Saw 173.8 on the scale this morning. Yesterday was a hugely stressful day and I didn't have a chance to eat much. Then I made pancakes for the youth group last night. Lots of pancakes LOL, man can those kids eat!! Since I don't eat gluten that wasn't too much a temptation for me,I made a flax meal pancake for me and it was fine. I expect it will bounce back up a little but I seem to be moving a little again after 3 months of bouncing from 176 to 180 and back.

Hey Ladies! ;)
Kicking my butt back into gear this weekend. Giving myself an easy goal of 165 by the month's end, would love to 160 but :no:--not gonna happen. But that is fine with me :). I took a picture for my work badge and was sincerely surprised at how thin I looked. I even got home and took out my old IDs of fat me, compared and realized that I recognize myself as none of those girls. I don't recall looking in the mirror and seeing a girl that was ever that fat, and I don't see a girl in the mirror now that is that thin either. Makes me realize that my perception of myself was way worse than I first ever imagined :rolleyes:. Marina Brasil Yes! At least the 180's are behind us! We are never going back! :lol: Rather maintain than gain Frances123 When you get your kick in the butt, give me one too! :D I probably need a re-dedication moment. I will start fresh this coming Monday! I think I am going to mix things up a bit and stop being so all or nothing! This is my last 20lbs, and I feel like I am at another peak of my roller coaster ride and all I want to do is ride all the way down screaming at the top of my lungs--but somebody keeps putting the brakes on :fr:. lotsakids You are doing amazingly well. I too remember when you were once complaining that you could not stay out of the 180's and here you are with weigh-ins at the low end of this decade. Congratulations! :yay: |
I just want to say that after several months of being in the 170's, going back up into the 180's for a few weeks, back down to 170's again---I weighed in this morning at 169.5.

MarliQQ - three cheers for rededication! :cheer2: And that's great about your ID badge. Looking at old vs. new pictures is such a great NSV! You'll be in the 160s before you know it. Look how far you've come! :D
Seaurchin - CONGRATS on hitting a new decade! Hope to see you in the 160 thread soon! :D I'm a little closer than I thought. I wasn't supposed to weigh (ahem) but couldn't resist. Saw 176 on the scale this morning, but it settled on 177. I don't mind. I'm movin' on down. :carrot: Lotsakids - your loss is nice and steady! You'll be in the 160s before you know it, stressful times and all! I've never tried flaxseed pancakes. I had a recipe a long time ago (oats, flour, a bit of sugar, salt, oil, and honey, tossed in the freezer and metered out a half cup at a time with a bit of yogurt to make single-servings of pancakes) but truthfully it's the syrup and not the pancakes which is my downfall. :dizzy: Here's to a good month for us! We're moving into the 'danger time' (Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas-NewYears) but we've all worked hard and have to tools in place to be successful. Can't wait to see how great we have done by the end of 2014! |
Hey Ladies! :hug:
My first peek at 160's. weighed in at 169 today :woohoo:, and I have no idea why--since I have been slacking on most everything! But I'll take it. seaurchin Congrats! Progress feels good doesn't it? ;) Frances123 Look at you sliding down the decade :cheer:! I have no idea how I am going to do during the eating season, but I sure hope we try and keep each other motivated and accountable. Last year I recall losing a bunch of soldiers on 3FC threads I participated in around Thanksgiving 2013 :lol:. That food starts to pound on our inner fat girls' doors--and boy is she hospitable!!! |
I think I'm skipping Thanksgiving this year LOL. I'm going on a snowboarding trip during Christmas break and i can just imagine how round I'm going to look in ski pants. I'm hoping to drop another 20 lbs by mid-Dec so that I don't come off the mountain looking like Frosty!
|
seaurchin :lol: Well if that is how you believe you will feel, I am rooting for the absence of Frosty as well!
|
Wow, great job, you guys! MarliQQ - hitting the 160s! :carrot: You're almost at G - O - A - L!! Less than 20 pounds, right? (Can't see your ticker in this screen!)
I went down almost a pound in the past 2 days...just an ounce or two from 176! But now I'm all swollen with PMS and might not weigh until things even out. |
And i'm back to 174.1 Yay!
We don't have Thanksgiving and Halloween here, but we have Children's day in october (huge in my family) and in november DP and I always go to the beach for maybe 5 or 6 days and have a romantic getaway. I am one of those people who loves Xmas and does a lot of charity so i start organizing my activities now or else i'll go crazy in december. What makes oct-nov-dec so hard for me are all the office parties, food gifts i receive and changes in the routine. December is the hardest! We should have a support group for the holidays! |

MarinaBrasil - that's great about you movin' on down! :D December IS the hardest month, I think! I don't work in an office with the normal temptations, but my husband and I stay with his family over the holidays. That means being away from my trusty smoothie blender, my weird specialized food, and my routine in general. I don't like big gatherings in general and I always stress-eat. I'm going to try to make a new plan this year!
Huge NSV for me! #1: I did hit 176 today. #2: I'm a knitter. Years ago I knitted myself a "goal weight cardigan" for the "someday" when I'd be a M/L. I spent an absolute fortune on the yarn and buttons. I knitted it and then put it away. Well, I tried it on just now, and...IT FITS!!!!! I never truly believed that I'd be able to fit into it. I'm just so happy! |
Frances, you look great! If i didn't know your goal is 165 i'd think you're at your normal weight. I still have 44.5 lbs to go and i love seeing pictures from other members, they are really motivating!
|
Frances123 Yeah I kind of forgot about updating my ticker, but I am going to leave it at 170 instead of 169, because I am doing this back and forth between 170 and 169. I don't think my body believes that I deserve 160's yet :D. Which is probably true, because I don't feel like I worked for it, feel like I am maintaining instead :cool:.
Congrats on the NSV! :yay: I wish I could knit! And you look great hun! Marina Brasil We probably do need a support group! :lol: The holidays are a SOB! My coworkers are already talking about Halloween parties and chocolate!!!! It's beginning :fr:! |
Thanks, MarinaBrasil! My crazy exercise schedule helps me fit into smaller clothes even at a larger weight. I feel really good about where I am right now! Of course, I'm not stopping, though. I am still overweight and am movin' on toward goal! Just a few ounces from 175...I would really like to hit it by Friday. Then it's 90 pounds down and only 10 pounds from goal! :D
MarliQQ - you should try knitting. It's so fun! I taught myself by watching YouTube videos. ;) Hope you break into the 160s for good soon! |
