I looked back a few pages and I didn’t see a 140’s thread so I figured I’d start a new one. I am hoping to be here in the next couple days (150.2 today) and want a new home to come to!

149.6

Well. I'm here. Barely. But here. Anyone else coming to join me? I'm kinda lonely.

Congrats ShaIAm! I hope to be here next week, weighed in at 150 today, official weigh in is tomorrow though, hope it goes down not up!

ShanIAm! You crossed over! Congrats!!
153.5 for me today...hoping to lose 4 pounds in 7 days. Wish me luck! (Today is day 1).

Yup, finally crossed over. And I am anxiously awaiting your arrival here! I look everyday to find you. And I KNOW that it is going to be very soon!

I'm joining you! Sadly, I've backslid to the point that I'm 148 (a high since I started) and getting a little freaked out that I've let anxiety cause that much damage. So I'm back in control, hopefully.

I'm gonna be here soon! Thanks for the kind wishes! I CAN DO THIS!

OK, I'm at day 5 of strictly on-plan eating and solid exercise every day. My short-term goal is to keep this up until my birthday in 3 weeks. I'll weigh in weekly but the plan will not change regardless of weight. Somehow I find that comforting - maybe that's what I should have started with, instead of thinking "I'll weigh once weekly and base my next week's plan on that". It was too much pressure on the weekly weigh ins and they started to have too much impact on my mood.

JayZeeJay -- I am guilty of letting the scale dictate my mood AND my diet/exercise plans for the next week. I'm afraid of either becoming complacent or overdoing it. I haven't been able to break the habit though. I am still putting that pressure on myself. Last week was especially difficult as I had 2 dinner dates and 1 lunch date with friends. And at one place you had NO CHOICE but to eat badly. Well, kinda. It was a fondue place and because there were 12 of us, the menu was preplanned. Cheese and chocholate. How was I not going to dip my strawberry into the chocholate? I ask you that!! LOL

But I'm still holding at 148. No gain. No loss. But that's OK. But I do find myself planning my week of food and exercise and kicking it up a notch.

Congrats to you for sticking to your plan for 5 days in a row. For some people that seems like nothing but for you and I, it's such an accomlishment!!

Glad you are here keeping me company!

ShanIAm: chocolate fondue, are you kidding? They would have had to pry the pot off my head when I was done licking it.

I was at 147.5 as of Saturday. I was 150.2 when I weighed myself a week prior so I was so I am so happy to be in the 140 club

I will likely be here a while, but I am indeed here!

OMG! That's hilarious!!

Skinny....so glad you came and joined the party and congratulations on such a wonderful loss in that amount of time!! That's so great!!

Eliana....I was thinking the same thing this morning. I am down a little over a pound from last week (147.4) so that puts me in the 140's "comfort zone". But speaking of comfort, I will be here for a while too! But I'm ok with that as long as the numbers keep going DOWN!

I ordered us all a couch.

LOL!

I'm happy too, and I'm even happy with the numbers staying exactly the same. Good thing too!

I went to a concert with a friend last night and got off plan. I ate about a dozen tortilla chips, 4 of which had beans and cheese on them. I also had a "small" (according to the bar, yeah right!) margarita, then a vodka and grapefruit later that night. Darn!
The thing is, we'd planned this months in advance so although I feel a little bad about the indulging, I should feel worse. But I don't! I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
