Penny, you're flying through the 170s! Has all of your loss been this fast?

Maui, at your height you must look fantastic!!

179 even for me today, so hoping my bouncing days are in the past.

Nope, still wide and lumpy!

177.4 today.

Welcome to the thread, nickilaughs! :welcome2:

Crow - Nope. My loss comes in waves (you should see my weight loss graphs - it reads like a crazy EKG). I'll drop a few pounds, stick to about a 5 lbs range for quite a while, and then repeat. It's pretty irritating. The reason I dropped like a pound in a day was because I'm at the end of my TOM and I'm shedding the 3-6 lbs of water weight I always gain.
And congrats on the no-more bouncing! Welcome to the 170s!

MauiKai - You're over halfway through the 170s! Great work!

May we all be in the 160s sooner than we think.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about that. I can't wait to see 160 on the scale.

I sometimes have 1 pound mini-whooshes too (like today). I think I just finally release a bit of water or swelling/retention from a workout and *poof* a pound is gone. It also sometimes comes with a bounce though. Like tomorrow, it could go down again, OR I could get as much as a .5lb bounce. I never know.

Those of you who weigh in regularly via a digital scale remember to recalibrate it regularly! (!!!)

Maui, you can practically smell the 160s now!! I'm a foot shorter than you and I've always thought that tall women carry their weight much more elegantly. Me, I just look like a bowling ball.

Penny, that's the only good thing about the TOM water weight -- it feels good when it slips away again. I still think you're making fantastic progress.

Still bouncing -- 179.4 today -- but at least now I'm bouncing inside the 170s. That's progress, right?

The issue with me is that while tall, I have a very small frame. If you look at the info below, you'll see that since my wrist is 5" around even, which means even if I were under 5'2" I would have a small frame. At 6'1" I have like...I don't know...a micro frame or something! That means that I have to weigh significantly less than you might think in order to not be fat.
