  • Well ... not much movement up or down! But feeling invigorated this week .... a new programme at the gym ...

    How's everyone else doing?
  • Hi everyone! I am so excited to join you here! The 180s stuck around WAY too long. Here's to hoping my stay here will be shorter.
  • I have been going back and forth between 169.5 and 170 for 2 weeks now,
    I feel like smacking my head with the scale to be quite honest.. lol

    I mean I LOOK BETTER. My pants are falling off, my stomach is flattening out like crazy but yet, that stupid scale wont budge...

    Sucks.
  • I am still stuck. Didnt even weigh myself this morning because I am so tired of seeing one or two pounds gone only to see them reappear again. At this point I think I am just going to keep plugging away and sticking to my plan and only weighing when I feel the need. Otherwise I just keep getting bummed out!

    Sucks.
    Maybe you're putting on muscle while you're losing fat.
  • Back from HOLIDAYS and I was 176 this AM. So major victory!! I did not gain a single pound while I was gone.
  • Me!! I have been stuck in the 170s for several months now. I'm at 172. I am still amazed that I see a "1" in front, lol, but would really like to see a lower second number!
  • I have a big reward waiting for me at 169.9 ... it's my WW 10 percent *and* I get those lovely earrings I have in my avatar.

    Despite eating and drinking everything in sight for my first anniversary last weekend, I dropped 1.6. So am currently at 173.6 .... just 3.7 more lbs! I can't wait.
  • I've been on a nice whoosh lately and hit 175 this morning! YAY! That is officially my halfway point. Last year I lost down to 185 and then gained back to 215, so this year's loss is 40lbs, not 50 but I am keeping a cumulative total since I've been on 3FC. I am very psyched about seeing this progress. I know I will NEVER go back to where I was. It's not worth it.
  • Nice losses guys ...

    Me I'm battling to stay in the 170s ....

    I got snowed in for two days after flying in for a 3 hour meeting and totally lost the plot foodwise!!
  • 173!!!!
  • Anyone else still hanging out in the 170's? The 180's were very reluctant to let me go, but then I've experienced a wonderful whoosh and am already down to 176. 4 more pounds and I will have lost 1/2 of myself!

    I went shopping last week and bought a skirt - size LARGE. Yes, you heard me right - not 4X, not even 2X or XL. It was a large - bought on the "normal" not plus side of Fashion Bug. It was almost surreal.
  • The 170's feel like high school...just never ending and really awkward.

    I was in the 160's for a bit and did weigh-in at 167.2 at my WW meeting, but I'm not going to go in search of the 160's forum yet because I feel like if I drink a glass of water I'll get ousted from the group! I've lost and gained the same 10lbs (between 165 and 175) so many times over the last year. And I've been working at it.

    Any advice for lengthy plateaus?
  • Hi everyone

    So I'm just starting out from around 170 (we do kilograms here, so the lb thing is new to me!). I've been trying to just eat more healthily the last few weeks to get some of these pounds off, but it doesn't seem to be working, so I'll have to try something a bit more drastic. I hate that all my bras are too tight!! Hoping to stop popping out soon!
  • First post in the 170's for me. I'm at 175.4 this morning, and am so eager to get out of the 170's and on to 169- the weight I need to be at a normal BMI. Hoping my stay here is short, as is everyone else's.
