Yes! I can't wait to move out of the 150's. I has been a long road and I am hoping to be in the 140's in 3 weeks! I started the Ideal Protein protocol three weeks ago, I am about to close my fourth week and so far so good!

12/29: 153.6
1/1: 153.4
1/3: 152.6
1/4: 152.4

Ugh. My weight keeps bouncing down a little, then right back up. I'm eating below my calories, so I know it can't be fat gain. Still annoying, though not overly concerning. I just hope I can start moving again. I've been the same weight for like 2 weeks.

Tee4Tee: I can't wait to be out of the 150s and into the 140s either! I will definitely not be in the 140s in 3 weeks, but save me a seat in that decade, will you? ;)

TheLibrarian: You're doing great!

Ugh! 156 AGAIN this morning. I am so frustrated with this. I've been going to the gym 5 days a week and eating really well. I thought maybe it was just water retention- I had a green smoothie for both breakfast and dinner yesterday- a no-sodium meal :(

154.2

153.6 :)

156.

Whew. Finally in the 150s after almost a year of off and on dieting.

New here. I'm 158.5 this morning, so I already hit my mini goal for this month (Being in the 150's before the end). I'm hoping to reach my big goal, 150, before the end of February. March 1st is the 2 year mark when I started, so here's hoping! :)

152.6 I don't even know what it will take to get me motivated to take off this extra weight. Sigh.

Valid, I am in the same boat as you.....I fluctuate from 151 to 153. I have been working out for 45 minutes per day, and eat around 1,200 a day, but still....but it goes down, and then goes up again. :( :( :(

Hey everyone! It's a bit quiet in here, what are you all up to? :)

1/27: ~154

I binged very badly yesterday. My husband has pretty disordered eating habits. He skips both breakfast and lunch most days, even when I prepare food he can take with him. If he does eat, he goes out for lunch. It's frustrating because this means that he and I are almost never on the same eating schedule. And I don't mean we are off by half an hour or even just an hour, I mean hours. This bothers me for several reasons:

1. If we travel somewhere, about 50% of the time we can't eat together. He's hungry when I'm not and vice versa.

2. If we are home and I want to eat together, same thing. It has the irrational side effect of making me feel bad about eating, too.

3. Because he skips his first two meals, he can pig out for dinner. It tempts me, which I know is entirely up to me to control, but for God's sake, pleeeasse try to tone it down!

So of course, last night he comes home and wants to go out to eat at 8pm. I had already capped out on calories so I said I would go and just sit with him. Yeah right. I ate 2k calories in one sitting. So today when he asked me to meet him and his co-workers for hibachi, I said no. Hours after I said no, he says again, "You know, our apartment is on my way to hibachi..." I told him no, I was not going; and I didn't. But I did cry because I was lonely. >.>

Hello 150s! I just made it to 159.6 this morning, so I'm poking my head in here for the first time!

TheLibrarian, how frustrating! I don't have any advice for you, but I would have been lonely and upset too. :/

Whew! I wasn't sure yesterday if I had jumped the gun moving over to this thread, but this morning I was at 159.2, so it's still moving in the right direction!

I went for a soak in the hot tub with DBF last night and noticed that my boobs have shrunk! I was falling out of my swimsuit! Oops! I'm not ready to buy a new one yet so I'm going with creative use of safety pins to keep the girls contained for now. :)

That is one thing I will miss when I lose weight. Thinking of holding a funeral for them when it happens...

Hello to all the ladies in this thread!

Yesterday I was 159.4, this morning 158.8. So I'm joining you in the 150s thread.

I've been fairly steady at a pound a week (which is what we are supposed to do, right? Blech.) I wouldn't want to go back to 200lbs, but I do miss dropping a pound every few days and eating 1800 calories. Now I'm on 1300 and can't really go lower without losing my mind and eating everything in site. Same thing with adding a bunch of exercise - spikes my hunger like nothing else.

I'll read over the last few pages of the thread to see what others are up to.
