Hi there! Can I join this thread? I am 178 and hoping to be out of the 170's by jan 1.

Hoping to join the thread soon! Have worked my way out of the 200s and 190s. Am at 189ish for two days in a row. May be a longer ride in the 180s due to Christmas, but am hoping to be in this thread within a few months!

Good job VickieLou. Youre making good progress.

Welcome Eloragrace.

eAnna hopefully it wont be long before youre out of the 180's.




Christmas can be tuff with all those Christmas cookies calling our names. How well I know. Every year I make holiday gift baskets for shut ins and others. I am known for my tasty cookies and cakes. This year I am only making cakes. No cookies. There has been much grousing and whining from the housemate. Sorry. I am not going to spend weeks making tons of cookies that I cant eat. And we all know that if theyre here I WILL eat them. I just got my weight back down and I don't need to be tempted. Besides he doesn't need them. He is 150+ overweight and has Diabetes and CHF and a host of other ailments.

Restarted my weight loss in mid Oct 2019 after my honeymoon.

SW: 195 lbs.
CW: 172.2 lbs.

Can't wait to be out of the 170s! I'm already wearing clothes I haven't fit into in years!

Ive been managing to stay in the 170's so far. Just barely. If I relax on the calorie counting at all it creeps up. Then I buckle down it goes down. Rinse Repeat. Today it was 179.2. Looks like tomorrow will be a low cal day. I dont want to be back in the 180's . Again. AAACK

Anybody else struggling to maintain.

I know it says 173.4 for current weight but I just cant bring myself to change it. Maybe tomorrow the scale will say something nicer.
