Hi friends!
I'm back after years of not posting here and I always find myself back in this particular section of the forum. Tried WW for a year, which was a decent program, but I can't afford it any longer. Life is busy, but I try to make healthy choices as much as I can. I run races, strength train, and try to stay within my calorie limit, I can't seem to get this weight off. Looking for support! I've been fluctuating between 149-153 since the start of the year. Hopefully will be posting here regularly, until I see some traction. Would love to cheer on others as well! Thanks for reading!
fluffy I sort of fell off the wagon, too, and have been sitting at 153-154ish for a few weeks. I am going for 150 by Memorial Day, and hopefully 140's by VEGAS! We can do it!
Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a long time, but I really really need to lose some weight. I moved to a new city a year ago, and packed on the pounds enjoying the great cuisine! My biggest weakness is the amazing froyo place down the street. It's SO GOOD.
So, I've been dieting for the last month, but I really need to talk more about it. Hubs is on a diet too, but he loses weight so easily, whereas I feel like I need to be so diligent (I guess it's the foot in height difference!).
So I'm a 28yr old girl, currently in the 150s at 4'11, and working towards getting to between 115-120.
GOOD -I'm back. BAD - I'm back. So it's both good and bad.
My story for those that remember me and for those that are new.
The day before Christmas I reached 143. My lowest since being a teenager. Since that day I have not been able to motivate myself to stay on track. I started several times but it only lasted a few days. I got my motivation back and I'm determine to finish this and reach goal. Today I was 156.6. So I have a ways to go to get back to where I was and then some. I'm thinking I need to lose about 20 pounds - but main goal is smaller waist and thighs (don't really care about number).
I think one of my biggest challenge is my husband. He's not dieting (really needs to be). Love him but he is either eating treats in front of me or buying them for me.
No goal date but vacation is in july. So let's see how far I get.
hi Hiddenstar!!! I'm still here - been up and down between 150 and 153-ish forever, but it's a good weight for me. I do still want to try for the 140's and I might try to get there before Vegas next month. Good luck!!!
Syckgirlsfv - it's good to hear from you. Cool that you got another exciting Vegas trip coming up. We're planning on going to Branson and take in a few shows and stuff. I'm looking forward to it - never been there.
155.6 today. Still getting hunger pains. Need to give my body more time to adapt. I'm not doing any extreme cutting. Just probably use to overeating.
155.0 today. Feeling good. Told hubby and kids that I don't want any food gifts for mothers day. I'm not going to mess up not even for a day. I just don't think that I can handle a cheat day. Every time I do, I tend to fall apart.
For the last 3 days, I have been 155.8. I hate it when it sticks like that. give me some type of movement. I messed up 1 day but got back on it. Hope everyone is doing well
159 today. Weight has been bouncing a bit, but luckily not getting back to the 160s. I have been a bit lazy lately, must do something about that one, today!
Glad to see this thread reactivated, because I am knocking on your door, 150s!
Congratulations pigeon! See you here soon. Will now get back to the 160s thread where I belong - but not for long!
After less than a week at 159 in 2014, I had been stalled at 165ish for about a year(which coming down from 200 was still quite an accomplishment) but finally a couple weeks ago I finally broke the 160s barrier and have been holding steady at 159. This morning I was 158.8 so we will see. I'm just soooooo happy to be in the 150's again. Congratulations Pigeon!

Hi SuperB, I trust you'll come to stay a bit longer (although not too long I hope!) in near future!
Hi Pinkhippie, congrats for breaking that barrier again!
158.6 today. I'm getting a bit frustrated, I know my weight tends to bounce around a bit and I only need to look at the ticker to see that nevertheless I've been losing, but damn! I just _know_ the next 20 pounds are the ones I really, really want to lose, and I'm terrified of the thought that I would stall here, only a bit under my old "fat weight". Oh well, I'm sure I'll keep losing, although it will probably not be as smooth a ride as it has been until here. Think I'll take an extra-long walk later today.
Well right after worrying I started to lose steadily again. 157.2 this morning, even if attended a party yesterday, so I'm happy.
Had my first unpleasant comment yesterday though. A friend, when she saw me (we haven't met in a month or so) shouted out: "Oh you are wasting away!" I got really pissed! Nothing like that has been happening. I'm losing steadily with healthy diet and regular exercise, I'm not starving myself, I am still significantly overweight and I have more muscle than I've had since forever.
I know it was probably meant as a compliment, but darn, I'm on a very healthy track and don't want to be told such things!!! It's my body and if I want to take care of it so I can keep doing my favourite things (hiking, tea ceremony) into ripe old age if I live that long, I'm entitled to do it without being told I'm doing something bad to myself. Damn I was pissed!
Hi all!
I'm still here - been up and down between 150 and 153-ish forever, but it's a good weight for me. I do still want to try for the 140's and I might try to get there before Vegas next month. Good luck!!!
