Hhm6: I totally understand cause I feel like I've been in the 170s forever too, but we will get to the 160s! I'm not doing anything special though--just watching what I eat, limiting processed carbs, and walking about 5x a week. I am trying to lose how I want to live because previously I've always gained everything back I've lost on "diets." I know they work for lots of people, but not me.
Oh same here! I am doing a "diet" now but it's much more lax and the hardest part is over (my cravings for carbs are gone) but I feel like even the healthy eating just isn't enough or I'm expecting big results too quickly (which is most likely true!)
I can't wait until the 160s! specifically 165 bc that is my lowest weight I have recorded on a document (driver's license when I was 16!)
Can I just say how much I love our "getting to ___" threads???! seriously I feel like I have a little family on here that keeps me going!

It was also really important for me to do a diet I could stick with for life. I'm doing Weight Watchers and it doesn't feel like a diet to me since there are no food restrictions.

I want to get to 160 so bad! It's my pre-pregnancy weigh (1st pregnancy).
I'm not sure what's happening to my body but I'll take it. After being stuck on a plateau for the past month, I've been losing everyday this week. I was 173.6 on Monday, 172.6 on Tuesday, 172 on Wednesday and 171.8 this morning! I hope the number stays this good on my official weigh-in on Monday!

Nice!! So weird how our bodies work! I actually really want to a 2+lb whoosh to happen, I have yet to experience one
Also, I think I need to go buy a digital scale, I feel like I have been eyeballing my weight with my regular one and sometimes the ticker isn't even stable at zero!

I saw 172.1 this morning, ladies! WOOO!!! That's down 0.6 so far this week. I am getting excited for these 170's to be gone!!
I am finally back on the boards and back on track after a four day vacation with my sister. The good news: we had a great time in and around Boston. The bad news: the scales tell me I'm back to where I started at the beginning of May. I so didn't want to weigh myself this morning. But I told myself if you don't you won't be accountable for the choices (good and bad) that you made. I am eager to see the 2 pounds that I gained come off. I even ramped up the exercise today to help the process. Here's to being back on track and moving towards that 169.9
From what I see so many of you are so so close to the next decade. SO excited for you all and am cheering you on from Boston!!
Suds: Welcome back! We're flying to Boston in July for a family vacation. What is a can't-miss?
I was at 170.6 this morning! We are all getting so close. I can't wait to see 16_._!! I'm having a huge graduation party for my DD tomorrow though, so I may have a liitle setback getting there.
Good morning all! I saw 171.8 on my official weigh in today, which is 1.1 lb loss this week. My scale is driving me nuts because a few moments later, AFTER I used the loo, It said 173.0. I have a digital weight watchers scale and this old house just drives me nuts. BUT I saw it...so it counts!
Ugh guys I feel terrible! I ate way too much last night and all the wrong things! I just wanted to feel normal, but normal for me is clearly bad as it took me to 265 lbs
We stayed at the hotel so I'll weigh again tomorrow morning but I am terrified. Getting back on plan and drinking a ton of water today.
Hey Underwater, IT WAS ONE NIGHT! I think it's GREAT that you know you can't do that every night, as our old habits got us where we were, but you also don't have to let it ruin your night out I think this whole process changes our perceived notion of what 'normal' is. 'Normal' used to be 2 pints of ice cream after a tough day, but not anymore!
Also, remember that we need to be stricter in weight loss mode than in maintenance. I'll have at least 600 more calories to play with in maintenance and maybe you can find a balance that way?
But, either way, that scale may show water weight. It's okay to indulge every now and then! Think of the deficits you made all week- no way you will have gained, unless you ate more than 3500 (plus evened out your deficits all week).
I saw 170 and then went out to dinner and ate so much, and of the bad stuff, ate cake too. I feel awful and I was up to 172 today
hopefully a good portion is water weight?! I'm hoping it is because I really don't want to go back up!! But Northernchick is right! It's one night and we're aware of what we did, we can get through it!!
I am both so sad and so pumped to post this : 169.7 today, ladies!!1
I am sad because I love this thread, but I also know we are all marching into the 160's together! Come with me!!!!! I need you!!
I don't really see a 160's thread out there in the Weight Loss Support forum. There is a 150's one on the 2nd or 3 rd page and a 170/160/150 one that looks a little empty on like the 4th page. Should I start a 160's one for us?!

Yayy!!! You are doing so great!! I think you and rubidoux need a new thread since you're both in the 160s!!
Back at 172 again today, not sure why? I know for a fact I didn't consume that much but hopefully it goes down, I had a rough weekend but hoping this week puts me back on track!
170.6 today so I'm still here trying to work off this sodium weight from the wedding... feeling frustrated and depressed. How could I have let this happen?

Underwater- you're going to get that sodium weight off in no time!! I'm carrying what I think is water weight too right now, which is really awful bc I was 170 this past Friday. But don't worry you are completely capable of getting back on the road!
You're so close to goal and look at the progress you have made! We're rooting for you!!
