Welcome atarimae!
That's a great loss for last month! You'll be into the 140s before you know it!!
I've been struggling with motivation which is confusing to me... I hate being at this weight but I keep sabotaging myself by focusing on the fact that I'm trying to re-lose weight I've already lost before. My brain is like "well you won't be happy/excited by a number until you're 15 pounds down since you've already been there done that with these numbers so why even try". Ugh my brain is irritating.
Hope everyone else had a great week though!!
Hi all, as of this morning I am 159.2 so joining this thread to get some extra motivation! 150 seems a long way off right now but hoping slow and steady weightloss will get me there!
Someone please get me out of the 150's. i seem to have issues with getting out and have not been out of the 150's since 2005 and really need to get there!
I am currently in the mid 150's and I want to be in ther 130's by Halloween and I will get there.
I also find it is hard work towards the end when you have a normal BMI and you are burning a lot less calories with your exercise.
Ive been hanging out at 157 for a few weeks now but I am pretty happy about that. It seems like for over a year I was stuck in the mid 160's and could only make it into the 150's for a few days and then I would quickly hit the 160's again. I think my body is just getting used to being a lower weight. I feel much better physically in the 150s than I did in the 160s. It's funny how 8 pounds can make such a difference.
Back up to 160 this morning SO frustrating....It know its my own fault but its so hard to be motivated like i was at the beginning. I feel like if i could just see 155 i would be so motivated to get to 149, yet i keep making crappy decisions.
Woohoo! I saw 155.6 today!! I always wait until I see a number for a few days since I fluctuate regularly but I'm happy to see that number again haha feels good to be moving in the right direction again
jessx I feel you on the motivation but I'm sending you good vibes. You'll get there! pinkhippie yes I think it's really good to allow your body time to grow accustomed to a lower weight. Eight pounds does make a huge difference and great job staying in the 150s!!
After fluctuating all of August I am feeling in control. I am about 154. Which is approximately the same weight as 6 weeks ago. However, clothes now fit that were too tight and I just easily pr'd on some new lifts tonight. I also had some great runs this week.
I have changed my goal to 1 pound a week in September. October goal: Two pounds loss total. And 1/2 a pound every month while I learn maintenance. I hope that will keep me in check.
I'm pretty sure I'm on this thread by myself now haha ooh well. Here's to hoping people will join me soon!
Happy Friday to anyone out there!!
I got to move my ticker down today and I'm thrilled about that officially in the lower range of this decade woohoo! Here's to getting even closer to 150.0 this next week!!
Hi Lioness. I'm still here! Sounds like you're plugging away and doing a great job at moving the needle.
I've been traveling a lot (a vacation and then a week out of town for work) and preparing to welcome a new puppy into my home, so life has been a bit insane lately. BUT, somehow amidst all the stress and chaos in my life, I have stayed on track. I'm actually shocked and really proud of myself. My pattern in the past has been to go on vacation, get way off track and then fall off the wagon. Not this time! I stepped on the scale and saw a 149.3 this morning. I have never weighed in the 140s in my adult life, so I'm super pumped!
I'm sticking around here for a little longer though. I'm doing WW and my scale is 2 pounds under the scale at my meetings so I'm not moving to the 140s thread until I weigh in the 140s at WW. And I have a very challenging week ahead of me with a lot of social engagements planned with food and alcohol. But man, I feel good! Hope everyone is doing great and has an awesome week.
