The 170s are my freaking nemesis.

I did it. Goodbye people: I weighed in at 169.0 this morning. Wot wot wot???
Adios compadres! See ya at the other side. :cp::cp::cp::cp::cp::cp:

Congrats Thirti4thirty!! I'm so happy for you!! Hope to see you soon in the 160's!

I've been feeling good these past few days - for whatever reason, I feel like my motivation to stay on track has finally returned to me! And I'm super happy! I am going to try to focus on this feeling that I am doing well, and whatever happens with the scale happens!!

Cheers!

173.8 ! almost out of here !! pray the 3.8 goes away fast :) Keep it up ladies!!! :hug:

One month on and I'm still here, plodding away slowly but surely. I have to keep reminding myself that there are loads of others out there wishing they were our "small" size. A couple more weeks, and I'll be onto the next weight decade.

I'm having a weird day. My weight's gone up (water fluctuations for sure) but I still haven't seen 174. I just feel like I'm not doing anything to actively change my weight at this point. I'm in this weird limbo.

I'm still plodding along, but we fell to page two. C'mon 170's out there get posting:^:

I'm still here ;) and up for chatting! I am finding that the 170s are not a well populated bracket for whatever reason...unfortunately, it's exactly where my body likes to be and the very place I am trying to flee!!!!

Still here
 

Hi,

I've been bad about posting as well... lol I've been here for 4 months now... so to everyone else, do not follow my example!! haha

I still have weight loss on my mind, and still dream of hitting my goal. My weight loss clinic is pushing me to consider stopping where I am at and move on to a stabilization and maintenance phase... I've been avoiding them the past two weeks. It has been a year since I started this weight loss journey, and I know it shouldn't feel like work, and most of the time it doesn't. But since I have flat lined, it has felt like work. I've lost my excitement and enthusiasm that came from seeing the numbers drop and having to buy new clothes because I couldn't fit in the pair I just bought a couple weeks earlier...

So what I am going to do? That is what I have been thinking about a lot lately. I am taking an inventory of what I was doing when the weight was coming off, and one thing sticks out in my mind: running outside to my favorite music. It's not so much that I think the extra burning calories contributed to my weight loss, but the fact that getting outside and pushing myself farther each day did wonders for my confidence. Each day I could compare how I was feeling to the last time by running to the park bench, than the bridge than that birdhouse that I didn't even see on the horizon when I first went outside. I miss that. I feel like I am waiting for the warm weather to return. This morning was -12 (Celsius) and there is still snow on the ground. Realistically, it will not be warm enough at night to go for a run until May.. and that's being optimistic.

So... again, I ask myself the question -- what am I going to do. Well, this is what I am going to do. I am going to set a deadline for myself. My deadline is September 15th, 2014. Whatever weight I am on that day will be my goal weight. I am happy where I am today... but obviously I would love to at least be in the healthy BMI range, and look a little better in a bikini... lol but I am healthy. Considerably more healthy than I was 1 year ago today. So from here on out, my weight loss is bonus weight loss.

Now that it's posted on 3fc I feel like my decision is more permanent!! lol! Lets see what happens...

Sorry I haven't been here much lately, I'm almost out!! 171.0 :)

Well, I'm almost out of here. I was hoping it would be this week, but no such luck (?!) Anyway, this thread deserves to be closer to the front. I've found the 170's a little difficult to get out of, I think it's probably a rough patch for all us long term dieters, and (perhaps) needs special attention, as for a lot of us the lbs. stop melting off, and things become a bit of a slog. :(

Ugh. Haven't lost a pound since November. Working out like crazy though so I can tell my body is changing ... my clothes are baggy.

I've let the diet go a bit as I move forward on the exercise. But now I am ready to go at it again. I will run better if I can lose more of this weight.

Is this the most recent 170s thread? Or is there another one? Where are all the 170s chicks hangin' out?

Novus - if you are in your 30s, there is a 170s thread for 30-somethings. :) That one is pretty active.

I weighted 174.2 today. So very excited!

I'm not. I guess I'll just wait until I hit the 160s. Thanks! :)
