Hear, hear!

Hey.

I'm at 179, but might weigh in at 180 again. I tend to bounce around within a few pounds all the time.

When do you say, "I'm officially in the 170s? When you hit 179? When you hit 175?

I'm afraid to post in the 170s section and then be a liar the next day. :)

Welcome, Stripes -- you're definitely in the 170s now even if you bounce up again for a little while. I had that exact same issue when I got here.

I'm 177.6 today, not in your league, Penny, but making steady progress.

170.6. *sigh*

172.4

175.4 today.

Glad to have you, Stripes! You're in the 170s. Some bouncing is normal, and most of us have had it (myself included). I say post here!

Yay, Crow! Steady progress is great! My progress is always kind of nuts, as you'll get to see now. Watch as I bounce around this weight within a pound or so for the next week (it's part of my pattern).

Speaking of steady progress, way to go Maui! You're on the way down!

You're almost there, Chubabub! Only 0.8 lbs until you break into the 160s!

174.8 today. Progress!

Thank you!

179.0 today, down from 179.8

I do not want to see an 8 in that tens place again, so I'm spurred on by that.

Thanks for the encouragement, gang! I went and scoped out the 160's thread :sssh: I know, I probably jinxed myself, but I'm really hoping today was just a blip and I see that 6 tomorrow! I'll update in the morning.

Mer du Japon - great job! You're more than halfway through the 170's. Keep it up!

Crow - so glad to see the bouncing has stopped and you're on your way down!

Nonameslob - Congratulations on the size 12!!!! That's awesome! The scale definitely is not everything. Keep doing what you're doing and it will move down.

MauiKai - I continue to be blown away by the steady progress you keep making, even as you get so much closer to goal. Have you tried the smaller pants yet???

Penny - that was quite a whoosh you had! Nice job!

Stripes - Welcome! I'm really hoping I'm not here long but you can have my place ok? ;)

Mollyw, Nickilaughs - haven't heard from you guys lately. Hope things are going well!

172.2

No, chubabub I still haven't tried them. I'm still wearing my fat pants. I haven't made that psychological leap yet. If I try them and they don't fit it's going to be really hard on my emotions. Maybe when the fat pants just plain ol' fall off I'll be brave enough!

174.8 today. I'm juuuusst on the other side of halfway through the 170s - hopefully I keep on moving toward the 160s!

I went shopping yesterday to get a couple key items of clothes that I need. It's depressing to be a solid size 16. I miss being a size 9/10 in the 140s... Oh well, it just drove home that I need to keep up with this because I'm not happy with where I am. :/

Mer du Japon, progress is always good! Halfway through!

I feel the same! And now I feel like that about a 7 in the tens place (I wanna see that 6!).

Maui, I get how you feel about the pants. I do that same thing. I keep my bigger pants until they're falling off me... and then I get a belt for them.

Thanks, Chubabub! I love whooshes, they're very motivating.

:dance::cb::jig::cloud9: 169.6!!!! :dance::cb::jig::cloud9:

Bye Chub, hope to see you soon!

(P.S. I tried on my next size down pants. They fit.)

Yep, now I get to wear my "slightly smaller fat pants" instead! :carrot:
