I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm pretty much losing a little every day now. Normally I try really hard not to weigh in every day but I'm just amazed the number is going the way it is!

178.2 today (and I checked this *after* I'd eaten breakfast and had coffee so it might even be lower than that). I might check again after I workout because I find that when I don't have time to weigh in in the morning if I do so immediately after a sweaty workout the number is more or less the same.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

179 this morning after eating Waffle House early early this morning up 1.2 from yesterday

I'm retaining quite a bit of water today, but yesterday I was at 174.6. I am super hopeful that I might be in the 160s by Feb!

I've bounced in and out of the 170s since September--and I want to stay in the 170s for a while--and never go about 180 again.

Beth, I'm too close to 180 so I'm with you :)

Happy New Year everyone!

I've been crazy busy those past couple of months - and since it seems that I can only focus on one project at a time, I've been in the 170s for... oh, ages! At least it feels like it's been that long.
So, my new goal for a brand-new year: learn how to "multitask" ;)
(Oh, yeah, and improve my English ;) )

That being said - I'd love to join you guys for (hopefully only) a little while.

181 lbs today!! come onnnn ticker weight!!!! glad to see that everyone is doing well,,, will be posting here more regularly from today since im done with all the guests and hosting :)

JenteIsving :welcome: to the thread :) Hope you move to the new decade soon :crossed:

hamlette I'm right here with you, weighing in at 180.4 today

I've been weighing at in at 178.x the last few days--I really want to stay here--and that means really controlling myself this weekend when I'll have a houseful of people and food.

So I think I've found the magic pill for weight loss!!! - Apparently it's a glass of wine every other night on vacation.

No, seriously, last night I had some wine and ate chips, chips. I never eat chips. I never buy chips but I did yesterday…

Weighed myself this morning feeling like for sure it would be up. 177.0. I lost 2.4lbs this week. W.T.F. It's both hilarious and confusing!

My sodium bloat is gone now - back to 174.6. School/work starts again after next week and I worry if my exercise regimen will suffer once all the insanity comes back into my life. I've already started to plan out my obligations and see where I might be able to fit in gym time. :-/

Beth with you on control I need to keep the control so I can keep the scale moving. I want to be out of this decade once and for all, but not in the 180's ;)

gymrat good job on the 2.4lbs gone :high: maybe the wine kills the sodium :)

PUPMOM5 nice weigh in glad the sodium is gone :high:

I am down 3lbs of water to 177.4 … shows me what I can do if I just eat right :)

love2b150 - Hahahah. I like that theory! Yay for losing water!

Thanks gymrat :)

OK, so after a ton of Christmas eating I got as high as 184lbs (from 172-ish), which was simultaneously hilarious and scary. Just shows how much my body can fluctuate. Now I'm back to 175lbs. TOM is paying a visit, so I'm not sure how much that is affecting currently. Now I just don't feel like eating at all, so the other day, I didn't. I just literally stopped eating and then fasted for something like 40h. I must point out that it's not a punishment type of torturous thing for me. I just literally got fed up with food :-)

I knew this would happen, so it's not so shocking, but now I just have to actually start working after the holidays if I want to reach my goal before the summer.

SparklyBunny you fasted for 40 hours? I think that's great. I am fasting from a ton of things but not a whole fast so I applaud you.

I am down two more pounds of water … I have finally reached my pre-Thanksgiving goal and my pre-Christmas goal, which was to see 175 prior to the holidays This morning I weighed in at 175.4 … so happy to know my scale can show that number. TOM has come to visit me also but I think most of my bloat is gone since I spotted for 3 days before today

Awesome job ladies! This morning I was 177.2...so I'm sure that I will be to my goal for the week of 176 by Monday (weigh in day) I have to say that it has been a challenge getting back in the swing of things...after not exercising for like a month..I am proud to say that I jogged 2 miles both yesterday and the day before yesterday. So I'm making progress again...just need to keep plugging along. Only 7 pounds left until my goal...but I think that I may change my goal to 160....I don't know, I'm undecided still. We'll see! Haha! :carrot:

Nice work tadaponce :high:

I'm making progress also, I hope to keep it going :) I have 6lbs to go to meet my next goal. We can do this :)

178.0 today, was 179.2 yesterday (definitely sodium bloat coupled with not feeling great).

Today is my last day of vacation officially so I went out with a bang and tried the McDonald's poutine (that I've been craving for the last two weeks). Starting my new plan tomorrow.

gymrat good job on the 1.2lbs down :high:

I was down 1lb to 174.4 this morning

173 after getting well I hope to knock out of the 170s within a month of working out again.

I keep saying I've started eating clean but get off track the next instant :( today was a successful on plan day thank goodness!! Still in the 180's.... going for a walk right now... Hopefully no other slip ups will happen

177.6 today (and that's after I ate poutine with 1000+mg of sodium in it.) I'm on a different scale now, so I think I might actually be a bit lower than this because I usually weigh a little heavier on the scale at my apartment than on on the scale at my parents' house.

It's bitterly cold here and I don't think I'll be making it to the gym. Instead I will unpack my room and get myself ready for school tomorrow. I need a few groceries as well. I've relaxed a lot over Christmas and skipping the gym more than once or twice a week isn't tragic in my mind anymore. So I think that's good. I'm starting my new program today which is lots of baby steps being added together so it's nothing to strenuous right now.

Feeling good! I'm actually starting to imagine I *could* hit the 160s again. I've been in the 170s - and climbing - since September 2012, so being back in the 160s would be so sweet.

Up and down, up and down, shesh losing weight sucks! Still, its dropping slowly so that is what I'm focused on. 175.4lb today. But I have a week of cakes and cookies ahead, give me strength!

172.6 this morning

Back up to 179 today. Feeling *really* bloated and uncomfortable.

Edit: Just discovered a ton of extra sodium I've had in my diet the last few days. Grrr. That explains the bloat.

I'm back into the 179.x range--this time, I am going to stay here. I don't have any challenges coming up for the next 2 weeks, so I just need to stay the course, and I'll be fine--and hopefully, permanently into the 170s, with the 180s far far far behind.

I'm concentrating on my next mini goal of 175 lbs--for some reason, that seems like a meaningful number to me!

173.2

Glad to see we're all still here after the holiday period! I'm off on another holiday at the end of the week so have to try and stay on track while away argh! Hopefully I'll walk every day but while nice in theory the reality is usually that I get too lazy and eat too much -LOL-

173.7lb today, nice to be on the lower end of the 170s!

172.2 new low (this go around) I so want to see 170. Everytime I get close I go back up … let's hope I can make it this time :)

Way to go jitterfish and love2b150--it's so encouraging to see people fighting their way OUT of the 170s!

I think I'm really finally here for good--I don't ever want to go above 180 again in my entire life ever ever ever ever again.

178.2 isn't as low as you two are, but I'm getting there!

:wave: Hello! I lost the holiday weight and I am back. Today 178.5 :cb:

thanks Beth, you can do it and you will :) because if I can we all can, I am a piece of work :dizzy:

Kitcherella way to go :)

new low 171.8

I hit a new low this morning--176.4! I love visits from the whoosh fairy!

I'm trying to focus on today but I'm doing that "if I lose 2 lbs a week. I can weigh 150 by our cruise in May" thing--like that ever works. I do have a more realistic goal of 160 by then--and that would be amazing.

Congrats everyone on the great weigh ins!

I want a visit from the Woosh Fairy!

Hello all! It's been about a week since my last check in. This morning I was 177.4...annoying! I have been stuck at this number forever! It feels like the 170's are gonna last forever lol! Gonna be more disciplined in my diet and exercise and hope for the best. Gotta stay positive and know that these small "stalls" don't last forever and the scale will move eventually. ;)

the whoosh fairy is here too Beth 177 today! I am sending her your way Gymrat
:congrat: on the low love2b150

Thanks Kitcherella! I'm bloated and whiney and hungry. BAH. No weight today, it's not worth the aggravation.

My ticker is off (I was 169 before the holidays!!!) I'm struggling to get back to that number and I don't know why but it is HARD!

I was 174 today though, so a lb lower than yesterday! It's something right? I think I need to be more active on this thread so I keep the motivation going. You guys are doing so great!!!

I'm back in the 170s . . . barely! I'm with you Beth. 180s never ever ever ever ever again!:p
