ Wow, that is awesome!! You are getting very, very close, girl! Keep up the great work.

WebRover ~ You never know what still might be in style!! LOL!! I love going through my closet and trying on things that I've kept from my smaller days. It's a big confidence booster.

Hope everyone else in the 180s is doing great...Happy Hump Day!

Morning everyone! Just a quick flyby here. Big CONGRATUALTIONS to all that have lost! My WI on Tues wasn't so good - up a lb My own darn fault though. So I'm more diligent. We are having a beautiful sunny day today although it is quite chilly for this time of the year. But soooo much better than when I looked out the window on Mon. am & saw about 3" of snow! Not impressed! BFN
