Love2b150, syckgirlsfv, and thirti4thirty - I have been your secret stalker for the last few weeks. Been secretly cheering you on and hoping for your success in reaching the 150's. I found it both encouraging to see others struggle like me plus I know that I can make it if you 3 can.
So I hope that I can join you for May and get out of the 160s forever. About 1.5 years ago, I started my life change. I dropped 30 pounds in about 3 months, very easily. Then got stuck at 163. After a few months of no change, I got depressed and started eating a lot. Went back up to 170.
This February, I got my head together and fixed my lifestyle. I started the stronglifts lifting program. I will have completed week 12 on Friday. I like how I got stronger but the weight didn't move very much. I am now going to reduce some of the lifting and get back to focusing on more cardio. I am currently 164 and am 44 years old.
I have a family reunion in July which is one of my incentives cuz I know lots of pictures will be taken. But I feel that I have started making permanent changes. However the last 6 weeks, I have been bouncing between 164 and 169. It's like my body wants to stay in the 160s.
hiddenstar! Congrats on making it here!
Wow, I haven't been here in like a a weeeeeek!
Spent the holidays with family. It was a lot of FUN and I'm back with a 2 lbs courtesy of family. I hope it's water weight though. Planning on having some good grilled fish and gallons of water today.
Love2b Your progress is A-MA-ZING! Keep it up and leave our board! (lol, yes, I'm kicking your butt outta here!)
Anyone heard from hhm6? Gurl, whatever that's going on come back and help me do some damage control!
Starting off with a whopping 166.8 but so proud of myself for salivating so much over grilled fish.
ok, down another .6 this morning. I did have a couple shots yesterday, and I didn't even really enjoy them so I hope they don't play with the numbers on my scale later!

Thanks thirti4thirty, I was trying but my body and mind aren't cooperating I remember hhm saying she was going to do some traveling, abroad I think. Since she hasn't post-ed I'm thinking she doesn't have internet access. Good job on the fish ... LOL I would have eaten it .My son fries fish and I eat that too
Paulitens good to see you We did that body twin thread and then I didn't know what we supposed to do afterwards And yes you-r-rite
Syckgirlsfv good job on the .6 down
I'm down .6. I'm a little shocked since I decided to eat crackers after 11 last night but it's all good I'm happy TOM is coming so I may go up before I go down again
Was pushing the water yesterday. Probably got good work out walking back and forth from bathroom. Family had pizza yesterday (my weakness) but I was prepared. I bought a lean cuisine pizza and I limited myself to that so I couldn't go over calories.
Thirti4thirty - Thanks for the welcome. Wonder were you went.
DH is having knee surgery tomorrow. I bought some healthy snacks for waiting. Will have to try extra hard to stay motivated.
My goal was 165 for a couple of family events. I am excited to show them my weight loss in a few weeks because I haven't seen them in 3 years. I may have been even fatter than 222 then, but I didn't ever weigh myself because I was in denial/scared. I don't even know the last time they saw me under 180. Maybe when I was 12?!
I reached 165 on Saturday, but apparently I am still losing weight because I am 164 today. I seriously doubt it, but I am trying to see if I can get to 159 in three weeks. In reality, anything under 165 though is icing on the cake.
I discovered a few days ago I have almost no summer clothes. I lost around nearly 60lbs since last summer and everything is huge. I also have to go dress shopping. I am not sure of my size (14?), so should be interesting. I also just realized I will need a new swimsuit. I don't think my 20 will fit anymore.
Lots of well wishes for all the other posters wishing to get out of the 160s!
CrabNebulaThat's such a good progress! I'm aiming at a 60 lbs loss too, but I can't for the life of me get out of the first 20 lbs. I hope you'll reach your goal and that your family will be surprised by your efforts.
I'm weighing in today at 166.0 That's a good loss I hope it continues like that. I have made a vow with myself, to be "serious" for the next 20 lbs. Let's see how it goes.
I am up 2.8lbs since yesterday, weighing in at 164.0. I know it's water so I'm not worried. I am up 4.2lbs from my low still not worried. I have a better mind set for some reason this go around. Including today I have had four totally off plan days. My carbs have been really high these days. So once I get that under control I'll be fine. TOM showed up for one day and then gone. I am not understanding this stage of life with my body. But this happened last year in August so it is what it is maybe I'm about to go through menopause I plan to go to the gym this afternoon to help with the up and start tomorrow fresh with low carb low cal
Weighing in today at 165.7 HAPPY. Hard work proving rewarding. I hope to have a good day today too.
Nice weigh in thirti4thirty, we can do what we put our minds to
Honestly that 164.0 was plain ugly. I had to work it out before it got worse No excuses today, I will get back to the 150's before my outings this weekend. I need to show myself that I have some discipline
so I hope they don't play with the numbers on my scale later!
