    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!

  • 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!!

  • 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!

    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
