172.6 today. I'm grateful. Perseverance pays. Imma be changing decades pretty soon.:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

171 today!!!!! I'm so excited!! I could almost *feel* it today, my stomach seemed more flat (still not flat by any means!) but def smaller, ahh!!

I hope it sticks around tomorrow because then I get to change my ticker!!!

170 today! Can't wait to see you all in the 160s!

Wow, so many of you are closing in on the 160s! Congrats! The 170s are **** for me.

Gymrat- the 170s seriously kicked my butt!!! I'm so over them!! I still don't know if i'm going to leave it soon, I ALWAYS get close and them BAM it shoots up. I hope it doesn't this time though.

Good luck everyone!!! as long as it's not a gain it's good news to me :carrot:

This morning I weighed in at 173.9..this is the lowest that I've been since having children 18 years ago.. Before I had my son I weighed between 130-140..after he was born, my lowest was 175 my highest was 206..I'm excited..

Omg that's so exciting gtee!!! 160 is my lowest recorded weight (when I was 16 and got my driver's license!) so I can't weight to be less than that!!

I was 171 again today, so I'm finally going to change my ticker!! Can't wait to be out of the 170s, they have NOT been good to me!

:bravo::bravo::bravo: qtee. You did a tremendous job!!

172.4 today, despite TOM. BLISS!

When one door closes another one opens .... I finally dared to cruise this thread as I weighed in this morning at 179 :-) Looks like as all of your graduates move on, I am settling in for a nice visit :)

Congrats to everyone who has found so much success here! I look forward to passing through!

OMG, 170 today!!! Praying it sticks around tomorrow. I'm a little sniffly so I don't think I can get in my usual workout routine, but hopefully a short walk or something!!

Congrats and welcome!!!

hhm6 You're leaving our circle soon. Congrats on that!!!

Today it's a whooping 171.9 for ME (With TOM still in!)! YAY!!!:yay::yay::yay:

177 ... so close to my next milestone of out of obese. But I am running now, more each week, and I think I am putting on some muscle. I am aso ifting weights, doing yoga, and other workout classes. I definitely look more toned ... even if the scale is moving slowly these days.

That's wonderful Tefrey! I'm excited to get out of "obese" range too. I have started lifting weights and am curious how you are liking yoga? Every time I have tried it I feel my bulk gets in the way of fully participating. My stomach, specifically. But then I see people I know talking about going to yoga and they are bigger so wth is my problem? LOL Pilates was fun and kicked my butt back in the day.


Eta my update! I saw 175 again but am 176.6 today. I looked over my weight loss history and am averaging 10 pounds every THREE months. Painfully slow but consistent. I finally started the weight lifting I had been thinking about for months, two weeks ago. Too soon to see if weight loss speeds up as a result. Fingers crossed!

170 again today!!! I haven't been this weight since the end of last year!! I've got a nasty cold though, so no exercise until then, have to be really careful with calories.

Thanks thirty!!!! The 170s have NOT been nice to me, so I will really thankful if I get it off soon!

Checking In
 

Hi all,

I started the insanity workout program last Saturday and today is my first rest day. I am so proud that I finished the first week of training and I didn't skip a beat. I really enjoy the workouts because I can do them at home and they are not too too bad. I've done my fair share of circuit training, and I must admit that I really do like the insanity workouts, the time seems to fly by.

So, since I've been rocking the workouts, I convinced myself that it would be ok to eat off program... I had cookies, pizza, ribs, chocolate bars, a big cinnamon bun, a piece of fatty bacon and the list goes on... now that I am typing all the bad food I ate in the last week, I really feel embarrassed by how much I went overboard.

So you are probably wondering what my weigh-in on Wednesday was like.... I went up 4 lbs... :( I was devastated. I heard somewhere that loosing weight is 70% what you eat, 20% how much exercise you do, and 10% genetics...
I learned my lesson the hard way. I started a 2 day kick start program yesterday and will be weighing in again tonight.

I want my work-outs to count for something... I want them to complement my diet and bring me strength. I am determined to finish the insanity program, and I need to find the same determination to eat on program. I hope that the 4 lb jump in the scale will always be in the back of my mind as a reminder.

... Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)
